SMA Breakout with RSI<50

[AggieEMT]

So I’ll preface by saying I know just enough about coding to be dangerous. I’ve written a little bit mostly from trial-and-error with copy/paste, but this has had me stumped for several days. I’m trying to build a scan that alerts when the SMA1 pulls away from SMA2 when both are above SMA3 and RSI is <=50 to alert of a potential breakout (where SMA1 < SMA2 < SMA3)….. I’ve tried to pull down code snippets and put them together but can’t get them quite right. I currently have the 9, 12, and 26 SMA overlaid on my chart, with RSI and volume below but know it can be coded into a scan with an alert.

I watched the Hahn Tech video on the MACD RSI squeeze and tried to emulate the spike on the bottom of the chart when the criteria are met, but I can't quite figure it out.... . If everything goes the way it is in my head, it would display the spike on this chart and/or pop up as an alert when the above criteria are met The problem right now is that I’m not sure what definition to use where the ****** is, which (if it works out like I envision) is where the SMA9 starts to pull away from the SMA27 but it’s not yet oversold.


Here’s what I’ve got so far:

input price = close;
input length1 = 9;
input length2 = 27;
input length3 = 42;
input barsAfterCross = 2;

def SMA1 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length1);
def SMA2 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length2);
def SMA3= SimpleMovingAvg(price, length3);
def crossAbove = SMA1[1] < SMA2[1] and SMA1 > SMA2;
def crossBelow = SMA1[1] > SMA2[1] and SMA1 < SMA2;

SMA1.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0, 197, 47));
SMA2.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(255, 126, 0));
SMA3.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(204, 0, 51));

def overSoldRSI = RSI <= 40;

def ******** = SMA1 > SMA2 and SMA2 > SMA3
plot ******* if highest(overSoldRSI[1], 4) > 0;

TIA!

The "def" is kind of what it says it is. You can define a condition. So you can name it anything.

 

[AggieEMT]

Well, that’s what I thought... so when I tried to name it “Breakout”, it was highlighted in red with an error. I didn’t know if it rejected it because I’d syntax or bc that definition is already used somewhere else.....?

you gotta add your semi colon at the end

SO AHH, this is not doing something & I cant' program. Down at line 20 "plot...>0:" is red on thinkscript editor. Can someone help out?
I thought adding the last bottom two lines would work, well no such luck. It's Chinese to me

input price = close;
input length1 = 9;
input length2 = 27;
input length3 = 42;
input barsAfterCross = 2;

def SMA1 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length1);
def SMA2 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length2);
def SMA3 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length3);
def crossAbove = SMA1[1] < SMA2[1] and SMA1 > SMA2;
def crossBelow = SMA1[1] > SMA2[1] and SMA1 < SMA2;

SMA1.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0, 197, 47));
SMA2.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(255, 126, 0));
SMA3.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(204, 0, 51));

def overSoldRSI = RSI <= 40;

def breakout = SMA1 > SMA2 and SMA2 > SMA3;
plot breakout if highest(overSoldRSI[1], 4) > 0;

plot breakout = asd;
breakout.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(0));

@Adeodatus That code is a mess. Start from scratch if you want to code what this thread describes.

 

[Adeodatus]

OK thanks, I just want to see a code to plot three SMA as the move up or down and cross, maybe four, nothing fancy. I thought AggieEMT had a nice one started but it's bust and but i cant write code. Back to square one again.

@Adeodatus

input price = close;
input length1 = 9;
input length2 = 27;
input length3 = 42;

plot SMA1 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length1);
plot SMA2 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length2);
plot SMA3 = SimpleMovingAvg(price, length3);

SMA1.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0, 197, 47));
SMA2.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(255, 126, 0));
SMA3.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(204, 0, 51));

@horserider how to get total ask buy (buy volume number) and total bid sell (sell volume number) for the day?
