Indicator for Think or Swim based on Rob Smith's The STRAT

@tjlizwelicha It's tough to debug without having the actual code that you are working with... Have you looked at the bottom where the errors are listed...??? From what little of the code I'm seeing, there doesn't appear to be closing quotes around your color names... Every line from line 92, which as the first line we can see, only has opening quotes but no closing quotes... Beyond that it's hard to say without posting your actual code here... Use the </> icon to encapsulate your script code...

Hey Pelonsax,

Thanks so much for all your shared work! On your MTF Open Price study, I have a line always plotting at 0. I'm not great at coding. Is there a way to remove this? It makes this study unusable as I have so much adjusting of the chart to do to see prices.
 
I'm a little confused at what is the optimal setup that people look for in terms of the numbered bars? Can someone please share their favs? @skychemist5 and if there is an easier way to simply setup buy/sell arrows on the chart instead of manually having to figure out the numbered candles? Thanks
 
Tried the strat but not for me, hope someone is able to make some real money with this. Like someone said too much hindsight. All the stuff I see and read out there is “after the fact”. I did learn a lot like using MTF analysis which I am able to take away and broadening formations happen everywhere.
 
Hi Pelonsax ,I enjoy your passion with your projects and thought process ,how you guys figure all code out amazes me ,,I need a little help if you have time ,I have been backtesting john carters TTM squeeze and get the whole firing process ,,I would like to add another column to my TOS watchlist ,,column would be green whenever close price closes above ATR 3 on keltner channel on daily chart and turn red when price closes below minus ATR 3 , my backrest results after price on daily chart exceeds ATR 3 then next day its starts to revert towards the 21 day ema ,,put would be bought for 2 to 7 day move,,conversely bottom up move would be a call play. Any help would be appreciated

Excellent work and thank you for all of this! I was playing with watch list columns and saw the 1st titled Strat FTC didn't match up so I basically combined the 2 to show color codes with price. This plots more to my thinking as I want FTFC across the board as the individual frames will take care of themselves. Anyway it works for my brain. It loaded 50-70 symbols pretty quick (weekend), S&P 100 it started bogging down.

I put this in the top post with the latest update. Thanks again Bob! Sorry it took so long!
 
@Pelonsax - what a dedication work you put into this. So many hours, days of work you put into this. Appreciate so much of all you do.
Apologize if I am asking redundant questions and answers may have been posted before.
Please let me know my comments below are correct?
Candle with label of 1 below looks to be inside bar.
Candle with label of 2 means it take out only 1 side of previous bar (this can be either take out the high or the low but not both).
Candle with label of 3 means it is outside bar (which take out the high and the low of previous bar.

My last question is regarding to the watchlist that shows different time frame with output as example below.
I think you are looking at the last 3bars the one with the bracket is current bar.
2D-2D-[2D] 2D means take out the low of previous bar, in this case you have 3 consecutive down bar taking out the low?
2U-2U-[2U] 2U means take out the high of previuous bar, in this case you have 3 consecutive up bar taking out the high?
3U-2U-[1D] 3U means outside bar take out high and low on previous bar, then 2U means it take out the high of 1st bar 3U, and 1D means it's inside bar that take out the low of bar that has 2U?

Thank you in advance and look forward for your responses? If there's any additional reading that you have, please let me know! Appreciate all the work you put in and sharing all to us!!!
Best regards,

A SUITE OF PRODUCTS BY PELONSAX AKA RAMON DV FOR USE WITH: ROB SMITH’S THE STRAT

I am writing these to help myself learn The STRAT because I am a visual learner. And I am sharing them because many generous people have shared their time and expertise with me along my journey and we can do more when we work together.

But before we get to all of that, here is a link to a really great video that Rob just recorded for Benzinga where he gives a GREAT introduction to The STRAT. It is NOT recommended that you use any of my indicators for trading with live money until you've had the chance to gain a real understanding of how The STRAT works and given yourself ample opportunity to practice on paper.

