Hi dap711 i have been following you very closely and love what you are doing.. And would like to make sure i get the exact Macro Recorder you are using.. so i can better follow along.
I saw the one @Eugenis is using and appears to be Macro Recorder 2.0.82f Is this the one you use?
I have searched google and have found a ton of macro recorders and most do not look like the one you are suing. Is it possible you could give me the URL of the place where it is available.. I do not want to waste a lot of time studying the wrong one...I studied your video on setting up the Labels with the color. and love that idea. May you can give me some advice that would help me understand better..I am trying to keep it simple and so I am playing with the buy = RSI."RSI" crosses over the 30 and Sell when the RSI."RSI" crosses above the 70 that way it does not buy until it has stopped running around below 30 which in some cases can be a lot of time and selling as it crosses 70 so as not to hang on while it wanders around in the over 70 area.
As that could be a lot of time also. What i am playing with is having the Macron Recorder go in and set a conditional and fire it when the rsi crosses above the 30.. And in testing what i am seeing is it is turning on the buy button flickering when it gets close to ready to buy.. and i want to determine how i can make it stay solid from the first flicker until it actually send a rock solid buy signal then turn off the buy button....I am afraid my system may get confused and buy several times due to flicker... I had thought about when the buy signal hits.. load it up from a conditional order and not let it sell or buy for say the next hour.. That way if it drifts back down below the 30 after it has bought.. i just wait for say an hour for it to get some momentum on the way up and monitor to make sure the close is much better then they buy and then release the buy again.. I suppose i could wait for it to get about 1/2 way up the page before even giving it a chance to sell.. and so no way to sell while still down low.. as matter of fact if it does drift down it cannot sell anyway as its waiting for the rsi 70. Any thoughts on my idea.. Feel free to call me a dumbshit if needed as i do not want to get in dangerous territory...Thank you so much for doing this for us slower folks. I have been working this idea a long time and was held up trying to find a way to get Thinkscript to talk to my 3rd party software that can handle the dirty work thinkscript won't do.. to complete the round trips...I was trying to get thinkscript to send a 1,2,or 3 to a text file for buy sale close, but have not been able to do that. I know thinkscript can talk to excell and i could put the number code for the job in excell and have my 3rd party software check the file each 30 seconds or faster then have pythong build the conditional and fire it off at the correct times... but than i came across your idea of lettting thinkscript write and label with distinct colors to represent the jobs to be accomplished and i like that better.. Just too bad thinkscript cannot just interact with the file system to write a few simple numbers as needed.
Thanks for any suggestions you might offer..

Hi tommytx,

I purchased a license for Macro Recorder Pro .. and the version I have installed is 3.0.51
I don't know what the current version is, but you can download it from here: Macro Recorder
RSI may not be the best indicator for your use case. Not unless you smoothed it, but then it would lag to much. Take a look at my volume pressure indicator. I think it would fit much better.

If you have any experience with Python, using the TOS API is a much better way to trade using custom code. You can get help with the API coding here: Python API
