thank you! does your watchlist dynamically update with your scanner results? Mine doesn't update dynamically and it's taking 10-15 minutes and by the time i get it on my watchlist i cannot enter the trade. @J007RMC @Esvee/SV
Have not been looking on watch list, but I see the scanner is keep updating the results, I will recheck it tomorrow.....
 
Yea, I only use the swing hi/lo waves for the pivots and the swing short waves for the alerts I uncheck everything else.
 
The swing wave script is extremely helpful as a stand-alone- Really just one upper depending on your time frames and the securities you trade BA is a good example, something that moves. Do some research to pair this with a waves script and life becomes better.

 
Do they repaint or have bar delay?
Yes, practically everything repaints with price movement but really really once the hi-low price sets and the reversal happens, there you go...patience is 95% of the game. I don't believe absolute indicators exist without reversal. 5 wave counts are a good rule for me.
 
Well, the major wave completion then followed by intermediate wave counts/minors I mean.
 
Time to put this thread to rest. I'm going to take this 1 step further my only interests here are to turn you guys onto a killer system but you have to do the research to find the missing piece of the puzzle. I've added major/minor lines, basic swing waves high script, and projection pivots scripts.

How do I trade the waves?

Always watch the pre-market I leave my setting on.
At what point is the ending/beginning wave pe-open
At what point is the ending/beginning wave at close
Can be used with any time frame
I prefer watching my charts on 30 min time frame and enter/exit 2-5min
I trade the beginning and end of the minor/major wave sets.

Of course, the minor-major waves are based on resistance/support levels GL :sneaky:

@Esvee/SV Unfortunately, can't code for that indicator any longer. but the basic logic for what you are asking is here.

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/consecutive-bar-count-indicator-for-thinkorswim.324/ you just have to change the condition to what you need.
Hi Surya... tried my level best, but coding is above my head and not able to make it up :(
but wondering to check the specific reason why the restriction on coding - on this specific indicator.. Any help on this is highly appreciated... /Srini
 
Well, it's been a while since I last posted to the thread. I'm posting a chart of public domain indicators for your enjoyment folks try em' out.
