HOT ZONE - RSI with IV Percentile: Buy Stock or Sell Put Options Signal For ThinkOrSwim

Add the HotzoneRSI as well. Draw a trendline and a break would be confirmation.
Added hotzonrRSI & got the trendlines

Monitor the WEEKLY chart and set alerts in the scan for the weekly timeframe.

@chewie76 : I know we're almost 4 years removed from when you first posted this, but I am very interested in the interaction between the RSI and the IV Percentile...Could you explain how to get the IV Percentile to plot on a weekly chart? Nothing I've tried has worked...

I look forward to your reply when and if you have a chance to so do...Thanks for your time and effort putting this whole thing together...It is much appreciated...

It works for me. Try looking at QQQ. I see it on the weekly.
 
@chewie76 : Thanks for the swift reply...I appreciate it...

Yeah, I see what you're saying about QQQ...Must be something with the Futures...I'm focused on NQ...I guess I'll use QQQ as a proxy...

Weird thing is I can't get the IV Percentile for GC for the Weekly and the Daily, just the lower timeframes...Looks like I'll have to use GLD as well...

In any event, at least I can proxy via the ETFs...Thanks for the tip...

Good Luck and Good Trading :cool:
 
It's gonna get heated up with the Hot Zone indicator! Hope you like it. It is a combination of RSI with IV percentile. The red colored area where IV is greater than RSI is the Hot Zone. Inside the Hot Zone are some colored circles on the midline. A yellow circle is a caution warning. This means it could be a good buy, but be cautious because it is a weak signal. The red circle is the HOT warning. This means it's time to buy or sell put options.

NOTE: there may be a string of red circles, so the first one that appears may not be the best entry because more could follow. You'll want to see the RSI and IV come back together for extra confirmation. Another confirmation is the ZSCORE upper indicator on this forum. Below are a few examples.

This indicator works great with the BTD indicator. Enjoy heating up your account with the Hot Zone!

This is an example of CWH on a daily chart.

This is an example of SPY on 12/24/2019. It showed the EXACT low! Then it ripped higher for the next 4 months.

This is an example of TSLA. 3 days this year were HOT buys in the middle of March 2020.

There is another version of this indicator that @FateOwnzYou helped make. SHOUT OUT to you fellow scripter! You're awesome! This version is cleaner to the eye and basically subtracts the RSI from IV and makes one single line so the greater the distance between them the further down the Hot Zone goes. I added the yellow and red circles, but you may want to adjust these settings for your trading style. The only negative is you don't actually see the actual RSI indicator, and some people who already use RSI would probably prefer using the other version to keep the RSI. The clear advantage is it gives clear buy and sell areas. Under the green line is a buy area. Over the red line is a sell area shaded in green (collect your cash money!) . (Any area in red could be considered a buy area, but the closer to the green line, the better.)

Lets look at a DAY TRADE in /RTY. Look at both of these Hot Zone indicators. Notice the one on the bottom. Circled areas for buys and sells.

Here is an example of QQQ on a daily chart. Notice the HOT circles and buy area on lower indicator and the sell areas.

Added ARROWS to the indicator. See below.

Below is an example of day trading /RTY using a 2 min chart. Look at the sell signal arrow and the two red hot buy dots that are highlighted, both followed by green buy arrows.

There are some traders who don't like to use lower indicators. Good news for YOU!!! I created an UPPER indicator that uses BOTH of these into one!!! You can turn on/off the arrows. You can turn on/off the hot and caution dots for the Hotzone and Hotzone line indicators. NOTE: IF you display dots for BOTH indicators, the Hotzone Line dots will plot over the Hotzone indicator dots. If you want to have the opposite, I believe you would just have to move their order within the code.

Below is an example of using the arrows from the HotZone Line indicator with the dots from the HotZone indicator on /ES 15 min chart.

Do you want to make some serious long term cash?? Monitor the WEEKLY chart and set alerts in the scan for the weekly timeframe. Take a look at the below example of NDX. Hotzone will tell you when to get back into the market after a significant crash!

Adjust the timeframe on it. It will look like the below. It will have a yellow CAUTION for the yellow dot and a red HOT for red dot. The reason there are two columns is because they are set to different timeframes.

@FateOwnzYou, @chewie76, thanks so much for hotzone indicators.

Can you please share scanner that we can use on daily and hourly?

Also I used below scanners and it's not showing hotzone column (attached screenshot)


Here is a BUY scan. http://tos.mx/Qh32soR

Can anyone more knowledgeable than me, help with adding a histogram for RSI from the middle line? I have been able to add one it however it comes up from 0 instead of the mid line.

As a mathematical precept, the baseline for histograms is at zero.
The ToS app does not provide the ability to change that.

Given that RSI and your other plots use 50 as the midline, a workaround would be to subtract 50 from your definitions. Which will allow you to successfully use the histogram paint strategy.
