Hi Everyone,

I took a pass at the port of this indicator, looks interesting. the source behaves slightly different from the TC2000 and Trade view. I attempted to reconcile the code base in this thinkscript port.

I also enhanced it with an optional visual of the Ergodic Indicator that can help further spot and validate the wave in the trend.

Please review and backtest and let us know if you all find a good pattern or trading strategy leveraging this indicator or pairing it up with others.

Good job!
How can I use this study in a scanner?
I know how to add it as a filter but cannot figure out how to set the condition, I guess it should be the color change?

Thanks @diazlaz for your great help in posting some good indicators. I am fairly new to the thinkscript and looking to learn understanding the scripts. I tried pulling up this indicator on TOS but fail to understand when should be the entry for calls or puts. Can someone shed some light on how to use this indicator for trading.. Thanks in advance.
 
Have been playing around with this but am having some trouble understanding what causes a candle to plot dark blue or yellow. My (limited!) understanding of the code was that I should be looking for dark green entry candles but they seem to be plotting blue, at least for longs. Nothing is plotting dark green except shorts. What am I missing in the code to explain blue and yellow candles?
 
Hi @diazlaz can you help us understand more on this. We are assuming or deriving lot due to lack of info. It would be great if you could share more info on this. Thanks in advance
 
@hellocucen, are you still playing around with this? I've had success with what I believe is the orange dot portion of the indicator. My win rate with it on stocks is 100% (4 of 4 trades) and 87% on futures (6 of 7 trades) trading off a daily chart. That's not a lot of trades but the results make it worth watching. I'm still trying to get it to plot as dots but can't figure out my coding error. If you haven't seen it, here's a more recent video than the one posted above. Happy trading!

Can you share the code for the orange dot? Thank you.
 
good job, thanks for share with us.. do you have the indicator with the dot? will be nice. thank you once again
 
Backtesting this, it doesn't look too good on several time frames... no where close to 70% trade efficiency as he mentions in his YouTube video

Hey guys, I have been trying to modify this indicator to show Dots only and not paint the price. I am stuck on the Ergodic section at very bottom of code. Line 72 through 74. Here is the mod I have so far, can anyone help me get the final piece to work?
Thank you in advance

Is this what you are looking to do, @Break Trader ? If so then you were close. You had an un-referenced variable D in your plot statements unless you want to include the part of my code for the 5 day low placement. Wasn't sure so I just made it candle low for this case. Each plot needs it's own name as well as in the line descriptions, plus Points instead of Horizontal. Keep chugging at coding, I'm learning by trial and error. :)

Code: 
# Break Trader add in

plot Pdot = if isPurpleDot then low else Double.NaN;
Pdot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Points);
Pdot.SetLineWeight(2);
Pdot.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);

plot Odot = if isOrangeDot then low else Double.NaN;
Odot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Points);
Odot.SetLineWeight(2);
Odot.SetDefaultColor(color.Orange);

plot Gdot = if isGreenDot then low else Double.NaN;
Gdot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Points);
Gdot.SetLineWeight(2);
Gdot.SetDefaultColor(Color.DARK_GREEN);

plot ErgoUp = if colorErgodic and ErgodiIndicator >= 0 then low else Double.NaN;
ErgoUp.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Points);
ErgoUp.SetLineWeight(2);
ErgoUp.SetDefaultColor(Color.Uptick);

plot ErgoDn = if colorErgodic and ErgodiIndicator <= 0 then low else Double.NaN;
ErgoDn.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Points);
ErgoDn.SetLineWeight(2);
ErgoDn.SetDefaultColor(Color.Downtick);

edit: corrected <= error

@RickAns Dam, that seems to work perfectly, ill test it during the week as the PGO has been discovered by me over the weekend, I just couldn't stand the painted price, yes i was trying to put in the 5 day low like on your Geren dot indicator as i know that indicator has been working pretty well even though the market is not playing nice and im not really buying much but looking at the history we can see its pretty accurate
Thank you for your help im sure other will appreciate it also, no disrespect to @diazlaz without you we wouldnt be here and your PGO indicator seems to work fine, just a preference on visuals for me.
Thank you to all in this community
 
@Break Trader I made an error in my copy / paste above.

The line with
plot ErgoDn = if colorErgodic and ErgodiIndicator >= 0 then low else Double.NaN;

it should be
<= 0

Oops :oops:

Hello! Do you mind if you can share link or your orange dot indicator thank you
 
plot ErgoUp = if colorErgodic and ErgodiIndicator >= 0 then low else Double.NaN;


plot ErgoDn = if colorErgodic and ErgodiIndicator <= 0 then low else Double.NaN;

If both ERGOUP & ERGODn = 0 then what happens?

You can't have it both ways