Here's the video: https://benzinga.wistia.com/medias/zoi6e794v3?fbclid=IwAR06RBtG0bimZcgyDuryjd12K7BdbDPCdkrE-O0k3hcT7JvMsk889v8qv3c

Keep in mind that I am not the creator of The STRAT. I am a disciple who has been creating these TOS studies along the way in my journey to learn this system and be able to visualize how it works. For more information on the STRAT, and to really learn how to use it to trade effectively with or without any of my studies, please visit Rob on Ticker Tocker!!

https://www.tickertocker.com/?fbclid=IwAR1ZDPKpTX2WzOrnOFqFuMOw5Wx_u4eTZoxco8-yZeBIObQJHQsYmZAakQU

!!!VERY IMPORTANT!!!! THERE ARE NO BUY AND SELL SIGNALS.!!!
The decision to buy or sell MUST BE predicated upon a deeper understanding of this system and any other tools at your disposal. As a matter of fact this study only considers the four basic reversals. You can turn both the arrows and the bubbles off in the settings so they don't clutter your chart.

Lastly, I would like to point out that this is an active thread that is constantly evolving as I continue to improve and add to these studies. If you have questions or comments about them I just ask, as I noted above, that you first make sure you are referring to the most recent version of a particular study and that you be very specific using screenshots in any such comments.

For those of you from Twitter who are just here for the bare essentials, here are two very basic studies:

STRAT_REMIX_2.0

https://tos.mx/dpLsYg3

STRAT_REMIX_LITE_2.0

https://tos.mx/4osFry3
Same as the REMIX but with candle paint only on Inside Bars, Outside Bars, and Reversals. Allows user to turn toggle each.

STRAT_REMIX_SUPER_LITE

https://tos.mx/l7NLHn2
Same as the REMIX but completely stripped down to the bare essentials for machines with performance issues. This is the study I use.

CONTINUITY FLEX GRID

https://tos.mx/bWIOYRv
Custom Flex Grid I made for a friend. Here's a video for how to load the symbols on it:

Here's what it looks like:

VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR MAIN STUDIES:


HAMMERS AND SHOOTERS

This study is ONLY meant to allow the user to find the best settings for the hammer and shooting star component of the Remix study and Actionable Signals studies. All it does is find Hammers and Shooters using the same code in those other studies and paints them green or red while all other candles are painted gray. With this study you can tweak the settings in a way that best serves your purposes and then transfer those settings to the Strat studies.

COMPLETE TIME FRAME CONTINUITY STUDY WITH BACKGROUND COLOR AND ALERTS

THIS STUDY HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE TIME FRAME CONTINUITY STUDY AT THE TOP

DO NOT LOAD THIS ON THE WHITE PRELOADED CHARTS. THEY ALREADY HAVE A VERSION THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOR


This study incorporates the same elements of the previous TFC studies in one complete script. You can place this script on any chart in any time frame and it will work, but there is a catch and there is nothing anyone can do to change it: like ANY multi time frame study in tThink or Swim, this WILL NOT use the aggregations for time frames that are lower than the chart. This means that it will not draw or consider the open for a lower time frame (for example any intraday TF on a daily chart. I recommend that you use a grid with multiple time frames in order to make the best use of this study. When you place this on a chart, you must check to see how much data you are providing. For example, if you are on a 1min 1D chart, you have only two days worth of data, so you cannot use any time frame higher than a day. In order to use the week or month or year, you would need the chart to include a week, month, year's worth of time. Once you have the time frame the chart is set to and the amount of time that is on the chart, you should go into the settings and select "No" for any time frames that are not included. For example: If you use a 5 min 10 D chart, you should select "no" on Use Minute, Use Three, Use Month, Use Year. If you are only looking for intraday time frame continuity, you should select Use Minute through Use Hour. The study changes the background color of the chart when there is FTFC to the upside (green) or to the downside (red). If the background is black, there is no FTFC. It also has the highest and lowest open levels painted as cyan and magenta lines (like the previous studies) as well as arrows wherever there is FTFC. You can choose to not display only of the elements listed above with the exception of the background color. I recommend you allow the use of the lines and labels when you first place the study on the chart so that you can be sure that you are displaying time frame continuity correctly or as desired. There is also an audible alert. Here's what it looks like:

