Triple Exhaustion Indicator For ThinkOrSwim

Looking to catch the PYPL knife, let's see if this daily candle prints this buy signal today. TMO is aligned.

Try combining this with the True Momentum Oscillator. Wait for the alignment of the two to minimize the fakeouts.
I'm pretty sure TMO will always be overbought/oversold when the triple exhaustion signal goes off. Not sure it will eliminate many false signals unless you're using TMO on a higher time frame.

that seems that is how it is playing out...do you have any other suggestions?

Sure, TMO can be oversold for quite some time without giving a buy signal. You are looking for a buy signal on TMO, not just oversold. I'm a swing trader so I am using these indicators on a daily chart. No idea about the lower time frames, have no interest.
 
I think TMO is a great complement to Triple Exhaustion, at least from my initial backtesting. When both line up on the 10min for example, that´s a strong signal.

Yes, the key is to wait for the buy signal for both. Just using oversold on TMO is nonsense

Exactly, it´s the signal you want to wait for to line up on both indicators and i even blanked out the OB & OS part of the code on my TMO study and then overlaid only the signal lines on the upper chart which makes the signals even more clear to see. I like it a lot on the 10min timeframe but also the 4/5min works well.

Gotcha. I've only used a version of TMO on Sierra and there are no entry signals. What are the entry signals for your TMO? MA cross or cross out of overbought/oversold? Although even with the entry signals I'd imagine there'd be a lot of overlap between the studies, perhaps too much to be a meaningful filter.
 
Triple Exhaustion Indicator For ThinkOrSwim
This is a pretty powerful indicator showing buy and sell exhaustion (MACD, Stochastic and DMI all in an extreme condition). When the exhaustion ends, expect a reversal. Thank you @cos251 for the code!

I've made some small modifications to better approximate the color system of the original study. Also, there are no buy/sell entry signals for the extreme condition, so I got rid of those as well.

Hello @skaboy et. al,

I am pretty new to this thinkscript thing and wondering if your Smoothed Heikin_Ashi_Moving_Average_S2 ThinkScript could be coded for conditional orders also? If so, please provide the code for using for Conditional Order, or provide suggestions on how it can be done? I like the entries and exits, and if used in conjunction with the SuperTrend Reversals and some other unique strategies here would be so very helpful. Most of these complex coding cannot be used for Conditional Orders, and wondering if your strategy is simple enough to be used for that purpose in addition to displaying on the charts. Thank you.

Boua.
sorry, can't help you with conditional orders I not done coding of these. Am sure if you search"Conditional Order" on this pages there are tutorials and examples.
 
Yes, if you want the vertical lines for the signals, add this code at the bottom just below "def BUYsignal" and "def SELLsignal"

Code:
addverticalline(BUYsignal,"Buy",color.green,curve.short_dash);
addverticalline(SELLsignal,"Sell",color.red,curve.short_dash);

Then if you want to add the lines to upper chart, i also recommend to blank out all the code related to "addcloud" using # in the sourcecode which will remove the OB & OS cloud. Also don´t forget to uncheck all the boxes in the plot section of settings. Then just force the lower study up and you will have the lines there like in my screenshots.
 
Nevermind, figured it out.

To those interested, use the addverticalLine function.

Here`s a modified upper study TMO with vertical lines.


# TMO ((T)rue (M)omentum (O)scilator)
# Mobius
# V01.05.2018
# hint: TMO calculates momentum using the delta of price. Giving a much better picture of trend, tend reversals and divergence than momentum oscillators using price.

declare Upper;

input length = 14;
input calcLength = 5;
input smoothLength = 3;

def o = open;
def c = close;
def data = fold i = 0 to length
with s
do s + (if c > getValue(o, i)
then 1
else if c < getValue(o, i)
then - 1
else 0);
def EMA5 = ExpAverage(data, calcLength);
def Main = ExpAverage(EMA5, smoothLength);
def Signal = ExpAverage(Main, smoothLength);

def zero = if isNaN(c) then double.nan else 0;

def ob = if isNaN(c) then double.nan else round(length * .7);

def os = if isNaN(c) then double.nan else -round(length * .7);
#___________________________________________________________________add_on
def BUYsignal =Main < OS and Main crosses above Signal;
def SELLsignal = Main > OB and Main crosses below Signal;

addverticalline(BUYsignal,"Buy",color.green,curve.short_dash);
addverticalline(SELLsignal,"Sell",color.red,curve.short_dash);

# End Code TMO
 
Check to see if all criteria was coded as you indicated. Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Hello COS251! Your code for Triple Exhaustion is much appreciated. I've been able to use the SCAN code to find triggers, however it's not working on a day timeframe. Any ideas how I could enable this? Thank you!
