In my watchlists I would like to add a column where I can see the values of the TTM Wave for each stock. Can someone assist with the code part? I know how to add columns to my watchlists, etc. Essentially I want to run a pre-market scan to see for example TTM Waves that are greater than +2 or less than -2 for example. I know how to build the scan but also want to add the TTM Wave values to my watchlist for easier sorting. Thanks!

welcome
i think you are looking at the wrong study.
they have similar names. mine has a _00b on the end.

mine has a drop down to pick one of the wave letters.
yours had 3 inputs.

I really liked the idea of creating more screen real estate by making the ABC Wave confluence a simple line on the chart. I created the Bearish condition to plot as well. This is my first attempt at coding anything, and for some reason it wouldn't work as one ThinkScript so my work-around was to create two separate studies (one bear, one bull) and then make the black lines (referred to as Neutral Waves) fully transparent by creating a Global Colors setting that can be manipulated. I then plotted it to the Squeeze indicator vs. the actual chart.
Photos for Reference
Notice lines on Squeeze Indicator:
Settings (make "Neutral Waves" fully transparent on both studies):
Code:
# Draw Vertical Signal when All Histogram Waves are above the Zero Line
DefineGlobalColor("Bullish Waves", Color.DARK_GREEN);
DefineGlobalColor("Neutral Waves", Color.Black);
AddVerticalLine(close, ”” , (if TTM_Wave()."Wave1" >0 and TTM_Wave()."Wave2high" >0 and TTM_Wave()."Wave2low" >0 then GlobalColor("Bullish Waves") else GlobalColor("Neutral Waves")));
Code:
# Draw Vertical Signal when All Histogram Waves are below the Zero Line
DefineGlobalColor("Bearish Waves", Color.Dark_RED);
DefineGlobalColor("Neutral Waves", Color.Black);
AddVerticalLine(close, ”” , (if TTM_Wave()."Wave1" <0 and TTM_Wave()."Wave2high" <0 and TTM_Wave()."Wave2low" <0 then GlobalColor("Bearish Waves") else GlobalColor("Neutral Waves")));Notice lines on Squeeze Indicator:

Good afternoon Members!
Seeking help with script for TOS scanner. Hopefully simple but still above what I'm able to do.
I utilize the TTM Wave (1) or A on my chart. Red and Yellow Histogram.
Looking for scanner code that identifies stocks where the histogram bar is changing today from red to yellow or trending better than the previous day.
Thanks!

plot YellowHistogram = TTM_Wave()."Wave1" is greater than TTM_Wave()."Wave1" from 1 bars ago;
plot RedHistogram = TTM_Wave()."Wave1" is less than TTM_Wave()."Wave1" from 1 bars ago;

Hi guys,
I am trying to create a ttm wave watchlist, with A,B and C above zero for going long or below zero for going short. with colored background. here is what I have so far:
def waveA = TTM_Wave().Wave1;
def abovezero = waveA > 0;
def belowzero = waveA < 0;
AssignBackgroundColor(
if abovezero and abovezero[1] then Color.GREEN
else if belowzero and !belowzero[1] then Color.RED
else color.black );
plot scan = abovezero && belowzero;
im trying to add below zero as well but, can't figure out how to do it. I would also want to add if its long or short. For example, it C wave is above zero it would be green and say long.
the watchlist is from Dr John Carter lecture timestamp 17:24.The Squeeze" by John F. Carter - As Seen on TradeStation TradingApp Store Showcase

Hi,welcome
i think you are looking at the wrong study.