BROADENING FORMATIONS (1ST DRAFT)

This study will only find 1-3 combos and extend diagonal lines outward. I wasn't going to release it yet because I'm waiting to really make it work with multi bar pivots, but someone asked for exactly this in the comments and since this one is ready now, here you go. Keep in mind that this is not exactly the same as a broadening formation as Rob describes it. (It is and it isn't. This is only one example of a broadening formation). It could come in handy if you want to run it on a higher time frame like the daily or weekly and then draw over the lines so that it shows up on the lower time frames. I have to credit Halcyon Guy (Don L.) who wrote the backbone and has given me permission to publish. I moded his version of a similar study that looks for wedges. This is basically the 2 bar inverse of his study.

!!ACTIONABLE SIGNAL SCANS!!

Rather than go into another lengthy description, I just decided to make a video and post the links.

Link to James Fox’s STRAT Scan video:

UPDATE: 03/23/21 Tried to re-upload complete overlay charts with a new link because I noticed that they were set to use log scale. I noticed it messes with my drawings so I turn it off on all my charts. I think it's the best setting. Ill try to give y'all fresh links later (probably just a problem with TOS right now), but for now, to change it manually, it looks like this:

mAJ243X.png


UPDATE: 05/21/21 Updated strat numbers so that the 1's and 3's appear as white numbers below, the 2U is a green number above and the 2D is a red number below. Added that component to all REMIX studies. Added REMIX SUPER LITE for machines with performance issues. And lastly, I have added two flex grids, one that is only continuity labels, and another that is a full radar screen based on Alex Option's idea. There are video tutorials for each. I also removed the studies that have been incorporated into the REMIX or TFC master studies as well as older studies that were glitchy and I don't have time or desire to support.

UPDATE: 04/01/21 Updated Kicker Actionable signal to include opposite continuity for kick age and fixed bug with measured move. Streamlined thread removing studies that are now obsolete.

UPDATE: 02/28/21 Added TFC study to Pre-Loaded Color Overlay Charts. This is because the Complete TFC study at the top changes the color of the background which defeats the purpose of the color overlay chart on a white background. This is simply a condensed, simplified version of the TFC study. It will only work if the intraday chart is set to 1 minute and the full chart is set to 1 hour.

UPDATE: 02/28/21 Added additional new version of color script. Re-worked the colors to let each TF stand out.

UPDATE: 02/26/21 Added new color version of the overlay study. There are three separate versions, each a different shade.

UPDATE: 01/02/21 Corrected bug in watchlist columns. Then you very much for catching that @fishstick1229 !!!!!!

UPDATE: 10/19/20 Placed link for the two main studies at the top. Added set up tutorial video for two main (most recent studies). Removed older studies (Basic Four). Added Hammers_and_Shooters study. Added Actionable Signal Scans and video

UPDATE: 10/15/20 Made Background Color script all inclusive and MTF capable. Added specific type of actionable signal onto the alerts written into the Remix version

UPDATE: 10/14/20 Per request, added alerts for reversals to the Reversal Remix and Actionable Signal study. Added alert to Background Color FTC Study. Added 1st draft Broadening Formation study.
Hi @Pelonsax. First of all, great job on the #TheStrat code for TOS, thank you for that. I have seen the color coded labels, based on the color of the candle at various time frames on the top left side of the charts. I have this color coded triple EMA, where if the 8 is higher than both the 13 and 21 EMAs, then it's green. If it is below, it's red and in between yellow. Is it possible to code these labels at the top, where it can show me the color of the candles/bars at various timeframes, based on this code? Thank you in advance for your help.

