Stochastic Watchlist, Scan, Alert, Arrows & Other For ThinkOrSwim

@cswu1211 The main difference, as I recall, is the ability to set the low, mid, and high levels yourself. I've found it useful when trading different timeframes to be able to set the levels differently. Also you'll notice that the K and D periods and the slowing factors have different default values.

tks, greatly appreciated. could you show me WHICH section of the script has these info for further modifications

Sorry cswu1211 - took a while to get back to you.

This section creates inputs that are populated with my preferred default values for the 1, 2, 5 minute times frames. They are easily changed in TOS by selecting 'Edit Properties'.

Code: 
input l1 = 6;
input l2 = 12;
input l3 = 20;
input l4 = 28;
input l5 = 35;
input m1 = 46;
input m2 = 54;
input h1 = 65;
input h2 = 72;
input h3 = 80;
input h4 = 90;
input h5 = 94;

Lower in the code is where you can set the colors for the levels:

AssignPriceColor(
if FullD >= h5 then CreateColor (255,245,255)
else if FullD >= h4 then CreateColor (255,190,248)
else if FullD >= h3 then CreateColor (0,213,255)
else if FullD >= h2 then CreateColor (0,255,170)
else if FullD >= h1 then CreateColor (43,255,0)
else if FullD >= m2 then CreateColor (170,255,0)
else if FullD >= m1 then CreateColor (255,255,115)
else if FullD >= l5 then CreateColor (255,170,0)
else if FullD >= l4 then CreateColor (255,102,25)
else if FullD >= l3 then CreateColor (255,55,0)
else if FullD >= l2 then CreateColor (200,0,15)
else if FullD >= l1 then CreateColor (177,17,68)
else if FullD >= 0 then CreateColor (128,0,106)
else CreateColor (255,255,25) );

h5 is the highest level.
 
Hey Guys

First post here and I want to say Thank You to all who have contributed to this amazing source of ThinkScript knowledge!

I have written an indicator that draws an arrow and writes to the message center when a slow stochastic is below 20 and a fast stochastic is above 80 (amongst other conditions). I got an odd result today whereby I got the message in the message center but not the arrows. After watching it for a while I realized that the arrow was repainting. I don't understand this as the StochasticSlow is using close as a parameter so how is the condition triggering before the bar has closed? Is there a way (other than multi-timeframe) to have the condition fire only at the close of the bar?

Many thanks!

Matt.


Code: 
# Slow Stoch Indicator inspired by BreakpointTrades.com
# Written by Matt Ward
#######################################################
# Version 1.0 3/17/21
# It triggers on two conditions.  The first is when the slow stoch is above "bull upper" (default 80)
# and the fast stock crosses below "bull lower" (default 20).   The second is when the slow stoch is
# below "bear lower" (default 20) and the fast stoch crosses above "bear upper" (default 80). You can
# change the stoch speeds using the inputs "fast stoch" (default 10) and "slow stoch" (default 60). 
#######################################################
# Version 1.1 3/21/21
# Added Alerts.  If the alerts are turned on then and the script triggers then it will write to the
# Message Center and play a sound.   You can chose which sound on the settings screen
# The way I use this is to have a 2x2 chart window open with 5 min charts for the SPY, QQQ, IWM and DIA.
# This way I get a real time alert when the trigger conditions are met.

Input SlowStoch = 60;

I'm very far from being an expert, but tos labeling 'last price' as close is a bit misleading. tos seems to choose a price out of the avalanche of price data that's available and says, 'here, use this'. Its why different charts, even in tos, show different prices at roughly the same time. tos also limits your ability to pull price at the micro-time level, due to the sheer data tos would have to download to users.

imo, if you need that level of detail for 'last price', tos is the wrong platform for you, probably, any retail platform is the wrong platform
 
Hi Guys, I need help on my first post here. I've been looking for Stochastic upper label for awhile but nowhere to find one so I figured it out how to add upper label.

If anyone could help adjust the code, I'm trying to separate color of %K >or< 50%. I'm looking for %K > 50 then shows color green or blue (doesn't matter), and then if %K <50 then shows color red or orange. the only code I added from original StochasticFAST is at the bottom

Thanks guy, really appreciate it! Also, all lines still show on upper study if you can hide or remove them please do, if not I can unselect to not show on study later.


