@generic Works perfectly! thank you really appreciate it

Learnbot · Dec 12, 2020

@generic quick question, so per your script provided above I can change current_agg to plot the lines on different aggregation however, I do have a question. is there a way to plot the 15 min aggregation lines on 5 min chart? What this script does for me is it plots major moves and then I go down into smaller time frame to further refine those areas to find future supply and demand zones.

generic · Dec 12, 2020

@Learnbot Remove all the fifteen code and change open, high, low, close to use current_agg as period. open(period = current_agg)

will this show 15 min lines on a smaller time frame? like I don't want current agg signals I just want to see 15 mins signal lines on all time frames only.

@Learnbot It will show but if you're doing this for live trading then it can repaint because you're using higher aggregation.

oh ok.. I just use it to draw key levels on chart before the market opens so I don't think repainting would affect it (I think ) I use a higher time frame because little noise aka false signals u know what I mean.. thank you buddy for your time

one more question plz, so this indicator is working well for me however I do have a quick question. So currently I check 1hr time frame then 45min and then 15 min time frame, to draw my levels however i wanted to see if there is a way to plot 1hr and 45min levels along with 15 min levels all on one chart so i don't have to mark every single levels in each time frame rather i would see them all on 15 min chart.

@Learnbot Just load the script 3 times and change the agg.

So I added the studies two times and in one I kept the agg to fifteen min and the other I changed to 1 hour, 15 mins plotted on 15 min chart however, 1 hour did not. then I tried changing to code to following but still same issue, only 15 min plots on 15 min chart not 15 min and 1 hour not sure why.

@Learnbot Thats cause you never changed the code. Look at post #23.

Hello,
I was wondering if someone here can help me figure out a way to draw a box around a specific pattern I am interested in (this makes it easy for me to spot the pattern while I am looking at multiple chart at the same time). I used TOS's pattern section to obtain the below code for the pattern but I cant figure out how to draw a box around it.

Code:

# Generation time: 2021-03-30T17:26:20.467Z

def IsUp = close > open;
def IsDown = close < open;
def IsDoji = IsDoji();
def avgRange = 0.05 * Average(high - low, 20);
plot PatternPlot =
    IsDown[4] and
    IsDown[3] and
    IsDown[2] and

I did try figuring this out by using script posted by @BenTen here but alas no luck:

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...kout-breakdown-indicator-for-thinkorswim.103/

thank you for any help and appreciate your time.

@Learnbot Apply what you learned from this thread and use AddCloud function to connect the two lines.

You are a genius! I didnt even think abt this way of solving the problem! THANK YOU! so my problem is mostly solved but I wanted to make it a little bit cleaner if possible. Here is the script I came up with:

Code:

# Generation time: 2021-03-30T17:26:20.467Z
input hidecloud = no;
def IsUp = close > open;
def IsDown = close < open;
def IsDoji = IsDoji();
def avgRange = 0.05 * Average(high - low, 20);
def PatternPlot =
    IsDown[4] and
    IsDown[3] and
    IsDown[2] and
    IsUp[1] and
    IsUp[0] and
    open[4] > open[3] and
    close[1] < close[0] and
    close[4] > close[3] and
    close[3] > close[2] and
    open[3] > open[2];

def b_h = if PatternPlot then open[1] else b_h[1];
def B_l = if PatternPlot then close[1] else b_l[1];

plot hh = b_H;
plot ll = b_l;
hh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
ll.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
hh.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
ll.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);


addcloud(if !HideCloud then hh else double.nan, ll, color.gray, color.gray);

so everything is working fine however the only issue I have is this: how can I limit this could? As you can see in the image below the clods keeps extending. The red rectangle(ish) is where the condition is met and the cloud highs and lows are set correctly the only issue is the length, I was wondering if there is a way to limit the cloud to just the red rectangle(ish) like in your consolidation script.

again your idea worked like a charm I just want to clean it up a little to declutter my chart (if possible). THANK YOU!!!

BenTen · Mar 30, 2021

@Learnbot Awesome. Glad to see you got it to work. That's just the way TOS plot their clouds.

I am learning daytrading, so what I do is i use the 1 HR and 15 min script along with the original script i posted in #39 on 5 min chart. This way i can see supply and demand zones for three different time frames on one chart (5min, 15min and 1 hour). Hope this helps.