Code:
#Mr Slim Miller at askSLIM dot com
#SlimRibbonCustom_markos9-7-18
input price = close;

input superfast_length = 8;

input fast_length = 13;

input slow_length = 21;

input displace = 0;



def mov_avg8 = ExpAverage(price[-displace], superfast_length);

def mov_avg13 = ExpAverage(price[-displace], fast_length);

def mov_avg21 = ExpAverage(price[-displace], slow_length);



#moving averages

Plot Superfast = mov_avg8;

plot Fast = mov_avg13;

plot Slow = mov_avg21;



def buy = mov_avg8 > mov_avg13 and mov_avg13 > mov_avg21 and low > mov_avg8;

def stopbuy = mov_avg8 <= mov_avg13;

def buynow = !buy[1] and buy;

def buysignal = CompoundValue(1, if buynow and !stopbuy then 1 else if buysignal[1]==1 and stopbuy then 0 else buysignal[1], 0);



plot Buy_Signal = buysignal[1] == 0 and buysignal==1;

Buy_signal.setpaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);

Buy_signal.setdefaultColor(color.dark_GREEN);

Buy_signal.hidetitle();

Alert(condition = buysignal[1] == 0 and buysignal == 1, text = "Buy Signal", sound = Sound.Bell, "alert type" = Alert.BAR);



plot Momentum_Down = buysignal[1] ==1 and buysignal==0;

Momentum_down.setpaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);

Momentum_Down.setdefaultColor(color.yellow);

Momentum_down.hidetitle();

Alert(condition = buysignal[1] == 1 and buysignal == 0, text = "Momentum_Down", sound = Sound.Bell, "alert type" = Alert.BAR);



def sell = mov_avg8 < mov_avg13 and mov_avg13 < mov_avg21 and high < mov_avg8;

def stopsell = mov_avg8 >= mov_avg13;

def sellnow = !sell[1] and sell;

def sellsignal = CompoundValue(1, if sellnow and !stopsell then 1 else if sellsignal[1]==1 and stopsell then 0 else sellsignal[1], 0);



Plot Sell_Signal = sellsignal[1] ==0 and sellsignal;

Sell_signal.setpaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_down);

sell_signal.setDefaultColor(color.red);

Sell_signal.hidetitle();

Alert(condition = sellsignal[1] == 0 and sellsignal == 1, text = "Sell Signal", sound = Sound.Bell, "alert type" = Alert.BAR);



Plot Momentum_Up = sellsignal[1]==1 and sellSignal==0;

plot Colorbars = if buysignal ==1 then 1 else if sellsignal ==1 then 2 else if buysignal ==0 or sellsignal==0 then 3 else 0;

colorbars.hide();

Colorbars.definecolor("Buy_Signal_Bars", color.dark_green);

Colorbars.definecolor("Sell_Signal_Bars", color.red);

Colorbars.definecolor("Neutral", color.yellow);



AssignPriceColor(if Colorbars ==1 then colorbars.color("buy_signal_bars") else if colorbars ==2 then colorbars.color("Sell_Signal_bars") else  colorbars.color("neutral"));

How could I have the 1min. chart show the Bubbles with the respective colors of the EMAs described above, for the 5min. 15min., 30min, 60min, 4hr, daily, weekly and monthly?

So, if the 5min. is green based on the fact that the 8>13>21 EMAs, then show the small Bubble on the top left corner with a 5min label and the background color being green, etc.

Thank you in advance for your help!
 
@Pelonsax - what a dedication work you put into this. So many hours, days of work you put into this. Appreciate so much of all you do.
Apologize if I am asking redundant questions and answers may have been posted before.
Please let me know my comments below are correct?
Candle with label of 1 below looks to be inside bar.
Candle with label of 2 means it take out only 1 side of previous bar (this can be either take out the high or the low but not both).
Candle with label of 3 means it is outside bar (which take out the high and the low of previous bar.

My last question is regarding to the watchlist that shows different time frame with output as example below.
I think you are looking at the last 3bars the one with the bracket is current bar.
2D-2D-[2D] 2D means take out the low of previous bar, in this case you have 3 consecutive down bar taking out the low?
2U-2U-[2U] 2U means take out the high of previuous bar, in this case you have 3 consecutive up bar taking out the high?
3U-2U-[1D] 3U means outside bar take out high and low on previous bar, then 2U means it take out the high of 1st bar 3U, and 1D means it's inside bar that take out the low of bar that has 2U?

