Looking for Tape Momentum indicator

[SolidChiken]

Grateful if anyone has the tape momentum indicator. Find it might gives a good signal for both entry and exit when the spike goes up extremely

 

[Shinthus]

Are you interpreting this as "the green spike means to sell?" Because a huge downtrend occurred right after it.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

addChartLabel(!isTickChart,"THIS STUDY ONLY FOR USE ON TICK CHARTS",color.red);

Switch over to Tick charts or else it will not work. I found it here.

Following is what the article explains about the study:

It detects fast changes in the pace of the tape. The green bars are “extreme” spikes. When you get these extreme spikes it indicates an algo, HFT, or large institution is executing a huge order, and the pace of the tape is above average. When you get spikes around 600 or more, often they can indicate tops or bottoms.

 

[Shinthus]

That's sick! It's basically another type of market internal.

 

[SolidChiken]

Thank you @BenTen. Grateful...
Hmm... Now then realized this study requires Tick chart.
Gotta find out if it works for me.

I'm confused. I typed in "$TICK" and I don't see the study.

 

[markos]

@Shinthus it's not $tick but a Tick chart as in Bar or Candle chart.

 

[BenTen]

@Shinthus Click on your current timeframe and adjust it to this.

 

[BenTen]

@SolidChiken This indicator is fascinating. If you find any good examples of how to use it, please share. If you or @Shinthus or anyone for that matter don't want to use tick chart then replace the following code:

def momentum = if isTickChart then volume/deltaT else 0;;

with

def momentum = volume/deltaT;

Not sure if doing so would keep the same concept but worth experimenting.

 

[SolidChiken]

No words to express my gratitude to you @BenTen. I was in trouble earlier on about the Tick Chart. Your code helped me greatly. Thank you so much

Here's a version of tape speed I wrote a few years back

When "tape speed" is up, it can signal potential turnaround points (as the big guys load or unload), or sometimes the reinforcement of a trend as more people jump in.

The current version of this indicator will only work on tick charts and will not function properly on time based charts.

Additionally, it's not 100% real time, as it requires the close of the current bar to generate the calculation.

Let me know if you have questions.

This works on 5min quite well, but anything higher the signals are kinda off.
Doesn't work on Day chart. I think it would be great for futures ticks!

 

[Playstation]

Is it possible for the histograms to change colors on mobile?

 

[takiz1ma]

@SolidChiken hey bro can i tried your stochastic script indicator in the picture you posted above, I really like that you have both momentum and stochcross in one

 

[SolidChiken]

@takiz1ma I don't have the code. The screenshot was taken from a site. However, I took two studies from the TOS and made them look similar like above.

# TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2008-2020
# Stochastic Momentum Index

declare lower;

input over_bought = 40.0;
input over_sold = -40.0;
input percentDLength = 3;
input percentKLength = 5;

def min_low = lowest(low, percentKLength);
def max_high = highest(high, percentKLength);
def rel_diff = close - (max_high + min_low)/2;
def diff = max_high - min_low;

def avgrel = expaverage(expaverage(rel_diff, percentDLength), percentDLength);
def avgdiff = expaverage(expaverage(diff, percentDLength), percentDLength);

plot SMI = if avgdiff != 0 then avgrel / (avgdiff / 2) * 100 else 0;
smi.AssignValueColor(if smi > smi[1] then Color.green else Color.red);

plot AvgSMI = expaverage(smi, percentDLength);
avgsmi.setDefaultColor(Color.Dark_Gray);

plot overbought = over_bought;
overbought.setDefaultColor(Color.Dark_Red);
overbought.setStyle(curve.SHORT_DASH);

plot oversold = over_sold;
oversold.setDefaultColor(Color.Dark_Green);
oversold.setStyle(curve.SHORT_DASH);

plot UpSignal = if smi crosses above AvgSMI then smi else Double.NaN;
plot DownSignal = if smi crosses below AvgSMI then smi else Double.NaN;
UpSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
UpSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
UpSignal.SetLineWeight(2);
UpSignal.hideTitle();
DownSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.Dark_Orange);
DownSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);

[takiz1ma]

@SolidChiken Wow thanks i will be trying it out tonight

 

[maxthe300th]

Is there any Tape Reader thinkScript you guys know of?

 

[Tiredoflosing]

@maxthe300th that looks like the Shadowtrader.net tape reader script for TOS. i have been looking for something similar as well lol.

 

[Pelonsax]

@jeffquick It's wonderful! But, I loaded it and am only getting a signal during AH. Any tips on a fix? (See below)