yours had 3 inputs.
input wave = { default "A" , "B" , "C" };

is it possible to make this into a watchlist?
you will need to come up formulas for waves A, B, C before anything can be done.
ttm_wave has 3 plots
plot Wave1 =
plot Wave2High =
plot Wave2Low =
none of them are A , B, C
ttm_wave has 3 plots
plot Wave1 =
plot Wave2High =
plot Wave2Low =
none of them are A , B, C

it is unclear what you want to see.
i think you want a watchlist column?
3 main questions to answer,
1. where do you want to see something?
2. what do you want to see?
3. when do you want to see something?
1. i think watchlist column
2. i have no idea
3. when a crossing occurs
so, we have to figure out #2.
you want,
to track 3 variables,
a red or green on a crossing
count something...
i don't know what count consecutive means? count what? when?
i don't know if you want 3 separate columns to track each plot variable?
or all combined into 1 column?
---------------------------
this is a lower study, that should help you decide what you want to see.
it combines all 3 plot signals into 1 label.
also has 3 separate labels.
the labels turn red or green on a crossing.
3 numbers show the count of bars , back to a recent crossing.
. they start at 1 or -1 on a crossing.
. positive numbers if a cross up
. negative numbers if a cross down

The script is proprietary. Without the script, it is not possible to modify the script.
There are many other non-proprietary scripts in this thread that you could adapt.
Here is how to create an MTF:

Can someone please explain how to interpret this? It looks like the yellow/red histogram is Wave A (the shortest term wave). Not clear to me if the blue/cyan histogram is Wave B or C. And it looks like the plotted line is none of the waves.
What I ended up doing is adding TOS default TTM_Wave script to the chart 3 times as lower panels so I could have each of wave A, B, and C plotted separately. According to some site I found, for:
Wave A: turn off plots for Wave2High and Wave2Low (Wave1 is Wave A)
Wave B: turn off plots for Wave1 and Wave2Low (Wave2High is Wave B)
Wave C: turn off plots for Wave1 and Wave2High (Wave2Low is Wave C)
Does anyone know if this is correct regarding TOS default TTM_Wave script? Since it's a TOS built-in script, the code is not available for viewing.

Your question was moved here. These thread contains a few attempts.
Hey halcyonguy i was curious if you know how the ttm_wave indicator works/have a replaca for it. i wasnt sure how to message you directly, so thats why im replying to this years old post. ive looked everywhere for a replaca but i cant find it (spent 10+ hours looking, another 30 trying to code it myself) and im compeletly lost. any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Here is the exact TTM_Wave code from thinkorswim. It’s a combo of all the fib macds. Took me a month to figure this out because of all the misleading and incorrect information about how the TTM_wave works.
declare lower;
def macd1 = ExpAverage(close, 8) - ExpAverage(close, 34);
def macd2 = ExpAverage(close, 8) - ExpAverage(close, 55);
def macd3 = ExpAverage(close, 8) - ExpAverage(close, 89);
def macd4 = ExpAverage(close, 8) - ExpAverage(close, 144);
def macd5 = ExpAverage(close, 8) - ExpAverage(close, 233);
plot Wave1 = macd1;
Wave1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
Wave1.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
def w2high =
if macd1 >= macd2 and macd1 >= macd3 and macd1 >= macd4 and macd1 >= macd5 then macd1
else if macd2 >= macd1 and macd2 >= macd3 and macd2 >= macd4 and macd2 >= macd5 then macd2
else if macd3 >= macd1 and macd3 >= macd2 and macd3 >= macd4 and macd3 >= macd5 then macd3
else if macd4 >= macd1 and macd4 >= macd2 and macd4 >= macd3 and macd4 >= macd5 then macd4
else macd5;
def w2low =
if macd1 <= macd2 and macd1 <= macd3 and macd1 <= macd4 and macd1 <= macd5 then macd1
else if macd2 <= macd1 and macd2 <= macd3 and macd2 <= macd4 and macd2 <= macd5 then macd2
else if macd3 <= macd1 and macd3 <= macd2 and macd3 <= macd4 and macd3 <= macd5 then macd3
else if macd4 <= macd1 and macd4 <= macd2 and macd4 <= macd3 and macd4 <= macd5 then macd4
else macd5;
plot Wave2High = w2high;
Wave2High.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
Wave2High.SetLineWeight(2);
plot Wave2Low = w2low;
Wave2Low.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
