Laguerre Used for Stop Placement

[ebtrader]

Here's a great way to use Laguerre for stop placement.

AssignBackgroundColor(CreateColor(8, 0, 15));

input price = close;
input gamma = 0.2;

rec L0 = (1 - gamma) * price + gamma * L0[1];
rec L1 = -gamma * L0 + L0[1] + gamma * L1[1];
rec L2 = -gamma * L1 + L1[1] + gamma * L2[1];
rec L3 = -gamma * L2 + L2[1] + gamma * L3[1];
def FIlt = (L0 + 2 * L1 + 2 * L2 + L3) / 6;
def FIR = (price + 2 * price[1] + 2 * price[2] + price[3]) / 6;

plot Plot1 = FIlt;
plot Plot2 = FIR;

#Plot1.SetDefaultColor(color.red);
#Plot2.SetDefaultColor(color.blue);
Plot1.AssignValueColor(if Filt > FIlt[1] then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

Plot2.AssignValueColor(if FIR  > FIlt and FIR > FIR[1]  then Color.GREEN else if FIR < FIlt and FIR < FIR[1] then Color.RED else Color.WHITE);


#AssignPriceColor(if FIR  > FIlt and FIR > FIR[1]  then Color.GREEN else if FIR < FIlt and FIR < FIR[1] then Color.RED else Color.WHITE);

thanks for sharing @ebtrader seems has potential! - Applicable across all time frames. Nice work and thanks again!

i love studies that work across all time frames like this one. i you have any tweaks to it, please let me know.

@ebtrader just curious, why do you have Gamma at 0.2 vs 0.5 or higher?

@ebtrader just curious, why do you have Gamma at 0.2 vs 0.5 or higher?

it has been ages since i tweaked it, but i guess that's the setting that helped me get what i wanted. Is 0.5 the standard out there?

 

[markos]

Not necessarily, I have seen it in other scripts this low, but more often, I've seen it above 70. It may be script dependent,

 

[diazlaz]

Seems a value of 0.5 to 0.8 seems to work better in shorter timeframes.

 

[ebtrader]

I just tried 0.5 and it is really neat - shows the turns sooner, but not confirmed until crosses over - so basically shows the countertrend trades until the crossover.

It might be best to have both 0.5 and 0.2 on the same chart to keep you in the trade.

 

[ebtrader]

here is a version that can put more than one gamma setting on the same chart.

That's ok for testing purposes.

ebtrader curious if you used any other complimentary indicator with this that was not redundant. Thanks

 

[skynetgen]

I made some visual enhancement to this and fixed code duplication: cannot stand non pretty code lol.

I didn't want redundancy as mentione in this tread so tried to get this code but TOS says this URL appears to be broken please check and try again

Added this script to my chart but nothing shows up but it is the weekend. Does it only show up during market hours? Thanks

.08-.13 are original parameters...

I think you created some very interesting indicators I've discovered.

The code works,...copy/paste,...if it doesn't work, scratch last letter....
