Relative Strength RP Labels For ThinkOrSwim

@boatshoes
I didn't create the logic for this study (my specialty is putting the lipstick on the pig) :)
If you look at the first post in this thread, you will find how the movement is defined.
According to this study, technology has been down down down for quite a while now... And look there is staples slowly rising...

i am still encountering movement from Nick's scripts/indicators, unquestionable scan results. With more live market data, hope has stood aside.

Here's a scan for hunting for either Bullish or Bearish relative performance (strength).

# Written by Nick 03/03/22

#Change the Input parameters to your liking and in the Plot section, either hash (#) or
# unhash the plot that you want to scan for, either Bull or Bear.

#Inputs
input ComparionSymbol = "SPY";
input AvgType = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input Price = FundamentalType.CLOSE;
input STMALength = 5;
input LTMALength = 21;

#Definitions
def SymbolPrc = Fundamental(Price);
def ComparisonPrc = Fundamental(Price, ComparionSymbol);
def STMA = MovingAverage(AvgType, SymbolPrc / ComparisonPrc, STMALength);
def LTMA = MovingAverage(AvgType, SymbolPrc / ComparisonPrc, LTMALength);
def MABull = STMA > LTMA;
def MABear = STMA <= LTMA;

#Plots for Scans
plot BullRP = if MABull then 1 else 0;
#plot BearRP = if MABear then 1 else 0;
Nick, I appreciate your code. I used one for the BearRP and deleted the line with the Bull RP but nothing shows up. I included in my scan that the Condition result has to be less than. I also tried the script leaving only the Bull in with a greater than. I then changed to a shower MA period to see if anything comes up...similar results. Did I made a mistake? Thanks

Tech Guy, I don't think that what you did should have affected the scan results.
Using the Daily aggregation period and the SP500 watchlist, I used the scan in this post and # out the BearRP and I received 265 results. Then, I changed the BearRP to only < and # out the BullRP and it returned 235 results. So, the scan works because total results were 500.
Thanks for your appreciation and good luck.

Thanks Nick. I just had to use "Value" in the criteria with the "Aggregation" rather than an greater than, less than, etc. I added this script to a few other "filters" to get something more like I was looking for. But, I may change these criteria based on results I get over the next week.
