Ken Rose of TD Ameritrade recently shared a watchlist column that shows potential bull flag and bear flag patterns being formed. I modified it a little so that it can also plot bull flag signal and also bear flag signal on your chart.

Here is the indicator

Where are your Gap columns coming from?

Where are your Gap columns coming from?

It is difficult to say where an arbitrary watchlist column script came from back in 2019.

These are the steps that you can take when looking for answers on the forum:

1. Using the instructions in the top thread, here is a search for all threads that referenced GAP sorted by popularity.
https://usethinkscript.com/search/1...1&c[nodes][0]=3&c[title_only]=1&o=replies&g=1

2. Clicking on the topmost popular GAP thread reveals that it is 4 pages long! Not wanting to wade trough 100 posts. this hack is used to create a search through the 4 pages, for posts that referenced watchlist. The search of the thread for watchlist found the GAP column that you were asking about and found some additional variations:

Youre awesome! and thanks for linking how you did also!

Sorry, I just didn't know the syntax for searching this forum, so didn't know how to fix it. If there is a Help page that shows the search syntax allowable, a link to it would be appreciated.

Speaking of which, I am very appreciative of your support and @csricksdds posts and chart formats. I don't pretend to be an expert at any of this, and just trying to learn enough to improve and optimize a bit better my investment performance with Thinkorswim.
