Ripster Clouds For ThinkOrSwim

Join useThinkScript to post your question to a community of 21,000+ developers and traders.

Do you replace anything in the code or just add to it ? I don’t know how to code but I’m going to figure this out
These three lines were used to replace one line in the initial / original post. The third is the addCloud line, changed to use global colors (defined in lines 1 and 2 of this snippet). You need to take out the original line and add these three to make it work.

Good evening,

I was wondering if it would be possible to make this coding

into being able to change the colors of the MTF clouds to being able to distinguish between the higher time frames such as following:

If by default, the 50 ema cloud for the 1hr (which is the higher time frame while we are looking at a 10 minute chart) is set to default as cyan, allow us to choose the color of each EMA cloud in relation to the time frame that we want adjusted.

Ruby:
input price = close;
input displace = 0;
input length1 = 50;
input length2 = 55;
input length3 = 20;
input length4 = 21;
input period = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input averageType = AverageType.Exponential;

def MA1 = MovingAverage(averageType, close(period = period) [-displace], length = length1);
def MA2 = MovingAverage(averageType, close(period = period) [-displace], length = length2);
def MA3 = MovingAverage(averageType, close(period = period) [-displace], length = length3);
def MA4 = MovingAverage(averageType, close(period = period) [-displace], length = length4);

#AddCloud(ma1,ma2, (CreateColor(255, 240, 0)));
#AddCloud(ma3,ma4, (CreateColor(100, 240, 0)));
addcloud(ma1,ma2, color.yellow, color.dark_orange);
addcloud(ma3,ma4, color.green, color.red);

I second your request. Hopefully someone can add to this great study and add customizable colors (transparency) and EMA lengths to the MTF clouds and lines. I have a hard time seeing the clouds sometimes unless I make them obnoxiously bright. :cool: Some optional up arrow / down arrow signals would be great too.

Here you have the real MTF code. RIP use hl2 not close value.

Regarding Colors you can change them at DefineGlobalColor.

Python:
# ########################################
# Ripster MTF Cloud 1h

# ########################################
# Chart Coloring
DefineGlobalColor("orange", CreateColor(33, 150, 243));
DefineGlobalColor("blueish", CreateColor(255, 183, 77));

input fast_ema = 34; # Hourly EMA 1 Short Length
input slow_ema = 50; # Hourly EMA 1 Long Length
input aggr = AggregationPeriod.HOUR; # Use hourly aggregation

# Higher Time Frame EMAs for EMA 1 (Hourly)
def ema1 = ExpAverage(hl2(period = aggr), fast_ema);
def ema2 = ExpAverage(hl2(period = aggr), slow_ema);

# Fill the cloud between the EMAs for (Hourly)
AddCloud(ema1, ema2, GlobalColor("orange"), GlobalColor("blueish"));

Python:
# ########################################
# Ripster MTF Cloud Daily

# ########################################
# Chart Coloring
DefineGlobalColor("green", CreateColor(0, 165, 0));
DefineGlobalColor("blue", CreateColor(255, 183, 77));

input maLen1 = 50; # EMA 1 Short Length
input maLen2 = 55; # EMA 1 Long Length
input maLen3 = 20; # EMA 2 Short Length
input maLen4 = 21; # EMA 2 Long Length

input aggr = AggregationPeriod.DAY; # Use daily aggregation

# Higher Time Frame EMAs for EMA 1 (Daily)
def ema1 = ExpAverage(hl2(period = aggr), maLen1);
def ema2 = ExpAverage(hl2(period = aggr), maLen2);

# Higher Time Frame EMAs for EMA 2 (Daily)
def ema3 = ExpAverage(hl2(period = aggr), maLen3);
def ema4 = ExpAverage(hl2(period = aggr), maLen4);

# Fill the cloud between the EMAs for EMA 1 (Daily)
AddCloud(ema1, ema2, GlobalColor("green"), CreateColor(255, 183, 77));

# Fill the cloud between the EMAs for EMA 2 (Daily)
AddCloud(ema3, ema4, GlobalColor("blue"), GlobalColor("green"));
 
Does any one has any scan based off of EMA Cloud ?

Does any one has any Scans/Studies from RipSter Clouds?
