Moving Average Golden Cross - Death Cross For ThinkOrSwim

New member
I have a idea that i been working of or awhile. Everyone knows about golden crosses and death crosses (crossing of 50 SMA and the 200 SMA). I would like to have a code that plots the 2 SMA's lines on the chart. Also painting the bars red for down for death cross, paint bar green for golden cross. I would also like to have an arrow with the words paint on the chart (death cross or golden cross). I would also like to have label boxes that will color green after a golden cross and red after death cross. I would like the boxes to change colors based upon the last cross.

Hi, is this what you had in mind? I added options to hide the labels or arrows if you want.

input avgtype = AverageType.SIMPLE;

    plot return = barssince;
}

plot fastma = MovingAverage(avgtype, src, fast);
plot slowma = MovingAverage(avgtype, src, slow);

fastma.setdefaultcolor(color.light_green);

This script is an alert for the daily chart. It will show you when a golden cross or death cross has been activated. It has two alerts and an adjustable feature on each.



# Death Cross and Golden Cross Text Alert
# Daily Chart

input ema50Length = 50;
input ema200Length = 200;

def ema50 = ExpAverage(close, ema50Length);
def ema200 = ExpAverage(close, ema200Length);

def isDeathCross = if ema50 < ema200 and ema50[1] >= ema200[1] then 1 else 0;
def isGoldenCross = if ema50 > ema200 and ema50[1] <= ema200[1] then 1 else 0;

AddLabel(isDeathCross == 1, "Death Cross", Color.RED);
AddLabel(isGoldenCross == 1, "Golden Cross", Color.GREEN);

Alert(isDeathCross == 1, "Death Cross", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
Alert(isGoldenCross == 1, "Golden Cross", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
 
I created a bunch of labels for your indicator.

the script works but the way TOS renders data not all aggregation periods work on the 1 minute charts.

Edit: A work around I found to work is to great smaller grids for the 1hr & 1day labels.


This layout of mine is why I created this label study.

Thanks, I wanted chartbubble on the price candle not the addlabel with the price. Can you add chartbubble on the price candle where the golden cross occurs?

You've set me down a rabbit hole. I've updated some scripts,created new ones because of this thread.


I've now got a custom death cross moving average study that uses the Triangle Moving average.

https://tos.mx/MZHbJaX'



Idea is to wait until the candles cross through & up the red plot line and then sell before it goes through and below the plot line that turned green. Use the 20m chart.

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/command-center-for-thinkorswim-trading.16100/

Use this flex chart for a command like setup to tell you how much money you'll lose or gain depending on how much budget money you've configured the center labels to.

The cyan label tells you how much you'll gain or lose if you sell at the triangle moving average plot line.

@majidg try this version I just modified as I was also wanting the bubbles on the candle itself.

Notes:

  • Added bubbles to price bars with same price value as gold/death cross points
  • Removed arrow indicators as they interfere with bubbles on price bars
  • Changed the color scheme to be ToS uptick/downtick/current as it's easier on the eyes
  • Added an alert ding for the crossup and crossdn events

Many thanks to @Chemmy for creating the original and @Trader4TOS for the updates.

Slight update: I realized the price bubble was showing the incorrect (slowma) price and the color scheme was conflicting/causing confusion if you have other indicators activated.

Code:
## Gold and Death Cross indicator
## Coded by Chemmy at usethinkscript.com
## Modified by Falkkor at usethinkscript.com
##

input src = close;
input fast = 50;
input slow = 200;
input avgtype = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input color_bars = yes;
input show_bubbles = yes;

def bn = barnumber();

script barssince {
input Condition = 0;
def barssince = if Condition then 1 else barssince[1] + 1;
plot return = barssince;
}

plot fastma = MovingAverage(avgtype, src, fast);
plot slowma = MovingAverage(avgtype, src, slow);

fastma.setdefaultcolor(color.CYAN);
slowma.setdefaultcolor(color.YELLOW);

assignpricecolor(if color_bars then (if fastma>=slowma then color.LIGHT_ORANGE else color.DARK_ORANGE) else color.CURRENT);

def crossup = fastma crosses above slowma;
def crossdn = fastma crosses below slowma;

def uplabel = if show_bubbles and crossup then slowma else double.nan;
def dnlabel = if show_bubbles and crossdn then slowma else double.nan;

AddChartBubble(crossup, uplabel, "Gold Cross", Color.LIGHT_ORANGE, no);
AddChartBubble(crossdn, dnlabel, "Death Cross", Color.DARK_ORANGE, no);

def crossup_price = if show_bubbles and crossup then slowma else double.nan;
def crossdn_price = if show_bubbles and crossdn then slowma else double.nan;

AddChartBubble(show_bubbles and crossup, low, "Buy@" + close, Color.LIGHT_ORANGE, no);
AddChartBubble(show_bubbles and crossdn, high, "Sell@" + close, Color.DARK_ORANGE, yes);

addlabel(
yes,
if fastma >= slowma then "Gold Cross " + barssince(crossup) + " Bars Ago" else if fastma < slowma then "Death Cross " + barssince(crossdn) + " Bars Ago" else "",
if fastma >= slowma then color.LIGHT_ORANGE else if fastma < slowma then color.DARK_ORANGE else color.CURRENT
);

Alert(crossup, "Gold Cross", Alert.BAR, Sound.DING);
Alert(crossdn, "Death Cross", Alert.BAR, Sound.DING);

# END CODE
