MTF CCI Dashboard

Hi all,

I created a MTF lower indicator for the CCI.

It works exactly as intended, but kindly requesting assistance with two slight modifications to the existing code:
  1. How can I condense the spacing between each row of dots? Even if I resize the lower window in ToS there still seems to be a limit of how closely I can squish the dots together.
  2. I'd like the indicator title (circled in blue) to be red if all three lines of dots are red, and green if all three lines of dots are green.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Code: 
#MTF_CCI_LowerStudy_Dots
# gravityflyer
# v1.0 - 2021.09.23

declare lower;

input timeFrameOne = AggregationPeriod.TWO_MIN;
input timeFrameTwo = AggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN;
input timeFrameThree = AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN;

input length = 14;

#CCI Two Minutes
def priceTWO_MIN = close(period = timeFrameOne) + low(period = timeFrameOne) + high(period = timeFrameOne);
def linDev2 = lindev(priceTWO_MIN, length);
def CCI_2 = if linDev2 == 0 then 0 else (priceTWO_MIN - Average(priceTWO_MIN, length)) / linDev2 / 0.015;

#CCI Five Minutes
def priceFIVE_MIN = close(period = timeFrameTwo) + low(period = timeFrameTwo) + high(period = timeFrameTwo);
def linDev5 = lindev(priceFIVE_MIN, length);
def CCI_5 = if linDev5 == 0 then 0 else (priceFIVE_MIN - Average(priceFIVE_MIN, length)) / linDev5 / 0.015;

#CCI Fifteen Minutes
def priceFIFTEEN_MIN = close(period = timeFrameThree) + low(period = timeFrameThree) + high(period = timeFrameThree);
def linDev15 = lindev(priceFIFTEEN_MIN, length);
def CCI_15 = if linDev15 == 0 then 0 else (priceFIFTEEN_MIN - Average(priceFIFTEEN_MIN, length)) / linDev15 / 0.015;

#Row 1
plot rowOne = if IsNaN(close) then Double.NaN else 1;
rowOne.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
rowOne.AssignValueColor(if CCI_2 > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
rowOne.SetLineWeight(3);

#Row 2
plot rowTwo = if IsNaN(close) then Double.NaN else 2;
rowTwo.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
rowTwo.AssignValueColor(if CCI_5 > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
rowTwo.SetLineWeight(3);

#Row 3
plot rowThree = if IsNaN(close) then Double.NaN else 3;
rowThree.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
rowThree.AssignValueColor(if CCI_15 > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
rowThree.SetLineWeight(3);

Your dashboard is a graph.
You are graphing each set of dots on row 1, 2, and 3.
If you wanted them closer on the graph you could try plotting them closer together. row: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 You can go even closer.
There is a minimum size that each lower chart takes up though. You can't make the lower study smaller than the min.size

@gravityflyer I forgot. Important: to push the lines closer together you need to add a top and bottom plot.
Otherwise, the plots will always attempt to be equidistant to the size of the minimum lower chart size.
For example the top and bottom plots of:
plot nine = nine ;
plot minus3 = -3.0 ;
Click to expand...
Will push all your rows close together in the middle of the graph.
plot six = six;
plot zero= -5 ;
Click to expand...
Will push your dashboard to the top of the lower chart.

You might be able to get away with something closer together depending on the values of your plots. You have to play with it until you get the look you want.

I made several revisions to my indicator including an overbought/oversold line and a buy/sell trigger.

Two follow-up questions/issues,
  1. For my buy/sell trigger I'd like the first instance to print a triangle, with each subsequent instance printing a dot. Unfortunately it appears that the first two instances print a triangle. See image. I'm assuming there is an error in my script? I'd obviously just like the first triangle only.
  2. I'm not sure if created the spacers correctly as you suggested? Created lines at 2 and -2 with Hide() since it otherwise plotted a line, but it seems to have quite literally hide the line rather than transparent? I experimented with hideBubble() but that didn't seem to work either?
Thank you!

It looks like you must be using a 1m chart, because a 2m chart only prints 1 triangle. The problem of the 2 triangles is that your lowest agg is 2m for your dots/triangles causing TOS to print 2 triangles on a 1m chart, as both values being assigned were the same, one (1).

To workaround that, here is one way that should work hopefully. Basically you need to give the first instance of the 2 triangles a value on the 1m chart that is different than the second, which was done with barnumber() in the code below.

Also, note the black background used in the picture is then used as the color for the spacer lines. That method of coloring the lines the same color as the background is about the only way I know to hide those lines as you need them to plot to be used as spacers.

Add this to the bottom of your script:
# Alert
Alert(b, "mtfCCI", Alert.Bar, Sound.ding);

No, this can not be made into a watchlist. It also can't be used in a scanner or conditional order or any other ToS widget.

On the ToS platform, MTF scripts can only be to create plots on a chart.