Thank you in advance and look forward for your responses? If there's any additional reading that you have, please let me know! Appreciate all the work you put in and sharing all to us!!!
Best regards,
mdtn
Yes, everything you sid appears to be correct.
 
Been using the 1 and 2 bar rev strat scans, fantastic!. I'm not a programmer so can anyone help me understand how to turn the bullish scans into bearish scans? I appreciate any guidance. Thanks

I'm pretty sure that all you need to do is go in the code and switch around any and all <> signs. (where you see <, replace it with <, etc)
 
Thank you. I was able to do the 1 Bar Rev Strat and the Inside Bull Break. The 2 Bar Rev Strat scan is looking for a 1-2dn-2up and the Thinkscript Editor says "no such function:TwoDown at 1:1". I'm not quite sure what that means, but it won't let me change it to "TwoUp", since I'd be looking for a 1-2up-2dn.

A SUITE OF PRODUCTS BY PELONSAX AKA RAMON DV FOR USE WITH: ROB SMITH’S THE STRAT

I am writing these to help myself learn The STRAT because I am a visual learner. And I am sharing them because many generous people have shared their time and expertise with me along my journey and we can do more when we work together.

But before we get to all of that, here is a link to a really great video that Rob just recorded for Benzinga where he gives a GREAT introduction to The STRAT. It is NOT recommended that you use any of my indicators for trading with live money until you've had the chance to gain a real understanding of how The STRAT works and given yourself ample opportunity to practice on paper.

Here's the video: https://benzinga.wistia.com/medias/zoi6e794v3?fbclid=IwAR06RBtG0bimZcgyDuryjd12K7BdbDPCdkrE-O0k3hcT7JvMsk889v8qv3c

Keep in mind that I am not the creator of The STRAT. I am a disciple who has been creating these TOS studies along the way in my journey to learn this system and be able to visualize how it works. For more information on the STRAT, and to really learn how to use it to trade effectively with or without any of my studies, please visit Rob on Ticker Tocker!!

https://www.tickertocker.com/?fbclid=IwAR1ZDPKpTX2WzOrnOFqFuMOw5Wx_u4eTZoxco8-yZeBIObQJHQsYmZAakQU

!!!VERY IMPORTANT!!!! THERE ARE NO BUY AND SELL SIGNALS.!!!
The decision to buy or sell MUST BE predicated upon a deeper understanding of this system and any other tools at your disposal. As a matter of fact this study only considers the four basic reversals. You can turn both the arrows and the bubbles off in the settings so they don't clutter your chart.

Lastly, I would like to point out that this is an active thread that is constantly evolving as I continue to improve and add to these studies. If you have questions or comments about them I just ask, as I noted above, that you first make sure you are referring to the most recent version of a particular study and that you be very specific using screenshots in any such comments.

For those of you from Twitter who are just here for the bare essentials, here are two very basic studies:

VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR MAIN STUDIES:


HAMMERS AND SHOOTERS

This study is ONLY meant to allow the user to find the best settings for the hammer and shooting star component of the Remix study and Actionable Signals studies. All it does is find Hammers and Shooters using the same code in those other studies and paints them green or red while all other candles are painted gray. With this study you can tweak the settings in a way that best serves your purposes and then transfer those settings to the Strat studies.

COMPLETE TIME FRAME CONTINUITY STUDY WITH BACKGROUND COLOR AND ALERTS

THIS STUDY HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE TIME FRAME CONTINUITY STUDY AT THE TOP

DO NOT LOAD THIS ON THE WHITE PRELOADED CHARTS. THEY ALREADY HAVE A VERSION THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOR


