Price Spikes Indicators For ThinkOrSwim

Sometime ago my trading partner wrote a variation of the code above. It was used primarily for options trading:

Code:
#Standard Deviation Spike Indicator by Corvus Xander

declare lower;
input length = 20;
def closeLog = Log(close[1]/ close[2]);
def SDev = stdev(closeLog, length)*Sqrt(length / (length - 1));
def m= SDev * close[1];
plot spike = (close[0]- close[1]) / m;
spike.setPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
spike.AssignValueColor(if close > close[1] then Color.UPTICK else if close < close[1] then Color.DOWNTICK else GetColor(1));
 
@Lone Wolf - not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but perhaps consider using zscore - lots of scripts around that and online resources explaining what it is and how it works
 
@Lone Wolf - The three codes are closely related. If u plot all three u will notice subtle differences. Mine was designed to measure changes in option prices as standard deviations.
 
@Lone Wolf Try this. You can adjust the Upper/Lower Thresholds like @BenTen mentioned. It will only show the bars that extend past the threshold levels.

# Converted from https://www.tradingview.com/script/s8Wz3GbK-SigmaSpikes-R-per-Adam-H-Grimes/
# simple modification by Pensar to only show spikes above/below threshold levels

declare lower;

input length = 20;
def change = close/close[1] - 1;
def stdev = stdev(change, length);
def sigma = change / stdev[1];
plot UpperTreshold = 3;
plot LowerTreshold = -3;
plot ZeroLine = 0;
plot r = if sigma > UpperTreshold
         or sigma < LowerTreshold
         then sigma
         else double.nan;
r.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);

could you share how to use this indicator? based on code it seems like it is calculating if the price spiked above certain standard deviations? Thanks!

Yes, Spike Oscillators look for price spikes above certain thresholds to signal possible reversals.

The script author, Stephen Harlin is such an awesome chartist. So I decided to add this to our indicators.

We can't ask the author for any further explanations because as amazing a mathematician that he is, he is an even more amazing doctor and is devoting himself to saving lives during this horrible period of our lives.

Recommend you put it on your chart. Nothing beats personal experience ;) The only way you will know what works best for you is to play with the settings and see how the indicator line up w/ your strategy and with your other indicators. To determine if this indicator brings value, analyze it over different timeframes, across history and with multiple instruments.

To give-back to the community, come on back and tell us your findings(y)

@MerryDay I believe this indicator is showing the spikes (hi/lows with velocity) of IV. However, there's doesn't not seem to be much correlation with std. HV and IV indicators. Is this explained by the momentum or velocity of the single candle showing the spike? In other words, the aggressiveness of buyers and sellers for that candles period.

The spikes do not come with an explanation. They are above / below the standard deviation for whatever reason.
For members trading on price action, this is a great tool for the toolbox. When combined w/ volume, you get a heads-up when there is eminent change a-coming.

Spikes that are greater than whatever threshold you set for your particular timeframe are an indication that you should take notice.
