I came across a PPO type indicator script (I think written by Mobius or a variation of one of his) while looking at dual time frame type momentum play threads. I can't seem to find it but the indicator header is this;

#converted from mobius macd to ppo
# this is actually macd and sqz indicator in one
# added pivots

Can anyone point me to the correct thread? I'm trying to find out how to setup a scanner to populate a watchlist when the buy or sell signal is displayed. Thanks.
 
I found a Shared Link: https://tos.mx/VmatfLU in the PPO (Price Percent Oscillator) thread post#2
Scan for plotPH for up arrow and plotPL for down arrow

Thanks for the reply. The indicator does display the arrows. I'm trying to find the original thread so I can see more of the discussion on it then setup a scan for it.