This study incorporates the same elements of the previous TFC studies in one complete script. You can place this script on any chart in any time frame and it will work, but there is a catch and there is nothing anyone can do to change it: like ANY multi time frame study in tThink or Swim, this WILL NOT use the aggregations for time frames that are lower than the chart. This means that it will not draw or consider the open for a lower time frame (for example any intraday TF on a daily chart. I recommend that you use a grid with multiple time frames in order to make the best use of this study. When you place this on a chart, you must check to see how much data you are providing. For example, if you are on a 1min 1D chart, you have only two days worth of data, so you cannot use any time frame higher than a day. In order to use the week or month or year, you would need the chart to include a week, month, year's worth of time. Once you have the time frame the chart is set to and the amount of time that is on the chart, you should go into the settings and select "No" for any time frames that are not included. For example: If you use a 5 min 10 D chart, you should select "no" on Use Minute, Use Three, Use Month, Use Year. If you are only looking for intraday time frame continuity, you should select Use Minute through Use Hour. The study changes the background color of the chart when there is FTFC to the upside (green) or to the downside (red). If the background is black, there is no FTFC. It also has the highest and lowest open levels painted as cyan and magenta lines (like the previous studies) as well as arrows wherever there is FTFC. You can choose to not display only of the elements listed above with the exception of the background color. I recommend you allow the use of the lines and labels when you first place the study on the chart so that you can be sure that you are displaying time frame continuity correctly or as desired. There is also an audible alert. Here's what it looks like:

BROADENING FORMATIONS (1ST DRAFT)

This study will only find 1-3 combos and extend diagonal lines outward. I wasn't going to release it yet because I'm waiting to really make it work with multi bar pivots, but someone asked for exactly this in the comments and since this one is ready now, here you go. Keep in mind that this is not exactly the same as a broadening formation as Rob describes it. (It is and it isn't. This is only one example of a broadening formation). It could come in handy if you want to run it on a higher time frame like the daily or weekly and then draw over the lines so that it shows up on the lower time frames. I have to credit Halcyon Guy (Don L.) who wrote the backbone and has given me permission to publish. I moded his version of a similar study that looks for wedges. This is basically the 2 bar inverse of his study.

Link to James Fox’s STRAT Scan video:

UPDATE: 03/23/21 Tried to re-upload complete overlay charts with a new link because I noticed that they were set to use log scale. I noticed it messes with my drawings so I turn it off on all my charts. I think it's the best setting. Ill try to give y'all fresh links later (probably just a problem with TOS right now), but for now, to change it manually, it looks like this:

UPDATE: 05/21/21 Updated strat numbers so that the 1's and 3's appear as white numbers below, the 2U is a green number above and the 2D is a red number below. Added that component to all REMIX studies. Added REMIX SUPER LITE for machines with performance issues. And lastly, I have added two flex grids, one that is only continuity labels, and another that is a full radar screen based on Alex Option's idea. There are video tutorials for each. I also removed the studies that have been incorporated into the REMIX or TFC master studies as well as older studies that were glitchy and I don't have time or desire to support.

UPDATE: 04/01/21 Updated Kicker Actionable signal to include opposite continuity for kick age and fixed bug with measured move. Streamlined thread removing studies that are now obsolete.

UPDATE: 02/28/21 Added TFC study to Pre-Loaded Color Overlay Charts. This is because the Complete TFC study at the top changes the color of the background which defeats the purpose of the color overlay chart on a white background. This is simply a condensed, simplified version of the TFC study. It will only work if the intraday chart is set to 1 minute and the full chart is set to 1 hour.

UPDATE: 02/28/21 Added additional new version of color script. Re-worked the colors to let each TF stand out.

UPDATE: 02/26/21 Added new color version of the overlay study. There are three separate versions, each a different shade.

UPDATE: 01/02/21 Corrected bug in watchlist columns. Then you very much for catching that @fishstick1229 !!!!!!

UPDATE: 10/19/20 Placed link for the two main studies at the top. Added set up tutorial video for two main (most recent studies). Removed older studies (Basic Four). Added Hammers_and_Shooters study. Added Actionable Signal Scans and video

UPDATE: 10/15/20 Made Background Color script all inclusive and MTF capable. Added specific type of actionable signal onto the alerts written into the Remix version

UPDATE: 10/14/20 Per request, added alerts for reversals to the Reversal Remix and Actionable Signal study. Added alert to Background Color FTC Study. Added 1st draft Broadening Formation study.
For the

HAMMERS AND SHOOTERS

is there a way i can keep my candle colors and change the colors of the hammer and shooter candles?
