$NYSI - McClellan Summation Index for ThinkorSwim

markos · Oct 15, 2019

Here's the McClellan Summation Index indicator for ThinkorSwim.

Code:

declare lower;

input exchange = {default NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX};
input fastLength = 19;
input slowLength = 39;
input ratioAdjusted = No;
input isCumulative = Yes;

def advances;
def declines;
switch (exchange) {
case NYSE:
    advances = close("$ADVN");
    declines = close("$DECN");
case NASDAQ:
    advances = close("$ADVN/Q");
    declines = close("$DECN/Q");
case AMEX:
    advances = close("$ADVA");
    declines = close("$DECA");
}
def breadth;
def neutral_level;
def over_bought;
def over_sold;

if (ratioAdjusted) {
    breadth = 1000 * (advances - declines) / (advances +
 declines);
    neutral_level = 0;
    over_bought = 500;
    over_sold = -500;
} else {
    breadth = advances - declines;
    neutral_level = 1000;
    over_bought = Double.NaN;
    over_sold = Double.NaN;
}

def emaFastCorr = ExpAverage(CompoundValue(1, if !IsNaN(breadth) then breadth else emaFastCorr[1], 0), fastLength);
def emaSlowCorr = ExpAverage(CompoundValue(1, if !IsNaN(breadth) then breadth else emaSlowCorr[1], 0), slowLength);
def mcClellanOsc = if !IsNaN(close) then emaFastCorr - emaSlowCorr else Double.NaN;
def mcClellanSummationIndex = mcClellanSummationIndex[1] + if !IsNaN(breadth) then mcClellanOsc else 0;

plot SummationIndex;
if IsNaN(close) {
    SummationIndex = Double.NaN;
} else if (isCumulative) {
    SummationIndex = neutral_level + mcClellanSummationIndex;
} else {
    SummationIndex = neutral_level + mcClellanOsc - (10 * emaFastCorr + 20 * emaSlowCorr);
}
plot OverBought = over_bought;
plot OverSold = over_sold;
plot NeutralLevel = neutral_level;

SummationIndex.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
OverBought.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
OverSold.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
NeutralLevel.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(7));

Bonus: ThinkorSwim also provides a list of different index indicators. You can find their ticker symbol below.

There is NO % Above or % Below ANY average. I have asked a programmer at TDA directly. For whatever reason, the answer is that they aren't easily able to do it.

$SPXA200R now works!

It's the % of stocks above the 200 day SMA.

$SPXA50R is, of course, the 50 day.

I have no idea which other ones work, unfortunately.

I'd like to use the MCCLELLAN OSCILLATOR FOR THE NASDAQ 100 but am unable to figure this out as the only options available through think or swim are the NASDAQ, NYSE, AND AMEX indexes for this indicator. I tried swapping NASDAQ with NASDAQ100 in the thinkscript to no avail. Does anyone know the thinkscript language/code for nasdaq100 index?

Joshua · Aug 19, 2021

You would need to replace $ADVN/Q and $DECN/Q with $ADVND and $DECLND.

Hey thanks for chiming in Joshua. The thinkscript for the McCllelan Oscillator in thinkorswim does not include $advn/q and/or $DECN/Q.

The oscillator code is based on the reference to the summation index, which is a separate study. I might be able to work it out for you later, but I'm about to head out. May I ask why you think you need the index specific breadth variants, rather than the base exchange variants, and why in McClellan format? Anyway, I'll check back in several hours.

I see where you are coming from now. So I would have to create 2 studies essentially: the first would be a variant of the summation indicator which properly includes the NDX, $ADVND and $DECLND, while the second would be a variant of the oscillator which would include and reference the NDX, which would now be properly included in the summation. I would greatly appreciate your efforts upon coming back from your whereabouts.

And to answer your question, as I understand it; I've chosen to work with indices since the standard as it pertains to these indicators, has been used with indices. But technically, it can actually be used with any basket of stocks I believe.

Hey it worked! Thanks so much. So instead of doing it in two steps, you did it in one by instead of referencing another indicator, including the various definitions within the thinkscript; is this correct? I'm trying to learn.

@vgt2101 The McClellan oscillator only uses the mcClellanOsc from the SummationIndex so I just took what I need from the SummationIndex and added the extra "exchange" and the advancer and decliner issues.

This line of code is from the oscillator and if you look closely at the end, it takes the mcClellanOsc plot from the McClellanSummationIndex indicator.

