Moving Average Crossovers For ThinkOrSwim

[Stockmarker]

Dear Team,
I would like to setup this study in TOS app, if any candle stick (D-5mins,10min,15 minutes / Day within 1 bar) cross above, cross below or touch 100 SMA, need to get alert. Can you pls. help me to setup this indicator?

Thanks in advanced!

@Stockmarker Price crossing above and below a moving average or two moving averages crossing each other?

Thanks Ben for the quick response.

Just to add : When I talk about last candle stick in the given time frame, should consider Wicks also. Thank you !

Example (To get more clarity) : If my last red candle stick open @ 50 $ and close @ 40 $ and High wick touched 60$ and low wick touched 30$.
if I setup this alert, should consider low and high wicks and not the open and close prices.

@Stockmarker Now you're kinda confusing me lol. What exactly are you trying to scan for? When price crossing above the 100 SMA? Or another moving average crossing above/below the 100 SMA?

Sorry Ben for the confusion... My requirement is to alert when the last candle stick (Irrespective of low,high,open or close price of the last candle stick bar ) cross above or cross below or touch the SMA 100.

@Stockmarker See if this works for you. Add this as a condition in your scanner. No need for any custom script.

Here is an example: close crosses above the 100 SMA. You have the option to choose between close, open, high, low, etc.

Can we change 5ema to legacy ema thanks ?

 

[MerryDay]

@Drmoh1800 yes, you can copy the definition of your legacy ema from the other study that you were pointed to, into this study

I'm looking to create a scanner to help with a scalp strategy. I need the scanner to pick up stocks that the xxx SMA crossed above the xxx SMA, easy enough, but I'm looking to find a way that it will scan for that condition within the last xxx bars.... So, example would be the 20 SMA crossed above the 50 SMA within the last 3 bars on a 5 min chart. Is this possible?

 

[BenTen]

@darkelvis Get the indicator from this post and then watch the video from this thread.

Hey @BenTen . Can you possibly edit the code on this so we can customize and choose the color of the cloud?

 

[BenTen]

@JaeTrades Pay attention to the bottom of your script, specifically the following line:

AddCloud(FastMA, SlowMA, Color.GREEN, Color.RED);

You can customize that to change the color.

How create on TOS an alert when there Golden Cross or Death Cross. And how do a scan for the same GC, DC?

Thanks

@wilmanv Just change the lengths to 50 and 200.

@wilmanv Just change the lengths to 50 and 200.

Hey guys newbie here looking for some help with the following idea:
8 EMA crossover of 20 SMA and vice versa
Dumb question: but the 8 and 20 only represent "periods" so that script could be applied to any timeframe, correct?

Also, how do I go about applying that script to a list of tickers/index?

Thanks!

@Andygray8

• Yes, the 8 and 20 only represent "periods" so the script can be applied to any timeframe
• a 'list' is called a watchlist in TOS. Here is a link to a moving average crossover watchlist:

FYI, the search function for this forum is awesome.

Hi MerryDay, I was able to set up my desired 8EMA/20SMA crossover study on a chart. And I believe I did it correctly trying to upload it to one of my watchlists in the "Scan" tab. Question: I saw one of BenTen's posts about creating a column to notify of a crossover in the watchlist. Is there a place where just that piece of script exists? I wasn't able to decipher to pick it out of one of his posts here: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/moving-average-crossover-watchlist-column-for-thinkorswim.119/

Any pointers here? Thanks!

 

[MerryDay]

@Andygray8 It sounds like the watchlist that you reference in your post should work for you.
What problem are you having w/ it?

 

[Andygray8]

Went to the Scan tab, uploaded the custom crossover study and loaded up my watchlist and hit the Scan button. All the stocks in the watchlist popped up. I tried changing timeframes from daily, to 1 hr to 10min etc and nothing seemed to happen. Don't I need to enter more in the script to get the columns to show up? I used the script posted by jay2 second comment down here: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...rossover-cloud-with-scan-for-thinkorswim.229/

 

[BenTen]

@Andygray8 You need to set up a scanner first. Then, save that scanner as a watchlist and select the following option: Alert when scan results change...
