Mimicking "Power X Strategy" by Markus Heitkoetter

@cos251:

I tried to create a scan with the study code of post #151. But, I am getting an error message.
"Script.Runtime. ToolComplexException. The complexity of the expression that it may not be reliable with real-time data. "

How can I generate a scan from your latest script providing me the stocks with a Long Signal (changing from downtrend to uptrend)?

That's pretty self-explanatory... I haven't looked into the code provided in this topic but that error is usually generated when there is recursion or excessive moving averages or other functions that increase complexity that slows or overwhelms the scanner... Many studies require gutting excess code in order to have scans work properly... Remember, scans don't display anything on a chart, and only return one result, so any excess code doesn't need to be in a scan...

Good question. I was actually thinking about creating a scan only version of the script. There is one I posted on this thread already but it also included all the other code. I'll clean up a version and post it for scan use. Hopefully this weekend.

First off Amazing work @cos251 and thank you for putting in the work! I do have a quick question, how can I add an arrow to indicate when the bars are gray? For me keeping the bars clean helps me with my strategy so I have Red and Green arrows turned on for your script so I know when the market is in up trend or down but since I don't have color to my bars it would help me to see when the market is turning "choppy" or sideways.

Thank you so much once again

Hi. I will include that as an option for upcoming updates.

Nice bit of coding, cos251. Thanks.

Here is my crude attempt at a label for the Target / Loss as mentioned in the .pdf

# Average Daily Range
def ADR = Average(High(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY) - Low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY), 7);

AddLabel(yes, "Profit Target = +" +ADR * 3+ "", color.GREEN);
AddLabel(yes, " : Stop Loss =  -" +ADR * 1.5+ "", color.PINK);
AddLabel(yes, " : ADR daily = " +ADR+ "", color.GRAY);

plot ADRa = ADR; # uncheckmark the box in settings to hide this.

updated 11-29-20 below to show price as well. This is a label for the points of the current day.

def ADR = Average(High(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY) - Low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY), 7);

AddLabel(yes, "Profit_X Target = +" +ADR * 3+ "", color.GREEN);
AddLabel(yes, "(" +(close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY) + (ADR * 3))+ ")", color.GREEN);
AddLabel(yes, " : Stop_X Loss = -" +ADR * 1.5+ "", color.Pink);
AddLabel(yes, "(" +(close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY) - (ADR * 1.5))+ ")", color.Pink);
#AddLabel(yes, " : ADR_X daily = " +ADR+ "", color.GRAY);


#plot ADRa = ADR; # uncheckmark in settings to hide

Hi RickAns,
I appreciate the profit target label. One question, however, does the price target update after each day once the signal has been given?

Hi. I will include that as an option for upcoming updates.

@cos251 i figured it out so dont waste ur time on my previous request bud, I still appreciate the reply, and humbly thank you for your time and efforts

 

[newbie19760123]

Hi @newbie19760123 - sure thing. Just to make sure you are referring to the Ready Aim Fire replica we have going in thread you linked to correct?

@cos251 Yes, The Ready Aim Fire Replica. I had been using your fvo_Daily_4Grid import from before. I was wondering if you can share the latest in grid form. Thanks again for the reply. Really appreciate it. Yes, the other thread is locked for some reason.

 

[RickAns]

@andre.muhammad - Yes, the label does update each day. I do not know (yet) how to set it so it displays only the data for the day the buy / sell signal is generated. I am trying to figure that out. When I do I will update things. Thanks.

 

[andre.muhammad]

@RickAns Thank you for your work on this....I am appreciative of what you have already brought forth! Cheers!

 

[rogtrader]

@rogtrader , Thx! Please see post #126 for setup.

Hi Sree,

Well, I’m asking for the code of Sree_Markus_Cleanedup_Version.

Thanks

We are not allowed to share that any longer per site administrator. Sorry.

Hi all,
I have been trying to figure out how to scan for the beginning of the green or red blocks. Does anyone have a way to do so?

You can use this to scan for now.

[andre.muhammad]

Yes, I tried that scan and they did not identify the beginning of green or red clouded blocks.

 

[cos251]

Yes, I tried that scan and they did not identify the beginning of green or red clouded blocks.

Got it. I'll send you the code to add that finds the beginning in a bit.

 

[cos251]

Sorry for the delay. The following code can be used for SCANS
Available PLOTS are as follows:

1. UpTrend - Scan for underlying currently in up trend
2. DownTrend - Scan for underlying currently in down trend
3. UpTrendJustStarted - Scan for underlying that just started up trend - will be first bar of given TF
4. DownTrendJustStarted - Scan for underlying that just started down trend- will be first bar of given TF

You'll want to scan for "True" or "False" conditions.
You can also scan for underlyings that are not in either trend by scanning for both false conditions (up & down trends)

Feel free to tweak or let me know if you would like me to add additional plots. I've tested all plots on multiple timeframes for accuracy, let me know if you find any issues.

Lastly, I recommend using the default RSI, Stochastic and MACD studies for scans involving only those indicators for efficiency of scanning.

This chain started has been nothing short of miracle. However, with expert coders and chartist we need a summary now. Can someone sum up which code to use as final agreed one & which all indicator and it setting we must employ for best results. This summary will be very helpful for all the advanced investors (traders) and/or newbees.

Thanks a lot for the Scan. It works perfectly. I have scanned for the Uptrend signal and went through all the scan results. I found that you programmed in such a way that the signal is mostly triggered when a grey bar is followed with a green bar. In this way, the long signal comes quite late and also provides a few false signals. I would like to have the option to get the long signal when the first grey or green bar appears after a series of red bars.

@cos251 It's funny, but I was able to get the older versions to work too. It appears that I had to make some changes to the settings. I'm learning. Thanks for the hard work on this, as I have incorporated the three targets chart.
