Is there a way to make this into a bot? auto trades using the script in this indicator with TDA API system? Also Does this website have such codes that people share here? Thanks
VTR is a momentum indicator that shows if a stock is overbought or oversold based on its Weekly and Monthly average volatility trading range.
For sure. In my experience the times the reversals actually work on the 1 minute are more times than the repaints. So getting stopped out 2 times trying to find a true reversal is small compared to the 30 cent plus move. Has that been your experience? What indicator has benefited you the most? For me it’s probably the volume buy sell. Helpful when reading price action.@EasyRantisi Welcome to the usethinkscript forums... While you may be initially impressed by this indicator, hopeflly you have read about it repainting and understand the risks... I wouldn't consider this indicator to be worthy of any form of auto-trading even if it was supported by Thinkorswim...There are only a couple of auto-trading adaptations mentioned here in these forums that use an API and Python... Use the site search feature to locate them... Most members who semi-automate their trades do so using Conditional Orders with custom Thinkscript embedded in them... You will also find that a vast majority of members here primarily scalp or day trade... Good luck...

I'm not that new to scanning and do it most every day. But for some reason I did what you said 1-8 and scanned saved the study and called it just like it say. But I get no results can anyone help out? I've tried limiting the search to NYSE or NAS and $10-20 stocks but no hits I even changed it from 1 bar ago to upto 3 bars ago and nothing. Not sure what I'm missing.@Picard to use the script in post# 1385 in the TOS scanner
Copy the code
In Studies, click Create
Paste the above study
Name the study: Trend_Reversal_Scanner
Save
Click on the scanner.
I didn't write this script. Any questions should be referred to the original poster. HTH

Did you manage to find something similar on tradingview? please let me know.Hi @BenTen , is this indicator available for Tradingview also?
@BenTen Is there a certain time to run scans? I ran one and got about 75 Stocks and tried running it since same scan and script errors out. Didn't know if the TOS Server was to busy or, figured if you have used it maybe you could give me some pointers? Like with in 3 bars or what ever thanks.... Just seems like I keep getting Error: Script Execution Timeout.@mikeraya Been using it for awhile.
