Trust The Levels - Trade Options In ThinkOrSwim

Join useThinkScript to post your question to a community of 21,000+ developers and traders.

Can you be more specific as to when you're entering and when you're exiting? I gotta give you props for being passionate about the strategy and about trying to help the community

Level to level Jose watch the price action around the orange deviation lines and you will see it, this is a very precise chart set up

Reaaaally interested in this. Using the "Today Only" version but my 2 min chart does NOT look like your 2 min chart? Anything wrong with the code?
 
Metal, have you tested the setup on any weekly plays? will the anchor times need adjusting?
No I haven't but it would be pretty cool to setup a swing trade option. The LRC would most likely need to be set at a week or so back for it to work this way. If you figure something out, let us know.
 
Todays Trades! This is getting crazy but awesome. I will ride this train until it jumps the tracks.
I missed a few really great setups. MSFT, AAPL, COIN, MRNA, and a few others. They all would have been great!

hate to be a basher but marking up charts in hindsight is meaningless show real entry's and real pl if your going to boast
I do in my videos. You do not have to trust. That is okay with me. I am marking up for those that would like to learn and try this system. If you do not want to, then do not participate. You should try it though. It works. I have not had a losing DAY since I have started using this.
BTW, This is an interesting comment from a VIP and 2019 donor??? Everyone that is trying to help others on this forum, provide marked up charts as that is the easiest way to show how to use their system/idea. I have not seen you ask others to provide P/Ls and trade entries. Very odd. must have rattle your cage or something. Here is AMZN, my first trade.

Let's give a shoutout to @METAL!

He joined the forum two years ago, today!

Like many rookies, he danced with the devil of repainters and wrestled in attempts to make lagging moving averages profitable during his trading journey.

But unlike many rookie traders, who end up in the 97% failure club, @METAL didn't just ask questions, he interrogated them (seriously, he could've given Sherlock a run for his money). Through sheer grit and endless queries, he's joined that elite club of new traders who are successful.

This strategy has risen to one of the top 15 participated in strategies of all-time, in three months!

Kudos, to @METAL


Quick heads-up: Our current bullish rallies—the Santa Claus and the ongoing one—are flexing some serious muscle, akin to those powerhouse rallies back in the '80s and '90s.

Trending strategies? They're the golden ticket during these bullish bonanzas. But, uh, once the party's over? Not so much.

Recap: 2022 was a bear hug, and while the first 10 months of 2023 played the bullish card; it was with a shallow deck. Translation? Market gains rode on the backs of a handful of wild high-growth stocks, while the rest snoozed.

But hey, buckle up for the current rally—it's got all the bells and whistles. Market depth? Check. Strong job market? Double check. Companies ditching the recession talk for juicy earnings reports and optimistic future guidance? Checkmate.

Oh, but remember, even in bull markets, there are pullbacks—like last February's overheating episode. But fear not, it's still prime time to ride that trend strategy wave.

For newer traders:
@METAL setup in this thread has all the elements for a good basic strategy.
@csricksdds also provides instructions for a sound setup:
