Try this NQ Strategy + Code for ThinkorSwim

[BenTen]

@MatthewTherrien Most likely because of the following line:

myindicator.setHiding(if close>open(period="DAY") then 0 else 1);

 

[MatthewTherrien]

I should have added - I am using 1 min charts but happens on all my timeframes.

So removing myindicator.setHiding(if close>open(period="DAY") then 0 else 1); does make the indicator visible again - not sure what negative effect removing this line has?

@MatthewTherrien It's comparing the current price to the opening price of the stock. If close is less than open = hide.

Appreciate the fast reply - If close is less than open = hide - hide what? I do not code so it is not clear to me - but I appreciate your assistance very much

@MatthewTherrien It's causing the issue you reported recently.

The NQ Study keeps flashing - appearing and disappearing off chart. Any suggestions?

@AlgoTrader77 Hello Thanks for sharing. Is this still working for you? As market is more range bound what strategy are you using now? Can you share some insights ? thanks!

No the 2 min primarily using waves theory but no elliot. I try to catch the major/minor waves at tops and bottoms. very successful using the top bottom strategy I intend to run this tomorrow I like it. I put a link to your posting on my page here.

I also trade the SPY on the 2 min chart and was wondering what you use for the Waves Theory ?

[MatthewTherrien]

@tradeidea20 I traded NQS throughout the day and into the evening. I was setting the SL 3 points above or below the entry candle

Sometimes I use brackets - like 5 TP SL 3 or I let the trade run and take a few points

Can someone help code when the line changes color?

Hello everyone. Sorry for the lack of response. My oldest son passed away and I have not been online for 5 or 6 months. We spent a lot of time in front of the markets over the years and it has been a hard thing to get back to. But I know he would want me to keep going. We started some trading projects together and I am hoping to finish them. He was on this site under the name @MikelL. Some of you helped him with some coding questions and I really appreciate that. He picked it up very quickly and I appreciate those of you who responded to his requests.

I took the time to go through the posts on here. A couple of the questions that were directed to me I answer. But most I have not since they seemed to have been resolved. But if I missed something, let me know.

I will just boil this down and say that this strategy is a no brainer strategy for volatile markets. Especially markets like we experienced during the “COVID crash”, as I like to call it. You definitely do NOT want to be using something like this when we are sideways / tight range bound. Unless of course your goal is to make your broker rich and give money away to the market ¯\(ツ)/¯ When the market has a case of the “runs” … it’s a GO!!

@Billions (from March 25, 2020) I have not used this with a tick chart. Maybe try 612. Not sure.

@Rukkit (from April 9, 2020) I don’t use too many indicators. I use geometry, “market measurements”, and specific types of S/R. These have been the most accurate for producing precise entry’s/exits – at least for me.

@adii800 (from December 23, 2020) Phenomenal you automated this!! I’ll have to give it a run!! Let me know if you want another project. It’s more for accounts $100K+ but it does extremely well and in some ways is as “simple” as this one and works in all types of markets and market conditions.

@AlgoTrader77 I'm so sorry for your loss, please accept my deepest condolences.

 

[AlgoTrader77]

Thank you @BenTen

@AlgoTrader77 So sorry to hear that man. If you wouldn't mind, I'd be interested to hear about this other system you mentioned that is good for all markets.

 

[AlgoTrader77]

@Chence27 Thank you... Yes, let me see if I can get this automated first. Can be done manually but really is best automated to take advantage of all of the markets movements. It can be used on any market, including Crypto. I wish TOS would offer crypto trading like is available on Kraken. This has been doing several thousand points per day on Bitcoin (lately) and I would love to just turn it on!! Today was it's "worst" day on the ES but still pulled $425.11 on micros after commissions and $5,060.50 after commissions on regular eMinis. Not bad but about half or less than a normal day. Anyway... I'm hoping @adii800 or maybe @BenTen would be interested

Sounds good! My curiosity is eating me now lol. Feel free to let us know how it works in the meantime. Even manually I'd love to know how it works.
