Leavitt Slope and Leavitt Acceleration Indicators For ThinkOrSwim

[BillW]

@MerryDay I use this with Aroon up and down with standard 25 period. Aroon's lag pretty much eliminates what I call false entry signals with Leavitt. Aroon takes a little time to understand its nuances.

@BillW The TOS platform makes me crazy sometimes. But I keep coming back because of this forum and posters like you. The Aroon will work better with the MACD BB. Thanks!

@BillW The TOS platform makes me crazy sometimes. But I keep coming back because of this forum and posters like you. Using the Aroon eliminated 75% of my false signals. You are the best!

I do use different Aroon settings for different time frames 7 minute is 25 15 and 30min are 8

What is the difference between Leavitt Slope & TTM Squeeze (SqueezePro) ?
They look quite similar.
Leavitt Slope seems better than TTM Squeeze in presenting the overall trend.
TTM Squeeze is more sensitive to price changes.

TTM Squeeze is more sensitive to price changes.

The histogram portions that look similar in both Studies are based on the Inertia() Study but I haven't checked to see if the settings are the same... The rest of both Studies is different...

Hello,

I have gone through the all the comments but am not sure if I am missing something for the Bull Begin/End verticle lines? I consider myself still a novice when it comes to the indicator game and am still getting a feel for what would work out for my style. However, I feel like on my chart they are lagging. Could I get another set of eyes to help me see what's could be wrong?

This is the code that is for that section for the Verticle Lines. I was pretty sure that copied and pasted it directly in, so it shouldn't have been edited in any way.

AddVerticalLine(show_vertical_lines and trendState[1] != 1 and trendState == 1, "Bull End", GlobalColor("LabelRed"));
AddVerticalLine(show_vertical_lines and trendState[1] != 2 and trendState == 2, "Bull Begin", GlobalColor("LabelGreen"));

I agree this study does not appear to provide anything constructive to your chart.
As I stated in the 1st post, it was something I was attempting to play with.
I found that I couldn't make it work w/ my strategies.
