Ochoa's Candlestick Reversal System for ThinkorSwim

[BenTen]

This indicator consists of different candlestick patterns and reversal system, as explained by Franklin Ochoa in his book.

• Wick Reversal System
• Extreme Reversal System
• Outside Reversal System
• Doji Reversal System

I included the ability to turn off any of the reversal signals above within the indicator's setting. You can use this with the ToS scanner as well.

Note: I could not incorporate the wick reversal system, so it's not part of the script. Credit goes to the original developer LonesomeTheBlue from TradingView.

@BenTen, you present us with so many interesting scripts. Thank you for all your time!

 

[AryanP]

Does this repaint?

 

[YungTraderFromMontana]

Does this repaint?

no, candle close and signal is given

 

[AryanP]

no, candle close and signal is given

Wow. The signals seem very accurate so I thought they repaint if it goes against the signal.

Thanks Ben. What would the script look as a scan. And is there a way to add an alert for these reversals in the tos script above? And is there an alert which could be generated on a watchlist column also? Thank you

Think I figured it out:

I added these to the original script above.....alert(bearish_doji, “BEARISH DOJI”, alert.bar, sound.ring);.....etc.

For scan I used the study and made the condition is true for each one...but since scans are realtime I don't expect to see any results of the scan until opening bell. My time frame is set to Day.

Thank you

@ssagar1212 I am not sure what you are asking? You would set up your scan for the exact same variables that you set up your alerts on.
So if you are alerting on bearish_doji, you scan for bearish_doji. If you want to scan for all the bearish or bullish triggers then you put all the bearish or bullish variables in your scan. Make sure to click on the "any" button. That tells the scanner, that you want to filter if any of the conditions exist.
(change "A0_Example()" to whatever you named your study).
After you save your scan. You open a watchlist with the name of your scan. Be aware there is a 3-7min lag in watchlist updates. It is a TOS limitation there is no workaround.
HTH

Thank you MerryDay....done....I forgot about the lag hehe

i tend to buy from stocks in my watchlist, i don't scan.
if you prefer to scan for results, do what merryday posted about above.

here is a version of the original as a column study
cucandlerev02
http://tos.mx/Lz6Kk1F
( i start my custom column studies with cu ...)

i assigned numbers 1-6 , to the 6 possible outputs, so a sorted column would group them in an order, that i thought was correct.
"1 /\ Ext"
"2 /\ Out"
"3 /\ Doj"
"4 \/ Doj"
"5 \/ Out"
"6 \/ Ext"

this is the code i added to original

# add code for column --------------------------------------
# disable plots
# copy plots and convert to def
def bullish_extreme = if extreme_reversal then Elongsignal else double.nan;
def bearish_extreme = if extreme_reversal then Eshortsignal else double.nan;

def bullish_doji = if doji_reversal then Dlongsignal else double.nan;
def bearish_doji = if doji_reversal then Dshortsignal else double.nan;

# color vars
# extreme  cyan
def ext = (bullish_extreme or bearish_extreme);
# outside  magenta
def out = (bullish_outside or bearish_outside);
# doji  yellow
def doj = (bullish_doji or bearish_doji);

addlabel(yes,
if bullish_extreme then "1 /\ Ext"
else if bearish_extreme then "6 \/ Ext"
else if bullish_outside then "2 /\ Out"
else if bearish_outside then "5 \/ Out"
else if bullish_doji then "3 /\ Doj"
else if bearish_doji then "4 \/ Doj"
else "9 ---", color.black);

assignbackgroundcolor(if ext then color.cyan else if out then color.magenta else if doj then color.yellow else color.dark_gray);

Wow....Awesome....thank you so much Halcyonguy....much appreciated!!

excuse me , what do you mean by

if bullish_extreme then "1 /\ Ext"
else if bearish_extreme then "6 \/ Ext"
else if bullish_outside then "2 /\ Out"
else if bearish_outside then "5 \/ Out"
else if bullish_doji then "3 /\ Doj"
else if bearish_doji then "4 \/ Doj"

can explain the number and sign
