People seem to really like the RSI Laguerre that @markos shared and SuperTrend is another popular indicator on our site. Why not combine both into a single indicator?

The indicator you see below isn't just about adding SuperTrend and RSI Laguerre into one script to save space. They actually work together to produce buy and sell signals.

Code:
# CSA Nube (RSI Laguerre, SuperTrend)
# Nube
# 8.28.2016

# When RSI Laguerre is combined with SuperTrend, if this study plots a
# line and ST changes that bar or the next one, then it seems to be a
# decent entry.
#
# After making this observation, I'm tentatively going to scrap the momentum
# study (VACD) and just use the Laguerre RSI to decide trend and the
# Supertrend for entry. I think something along the lines of attaching that
# to RSI will be enough to decide direction and then just flag the switchover
# between up and down in ST

# RSI in Laguerre Time Self Adjusting With Fractal Energy

# Both Fractal Energy and RSI are plotted. RSI in cyan and FE in yellow. Look for trend exhaustion in the FE and a reversal of RSI or Price compression in FE and an RSI reversal.

#Inputs:
input nFE = 13;#hint nFE: length for Fractal Energy calculation.
input Overbought = 0.80;
input Oversold = 0.20;
Input Label = Yes;

L2 = -gamma * L1 + L1[1] + gamma * L2[1];
L3 = -gamma * L2 + L2[1] + gamma * L3[1];
if L0 >= L1
then {

    CD1 = 0;
} else {
    CD1 = L1 - L0;
    CU1 = 0;
}

then {
    CU = CU2 + L2 - L3;
    CD = CD2;
} else {
    CU = CU2;
    CD = CD2 + L3 - L2;
}

Watchlist for SuperTrend Crossover

Please check this out to see if it works to pull up the correct charts or not... let me know... Markos
🎯 or fail?

Code:
# WatchList for SuperTrend Crossover

input AtrMult = .7;
input nATR = 4;
input AvgType = AverageType. Hull;

def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;
def ATR = MovingAverage(AvgType, TrueRange(h, c, l), nATR);
def UP = hl2 + (ATRmult * ATR);
def DN = hl2 + (-ATRmult * ATR);
def ST = if c < ST[1] then Round(UP / TickSize(), 0) * TickSize() else Round(DN / TickSize(), 0) * TickSize();
def count = if c crosses below ST then 1 else if c < ST then count[1] + 1 else if c crosses above ST then 1 else if c > ST[1] then count[1] + 1 else count[1];
AddLabel(1, count, color.black);
AssignBackgroundColor(if c < ST then Color.Red else Color.Green);

Hi Markos,
Can you please tell me how to save this is in a watchlist ?
Give yourself a head start by going thru the tutorials, Start here: There is 1 if not 2 videos inside here to help

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/how-to-drive-the-tos-scanner.284/
Basically, you will put in as a scan and then create a dynamic watchlist that will update every 3 minutes with changes!

2 quick questions so that I don't talk down to you: Roughly, how long have you been investing/trading? How long w ToS?

Thanks, Markos
 
@macieman cool! With ToS, you are entitled to a free tour. Have 10 or so q's ready to ask. They will go over the complete ThinkorSwim program. Just call the regular support line to set up a time. Welcome again, tell others...
 
Changing the colors in settings doesn't change the bar colors, which seem to get their colors from a function: GetColor(5) or GetColor(7).

What would be the number for green?
 
Thanks

Dark Theme = 6 (Green)
Light Theme = 9 (Green)
Code:
104 AssignPriceColor(if PaintBars and close < ST
105   then GetColor(5)
106     else if PaintBars and close > ST
107       then GetColor(6)
108          else Color.CURRENT);

Hi guys, I'm a bit late to the party I see. I'm trying to get the above watchlist scan to work, but I can't get it to work. I don't get any errors when I import the code, it's when I try using the study as a scan that I can't get it to work. can someone spare a little time to get me straightened out? thanks -tom
 
I have copied the link for the Supertrend and RSI Laguerre and used the boolean operator on the plot. The plot looks ok but when I try to convert the signal to a scan, I am facing problems. IS there a code for a scan? If not, if I manually enter the scan and call the study, in the condition editor should I put the Buy as true within 1 bar? If enter the above condition, it shows no matches. Please advise next step. Thanks
