Repaints Trend Reversal for ThinkorSwim

[imenmyself1234]

@BenTen Hi benten, can you pls tell me how can i replace that Reversal bubble with an arrow.

@spencepuppy I'm currently using our Buy the Dip indicator to trade. Although it's designed for swing trading, some of our members have been using it to day trade. You can take a look at this thread to learn more.

I've been considering purchasing it. I know it doesn't repaint, but is it delayed or lag by a certain amount of bars?

@spencepuppy Our Buy the Dip indicator does not lag or delay.

Recently joined and was happy to find some cool indicators so I wanted to share one of my own that I've been using to confirm bull or bear markets in a given time frame. I find that this has worked extremely well for me especially when you overlay Fisher Transform and use both together. Also, if you use JC SqueezePro, it does a good job of forecasting which way the squeeze will fire.

Let me know if you have any questions.

@farout60 Thanks for sharing such simple and promising study. One thing I would like to ask if you can share mentioned JC SqueezePro study, as I did find it on forum, but willing to try.

You are asking for a member to share a paid indicator which is against forum rules...

 

[Bobbydigital83]

@farout60 Can this be coded not to repaint?

 

[BenTen]

@Bobbydigital83 No. If you compare it to the trend reversal posted on the first page of this thread, they're essentially the same.

Even don't know that this study is not free one. Sorry for that thing!

No problem... John Carter sells indicators, whether totally coded by him or "borrowed" free code from others that he tweaks (or not) and sells on his site... Some people share freely while others are just out to make a buck any way they can...

 

[Bobbydigital83]

In the coding... what exactly do these 4 parameters do?
1. Percentage Reversal
2. Absolute Reversal
3. ATR Length
4. ATR Reversal

def EI = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh2, "price l" = pricel2, "percentage reversal" = percentamount, "absolute reversal" = revAmount, "atr length" = atrlength, "atr reversal" = atrreversal);

Check the ZigZagHighLow indicator that comes with TOS for the answer to that... You won't find the answer in the script posted above as it references ZigZagHighLow as an external Thinkscript study...

@Joreha I tried to. But ThinkorSwim said it's too complex to work in real-time. I'll continue to look into it for now.

@BenTen Hi ben i know this is an old post but when adding this link into the scrip for scanner it states 'Exactly one plot to be expected' at bottom left coner and wont let me to click to ok it...is there another step I'm missing? https://tos.mx/vlVadom

Never mind, for some reason it is working now.

I have been using the following indicator (Trend Reversal) in the scanner and it's been working just fine. Now for some reason it doesn't want to co-operate and it is producing this error message. Error: Trying to self-assign a non-initialized rec: state.

Since I am not a coder, I don't know how to resolve this.

@farout60 I really like this indicator from a directional standpoint. I've been looking for something like this. I've been trying to figure out if this "re-paints" due to the 'Zig-Zag' feature. Are you able to let me know if it re-paints or not?

[Update] I have been watching both settings today: the average and high-low. Doesn't seem like the average re-paints at all, but the high-low does. Probably because of the moving average in the script that smoothes the average setting out. Correct me if I'm wrong lol.

@Shooters_Gotta_Shoot
Please see msg #1150 and #1151

 

[DEL7256]

@BenTen still can't get it work for some reason can u create the scan and share it...Please

 

[Shooters_Gotta_Shoot]

@Bobbydigital83 The best solution would probably be to use the moving averages ('mah' & 'mal') for selling. I made it so you can visualize the moving averages on the chart and helped a lot. Not good for buying for good for selling. Sell calls when 'close < mal' and sell puts when 'close > mah'. Seems like the best solution to me and works fairly well. All you need to do is figure out your buying criteria and use this to sell. The code below are the moving averages from @farout60 but now you can see them! Enjoy!

input method = {default average, high_low};

def percentamount = .01;
def revAmount = .05;
def atrreversal = 2.0;
def atrlength = 5;
def pricehigh = high;
def pricelow = low;
def averagelength = 5;
def averagetype = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
plot mah = MovingAverage(averagetype, pricehigh, averagelength);
plot mal = MovingAverage(averagetype, pricelow, averagelength);
def priceh2 = if method == method.high_low then pricehigh else mah;
def pricel2 = if method == method.high_low then pricelow else mal;
def EI = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh2, "price l" = pricel2, "percentage reversal" = percentamount, "absolute reversal" = revAmount, "atr length" = atrlength, "atr reversal" = atrreversal);

rec EISave = if !IsNaN(EI) then EI else GetValue(EISave, 1);
def chg = (if EISave == priceh2 then priceh2 else pricel2) - GetValue(EISave, 1);
def isUp = chg > 0;
def isDown = chg < 0;

@farout60 the squeeze pro is it the same as TTM squeeze?
