Indicator that find stocks that Pullback to Moving Average

[Nick]

Hi, i manage to find this code created by Pete Hahn. It plots the UpArrow these two conditions are met, Price pulls back to 20MA and CCI is below 100. What i did was to apply this indicator and scan together with a uptrending watchlist and the results are satisfactory. You may change the Moving Average by changing the value of ma1.

input length = 14;

def price = close + low + high;

def linDev = lindev(price, length);

def CCI = if linDev == 0 then 0 else (price - Average(price, length)) / linDev / 0.015;

def ma1 = Average(close, 20);

def priceAboveMa1 = close > ma1;

def atLeastFiveBarsAboveMa1 = Lowest(priceAboveMa1, 5) > 0;

def firstTouchInFiveBars = atLeastFiveBarsAboveMa1[1] and close < ma1;

plot signal = if firstTouchInFiveBars and CCI < 100 then low else Double.NaN;

signal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);

signal.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);

Hope this is useful.

Thanks

Hi @Nick, how does the CCI fit into the puzzle, in your opinion?

 

[Nick]

Hi @markos, i have screenshot two pictures to highlight how the buy arrow will appear. What i did was to use the codes and created a scan query on Daily timeframe. The objective of this scan is to scan for stocks that have met these two conditions, Price touch or close below the 20D MA with the CCI <100 (Oversold) If these two condition is met, an Up Arrow will appear.

Similarly, the CCI can serve to determine when is the Entry Pt, ie BUY is triggered when CCI cuts above the -100 line.

Currently, I am getting some inconsistent scan results as shown in the pics, where, there few arrows are plotted even when the CCI value is not <100.

It will beIf anyone can help to tweak the code, so that we can get the arrows plotted ONLY when the two conditions are present. It will be great

Hope I have answer your query.

Thanks

How does the code look in the editor? No errors? The order of operations may be off, just a guess.
Should there be another set of Parenthesis around the CCI line?
Check order of operations in the thinkscript manual, I could be wrong. I don't have ToS available now.
Anyone else?

input tenkan_period = 9;
input kijun_period = 26;
plot Tenkan = (Highest(high, tenkan_period) + Lowest(low, tenkan_period)) / 2;
plot Kijun = (Highest(high, kijun_period) + Lowest(low, kijun_period)) / 2;
plot "Span A" = (Tenkan[kijun_period] + Kijun[kijun_period]) / 2;
plot "Span B" = (Highest(high[kijun_period], 2 * kijun_period) + Lowest(low[kijun_period], 2 * kijun_period)) / 2;
plot Chikou = close[-kijun_period];
Tenkan.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
Kijun.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(2));
"Span A".SetDefaultColor(GetColor(3));
"Span B".SetDefaultColor(GetColor(4));
Chikou.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
DefineGlobalColor("Bullish", Color.YELLOW);
DefineGlobalColor("Bearish", Color.RED);
AddCloud("Span A", "Span B", globalColor("Bullish"), globalColor("Bearish"));
input length = 14;
def price = close + low + high;
def linDev = lindev(price, length);
def CCI = if linDev == 0 then 0 else (price - Average(price, length)) / linDev / 0.015;
def ma1 = Average(close, 10);
def priceAboveCloud = close > "Span A" and close > "Span B";
def priceAboveMa1 = close > ma1;
def atLeastFiveBarsAboveMa1 = Lowest(priceAboveMa1, 5) > 0;
def firstTouchInFiveBars = atLeastFiveBarsAboveMa1[1] and close < ma1;
plot signal = if firstTouchInFiveBars and CCI < 100 then low else Double.NaN;
signal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
signal.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);

@markos this is how the original code was written, I realized that I don't really need the ichimoku cloud as another condition to be screened and removed it to just plot up arrow when the price pullbacks to 20MA and CCI is <100.

input length = 14;
def price = close + low + high;
def linDev = lindev(price, length);
def CCI = if linDev == 0 then 0 else (price - Average(price, length)) / linDev / 0.015;
def ma1 = Average(close, 20);

def priceAboveMa1 = close > ma1;
def atLeastFiveBarsAboveMa1 = Lowest(priceAboveMa1, 5) > 0;
def firstTouchInFiveBars = atLeastFiveBarsAboveMa1[1] and close < ma1;
plot signal = if firstTouchInFiveBars and CCI < 100 then low else Double.NaN;
signal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
signal.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);

Hope we can tweak the code to achieve the desired results.. thanks

@Nick Try to leave everything in the code, it will not take up memory or be recognized if you just comment out the lines you don't want. So, just put a # in front of each line you want out and it will be ignored. That way you will see if any of the code you want is somehow dependent on the code you don't want. Otherwise, try to change the ICHI stuff to (Color.Current) and hopefully that will make the color transparent. (I hope, it's just a guess) Next, go through the Universe and the ToS manuals. Another "thunk", CCI is a built in study, try to just reference that vs the linDev lines as they might point to the ICHIstuff...

@markos thank you

@Nick @markos long shot that either of you may still see this response but I came across this thread. i was trying to come up with something identical to this set up so thank you so much for this thread. my one question is that this code captures EMA crossover for closing price action. it does not capture/trigger an indicator for price action that dips below the EMA but pulls back up above the EMA by close. Would you be able to assist in the code so this triggers if the price crosses the EMA at any point during the day, be it the high low or close? thanks

I have been trying to make some scanners but I mess up the code in some of the lines and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Is it possible to make a scanner that alerts you of stocks that are pulling back to the 9 EMA after breaking a resistance level? If so could I get some assistance?
