Can anyone help is changing this indicator with color? Its called True Strength Index. Its a built in indicator for TOS.

I would like True Strength Index colors to be:
  • Green is its moving upward above zero line
  • red if it moving downward below zero line
  • yellow color if it moving from negative value to positive value under zero line.
  • Purple color if it moving positive value to negative value above zero line.

input longLength = 25;
input shortLength = 13;
input signalLength = 8;
input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;

def diff = close - close[1];
def doubleSmoothedAbsDiff = MovingAverage(averageType, MovingAverage(averageType, AbsValue(diff), longLength), shortLength);

plot TSI;
plot Signal;

TSI = if doubleSmoothedAbsDiff == 0 then 0
      else 100 * (MovingAverage(averageType, MovingAverage(averageType, diff, longLength), shortLength)) / doubleSmoothedAbsDiff;
Signal = MovingAverage(averageType, TSI, signalLength);

plot ZeroLine = 0;

TSI.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
Signal.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(8));
Signal.hide();
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

How do you define "moving upward"?

red if it moving downward below zero line
Click to expand...

Define "moving downward"?

yellow color if it moving from negative to positive under zero line.

How do we get a positive value under 0?

Purple color if it moving positive to negative above zero line.

Same as above. How can the value go from positive to negative if it's still above 0?

Here is the best I can do. Green if above 0 and red if below .

Code: 
# True Strength Index

declare lower;

input longLength = 25;
input shortLength = 13;
input signalLength = 8;
input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;

def diff = close - close[1];
def doubleSmoothedAbsDiff = MovingAverage(averageType, MovingAverage(averageType, AbsValue(diff), longLength), shortLength);

plot TSI;
plot Signal;

TSI = if doubleSmoothedAbsDiff == 0 then 0
      else 100 * (MovingAverage(averageType, MovingAverage(averageType, diff, longLength), shortLength)) / doubleSmoothedAbsDiff;
Signal = MovingAverage(averageType, TSI, signalLength);

plot ZeroLine = 0;

TSI.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
Signal.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(8));
Signal.hide();
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

TSI.AssignValueColor(if TSI > 0 then color.green else color.red);

Hi Benten,
Your scrip is amazing. Can you create another code for the watchlist column?
Thanks

Once again... for the forgetful.. how does one set a Alert, on a watch-list, using only this True Strength Index, for crossover from negative to positive.
I find a very significant different ranging on charting due to 'Average type settings and time frames on the TOS main chart and the number for the watchlist True strength index number... this difference between 'watch-list and main TOS charting has always eluded me where numbers are never the same in my setups. Perhaps a builtin divergence unavoidable?
2 questions, so I might be confusing.

This indicator Is excellent. Can anyone help me with a scan for when the chart shows the arrows? In the condition wizard I set it to show when "arrow down is true" but doesn't seem to be working.
 
@Mrq77 The way the arrow statements are written could be messing up your ability to scan for them because they are set to print on the 0 line and the scanner says that 0 means false so it might not be returning results???

My Work-A-Round: Arrows plot when Hist crosses above 0 (bullish) or crosses below 0 (bear).
Set your scanner to look for Hist crosses above 0. When I ran it on a 15min agg, it got over 1000 equities that fit that condition

Thank you very much this is exactly what I was looking for. I was conditioning the histogram against the zero line in the indicator instead just crossing over a value of 0.0.

Here is the one Ive used. It should be mostly the same as what @BenTen and I set up for you a few months ago. The Histogram and the two lines are included. I have also included the Longweak and Shortweak made by @rad14733 using and ergotic calculation, because I personally have found it helpful and reasonably accurate.

If this is not what you want Ill be happy to help you change it but it may be slow work as my life has been extremely busy lately

def avgErgodic = MovingAverage(AverageType.SIMPLE, ErgodicOsc, 8);

Hi! I have a paint bar in TradeStation that paints bars green / red based on change in momentum in TSI (True Strength Index). It probably is pretty easy for someone to convert to TOS / thinkscript if someone feels like giving it a shot. Thanks in advance! I will include the TSI thinkscript code for reference below (keep in mind, I don't need to plot TSI) as well as the TradeStation paint bar easylanguage:

A. TOS Thinkscript (TSI):

declare lower;

input longLength = 25;
input shortLength = 13;
input signalLength = 7;
input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;

def diff = close - close[1];
def doubleSmoothedAbsDiff = MovingAverage(averageType, MovingAverage(averageType, AbsValue(diff), longLength), shortLength);

plot TSI;
plot Signal;

TSI = if doubleSmoothedAbsDiff == 0 then 0
else 100 * (MovingAverage(averageType, MovingAverage(averageType, diff, longLength), shortLength)) / doubleSmoothedAbsDiff;
Signal = MovingAverage(averageType, TSI, signalLength);

plot ZeroLine = 0;
plot MA = Average(TSI,5);
plot UpperLevel = 20;
plot LowerLevel = -20;

TSI.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);
Signal.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(8));
Signal.hide();
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));


B. TradeStation Paint Bar Easylanguage:

Inputs: Price(c), r(7), s(20), u(1), Zeroline(0), SmthLen(7),
upcolor(green), downcolor(red), linesize(1);

Value1= XAverage(TSI(Price, r, s, u), SmthLen);

plotPaintBar(h,l) ;

if Value1 > Value1[1] then
setplotcolor[0](1,upcolor)
else

if Value1 < Value1[1] then
setplotcolor[0](1,downcolor);

TSI Dashboard For ThinkOrSwim
Here is my TSI Dashboard.
You should be able to amend it to meet your needs.

This version is superior to the Tradestation code you listed. Your code only looks at above and below zero. This takes all the conditions into account.

I use the True Strength dashboard to weed out the false signals of other studies.

I thought you asked for the horizontal line. The study creates a paint bar. as shown in the lower study above.
Are you asking for the upper chart candles to paint? Because that wasn't part of the TradeStation code that you shared.

To paint the candles in the upper chart add the following to the script:
Ruby: 
AssignPriceColor(
    if bullish then Color.green else
        if bearish then Color.red else Color.GRAY);

If you don't want the lower study at all, remove these lines:
declare lower;

and
def bar = barNumber();

plot TSI_Dashboard = 0.00;
TSI_Dashboard.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

TSI Dashboard For ThinkOrSwim
Here is my TSI Dashboard.
You should be able to amend it to meet your needs.

This version is superior to the Tradestation code you listed. Your code only looks at above and below zero. This takes all the conditions into account.

I use the True Strength dashboard to weed out the false signals of other studies.

#A quick review of the BUY signals:
#1. TSI crosses above zero.
#2. TSI crosses above moving average.
#3. TSI makes higher low (below zero) while price makes a lower low

#And the SELL signals:
#1. TSI crosses below zero
#2. TSI crosses below moving average
#3. TSI makes a lower high (above zero) while price makes a higher high

@MerryDay Thank you very much! This is great. Can we make it as scanners: one for bullish, another for bearish?
