PSAR Transition Indicator for ThinkorSwim

This study looks for a PSAR state transition (either from bullish to bearish or vice versa) and plots a horizontal price line into the expansion area.
If the state transition already triggered, it calculates the number of bars ago the event happened. I've included labels, alerts as well as chart bubbles.
As of this moment if you load a daily chart of GS, you'll see a state transition TODAY!

Here is the code

one more thing, the current most PSAR state regardless of bullish/bearish is displaying red dots - searching for where to assign colors based on above/below dot position in the code

Replace this code

Ruby:
parSAR.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

With

Ruby:
parSAR.AssignValueColor(if state == state.short then Color.RED else Color.GREEN);
 
unfortunately didn't work, not sure why

not to belabor the point, no worries, appreciate the help. The dot color isn't the deciding crux of profitability :) I've disabled bar color painting, chart bubble and alerts, the label is all I needed, the dots are fine as it is
 
how do I edit the code to get rid of the pink text bubble on the chart?
You can comment out (put a hashtag in front of) the 2nd to last line of code to "get rid of the pink text bubble on the chart"
change:
Rich (BB code):
AddChartBubble(bar == HighestAll(timeAxis+offSet), transitionPrice, "PSAR\nTransitioned", Color.Pink);
to this:
Rich (BB code):
#AddChartBubble(bar == HighestAll(timeAxis+offSet), transitionPrice, "PSAR\nTransitioned", Color.Pink);
 
Well, I finally got this to work. I placed bubbles and labels with a win loss percentages based upon the candle count and pars crossover. I put marker lines in to make it easier to review instead of looking for the up signals. I also placed an active price line and previous close marker on the bars to make finding support and resistance easier when marking up a chart. I created a HighLine as well as a LowLine for better functionality of the script. http://tos.mx/nOc6qox

Hopefully this helps others with their trading. You can turn on and off the various settings as desired. http://tos.mx/nOc6qox

 
I just left it at the factory settings. If you desire it to give you more signals that adjust the acceleration factor only unless you desire to increase the factor greater than two. Here is a tip just go in to the acceleration factor and change it to .002 and see the results. In effect with this indicator the lower the acceleration factor the more accurate it will be. It is up to you as to what your trading styles are. The candle count settings can be adjusted to find the highest settings or lowest settings to give you the best percentages. If I am looking for options I set the candle count to 7,12,21 and then adjust the acceleration factor to a little faster to give me a predictive alert and make that decision based upon the overall trend of the symbol. I actually have the majority of the PSAR settings turned off and just view the overall trend and support and resistance for the swing. I just used this indicator as an experiment to create the bubbles and count along with the percentages. I knew once I accomplished this in a more complex indicator that I would be able to do it in about any setup that I desire. I hope that helps.

Can someone help me to get a horizontal line from the last bearish dot and continue until until the start of the next bearish dot?
 
Here it is in the original code in post #1 that I modified it in. Perhaps you did not comment out (#) the code or delete it that was to be replaced in the post above.
Can you add an input for having a horizontal line at the last bearish dot that will continue until the next bearish dot and then start over once the chart has changed back to bearish from bullish.
 
Can you add an input for having a horizontal line at the last bearish dot that will continue until the next bearish dot and then start over once the chart has changed back to bearish from bullish.

Since the last bearish dot woud denote a green long, this horizontal line is called linebull. Include is a red short horizontal controlled at the input.

All other inputs have been set to no so you can see the green lines with heiken ashi candles on the following image.