Code: 
#
# Stochastic %K label
#

declare upper;

input over_bought = 80;
input over_sold = 20;
input KPeriod = 10;
input DPeriod = 3;
input priceH = high;
input priceL = low;
input priceC = close;
input averageType = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input showBreakoutSignals = {default "No", "On FastK", "On FastD", "On FastK & FastD"};

plot FastK = reference StochasticFull(over_bought, over_sold, KPeriod, DPeriod, priceH, priceL, priceC, 1, averageType).FullK;
plot FastD = reference StochasticFull(over_bought, over_sold, KPeriod, DPeriod, priceH, priceL, priceC, 1, averageType).FullD;
plot OverBought = over_bought;
plot OverSold = over_sold;

def upK = FastK crosses above OverSold;
def upD = FastD crosses above OverSold;
def downK = FastK crosses below OverBought;
def downD = FastD crosses below OverBought;

plot UpSignal;
plot DownSignal;
switch (showBreakoutSignals) {
case "No":
    UpSignal = Double.NaN;
    DownSignal = Double.NaN;
case "On FastK":
    UpSignal = if upK then OverSold else Double.NaN;
    DownSignal = if downK then OverBought else Double.NaN;
case "On FastD":
    UpSignal = if upD then OverSold else Double.NaN;
    DownSignal = if downD then OverBought else Double.NaN;
case "On FastK & FastD":
    UpSignal = if upK or upD then OverSold else Double.NaN;
    DownSignal = if downK or downD then OverBought else Double.NaN;
}

UpSignal.SetHiding(showBreakoutSignals == showBreakoutSignals."No");
DownSignal.SetHiding(showBreakoutSignals == showBreakoutSignals."No");

FastK.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
FastD.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(0));
OverBought.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
OverSold.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
UpSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.UPTICK);
UpSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
DownSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.DOWNTICK);
DownSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);

AddLabel(yes, "%K= " + FastK, Color.BLUE);

Thank you Guys! @BenTen @MerryDay
 
Hello all,
I use the Stochastic Slow as one of my indicators on the Daily time frame.
The settings are
input over_bought = 80;
input over_sold = 20;
input KPeriod = 5;
input DPeriod = 1;

I want to be able to turn this into a scanner so that if a stock falls below the oversold range (under 20) it will show up on my scan.
https://imgur.com/qIuN8pP

I tried this for the code but this is not working for me. I also watched couple videos but i can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Code: 
input over_bought = 80;
input over_sold = 20;
input KPeriod = 5;
input DPeriod = 1;
input priceH = high;
input priceL = low;
input priceC = close;
input averageType = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input showBreakoutSignals = {default "No", "On SlowK", "On SlowD", "On SlowK & SlowD"};

def SlowK = reference StochasticFull(over_bought, over_sold, KPeriod, DPeriod, priceH, priceL, priceC, 3, averageType).FullK;
def SlowD = reference
StochasticFull(over_bought, over_sold, KPeriod, DPeriod, priceH, priceL, priceC, 3, averageType).FullD;
def OverBought = over_bought;
def OverSold = over_sold;

def Data = (SlowK[1] < SlowD[1]) and (SlowK > SlowD) ;
 
@crashed323 Welcome to the usethinkscript forums...

It appears that you're making this out to be harder than it needs to be... Wouldn't it be easier to simply reference StochasticSlow.OverSold rather than trying to rewrite history...??? Doesn't the Scanner Conditional Wizard panel below display what you are looking for...??? You could just as easily use is less than or equal to...

Oh yes I didnt think of that. Not sure why i didnt find that as an option when i was messing with it last night.
Thank you will be testing it now.
 
Hello script geniuses,

I've stumbled on a script which was posted by tc815. Seems he is not an active member within this community so it's hard to ask any questions or making requests. With that said, I would love for anyone that has the awesome knowledge to convert this script into a SCANNER. I personally see a potential in it, but lack the knowledge of writing scripts.....

Here it is the Code:


def agg=aggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN;
def na = Double.NaN;
input ORBegin = 930;
input OREnd = 1600;
def ORActive = if SecondsTillTime(OREnd) > 0 and SecondsTillTime(ORBegin) <= 0 then 1 else 0;
def today = GetDay() == GetLastDay();
def numDevDn = -2.0;
def numDevUp = 2.0;
def timeFrame = 3 ;

def cap = getAggregationPeriod();
def errorInAggregation =
timeFrame == 3 and cap >= AggregationPeriod.WEEK or
timeFrame == 3 and cap >= AggregationPeriod.MONTH;
assert(!errorInAggregation, "timeFrame should be not less than current chart aggregation period");

def yyyyMmDd = getYyyyMmDd();
def periodIndx;
#switch (timeFrame) {
#case DAY:
periodIndx = yyyyMmDd;
#}
#def isPeriodRolled = compoundValue(1, periodIndx != periodIndx[1], yes);

def volumeSum;
def volumeVwapSum;
def volumeVwap2Sum;

#if (isPeriodRolled) {
volumeSum = volume;
volumeVwapSum = volume * vwap;
volumeVwap2Sum = volume * Sqr(vwap);

def price = volumeVwapSum / volumeSum;
def deviation = Sqrt(Max(volumeVwap2Sum / volumeSum - Sqr(price), 0));

You might also consider copying that script and adding it to a custom watchlist column so it lights up on stocks you're interested in.

This thing works beautifully for the time I had left before market closed.....it's set for 5 min.....have you tried to maybe change it to 1m 2m 15m 1 hour??? Wonder if it would work?

@Stock Tradin kindly explain the details or why were you interested in the scanner specifically this script, please? What does it provide you if wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks. @cabe1332