Code:

plot McClellanOsc = reference McClellanSummationIndex(exchange = exchange, "fast length" = fastLength, "slow length" = slowLength, "ratio adjusted" = ratioAdjusted).mcClellanOsc;

Code:

plot McClellanOsc = reference McClellanSummationIndex(exchange = exchange, "fast length" = fastLength, "slow length" = slowLength, "ratio adjusted" = ratioAdjusted).mcClellanOsc;

@generic I was just able to apply your teachings to 3 other indicators and it worked well (thanks again)! But I ran into issues when trying to add the nasdaq 100 (and other indices) to the AdvancedDeclineCumulativeAvg indicator in think or swim. Although another indicator is not referenced within the thinkscript of the AdvancedDeclineCumulativeAvg indicator, I went ahead and tried to find something in the advance/decline indicator to no avail. When you have a minute, do you mind pointing me to the right direction where adding the nasdaq-100 to the AdvancedDeclineCumulativeAvg indicator is concerned?

@generic I think I found it. It may be the Advance/Decline Line Daily part of the indicator that stems from the advance/decline indicator. Let me try this again and circle back

@generic I tried and failed. this is how far I got. error message is value never assigned to advndecl and level:

declare lower;

input exchange = {default NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, NQ_100};
input length = 252;

def advnDecnPctChg = 1000 * AdvanceDecline(type = "Advance/Decline Line (Daily)", exchange = exchange);
def cumAdvnDecn = cumAdvnDecn[1] + if !IsNaN(advnDecnPctChg) then advnDecnPctChg else 0;

input type = {default "Advance/Decline Line”, "Advance/Decline Line (Daily)"};

def advances;
def declines;
switch (exchange) {
case NYSE:
advances = close("$ADVN");
declines = close("$DECN");
case NASDAQ:
advances = close("$ADVN/Q");
declines = close("$DECN/Q");
case AMEX:
advances = close("$ADVA");
declines = close("$DECA”);
case NQ_100:
advances = close("$ADVND");
declines = close("$DECLND");
}

def advnDecl;
def level;
switch (type){
case "Advance/Decline Line (Daily)":
advnDecl = (advances - declines) / (advances + declines);
level = 0;
}

plot CumulAD = if !IsNaN(advnDecnPctChg) then cumAdvnDecn else Double.NaN;
plot AvgCumulAD = if !IsNaN(close) then Sum(if !IsNaN(CumulAD) then CumulAD else 0, length) / Sum(if !IsNaN(CumulAD) then 1 else 0, length) else Double.NaN;

CumulAD.DefineColor("Above", Color.UPTICK);
CumulAD.DefineColor("Below", Color.DOWNTICK);
CumulAD.AssignValueColor(if CumulAD > AvgCumulAD then CumulAD.Color("Above") else CumulAD.Color("Below"));
AvgCumulAD.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(7));

@vgt2101 You're missing a case for "Advance/Decline Line".

@generic - so that fixed the error message, but nothing plots when i choose nq_100. i get the correct plots for the other three original indices though.

@vgt2101 You can't pass NQ_100 to AdvanceDecline since NQ_100 isn't an option by default. Problem is starting from your fourth line. I don't have time to help rn, maybe some time tmr or someone else can tag in and fix it.

This should be it, you'll need to add which ever levels you want.

Ruby:

declare lower;
input fastLength = 19;
input slowLength = 39;
input ratioAdjusted = No;
def advances = close("$ADVND");
def declines = close("$DECLND");
def breadth;
if (ratioAdjusted) {
    breadth = 1000 * (advances - declines) / (advances + declines);
} else {
    breadth = advances - declines;
}
def emaFastCorr = ExpAverage(CompoundValue(1, if !IsNaN(breadth) then breadth else emaFastCorr[1], 0), fastLength);
def emaSlowCorr = ExpAverage(CompoundValue(1, if !IsNaN(breadth) then breadth else emaSlowCorr[1], 0), slowLength);
def mcClellanOsc = if !IsNaN(close) then emaFastCorr - emaSlowCorr else Double.NaN;
plot OutPut = mcClellanOsc;

@Joshua Hey thanks for circling back to me on this, but it doesn't work for adding the nasdaq-100 (or any other index) to the advancedeclinecumulativeaverage indicator in think or swim. I just got back from a long weekend and will try to work on the script that I sent to @generic last week thursday as he noted something I'll try to focus in on to get somewhere on this.
