Turtle Trade Channels Indicator(TuTCI) for ThinkOrSwim

can anyone provide me with instructions on how to create a watchlist that would signal when this indicator triggers in either direction?

Here is the basic structure. Clean it up, and modify it to your needs.
If you are utilizing the MTF option, the watchlist will not match your charts.
The ToS platform does not support the use of multiple timeframes in Watchlists, Scans, Chart Alerts, Conditional Orders.

OMG Thank you so much! Is this for daily chart?
Click to expand...
  • The aggregation is selected when you edit the watchlist
  • Nothing in the script precludes it being used on any timeframe
  • A Google search determines that the Turtle Strategy was created to run on the daily aggregation.
hope this helps
 
Here is the strategy version so you can see the performance.

I added to the below more setting to remove/add lines and signals with option to use the indicator in different timeframe.

Release Note:
Legendary trade system which proved that great traders can be made, not born.
Turtle Trade Experiment made 80% annual return for 4 years and made 150 million $
Turtle Trade trend following system is a complete opposite to the "buy low and sell high" approach.
This trend following system was taught to a group of average and normal individuals, and almost everyone turned into a profitable trader.
They used the basis logic of well known DONCHIAN CHANNELS which developed by Richard Donchian .
The main rule is "Trade an 20-day breakout and take profits when an 10-day high or low is breached ". Examples:
Buy a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day low.
Go short a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day high.
In this indicator,
The red line is the trading line which indicates the trend direction:
Price bars over the trend line indicates uptrend
Price bars under the trend line means downtrend
The dotted blue line is the exit line.

Original system is:
Go long when the price High is equal to or above previous 20 day Highest price.
Go short when the price Low is equal to or below previous 20 day Lowest price.
Exit long positions when the price touches the exit line
Exit short positions when the price touches the exit line
Recommended initial stop-loss is ATR * 2 from the opening price.

Default system parameters were 20,10 and 55,20.

Original Turtle Rules:

To trade exactly like the turtles did, you need to set up two indicators representing the main and the failsafe system.
Set up the main indicator with EntryPeriod = 20 and ExitPeriod = 10 (A.k.a S1) (My comments: Good for Swing - Long timeframe)
Set up the failsafe indicator with EntryPeriod = 55 and ExitPeriod = 20 using a different color. (A.k.a S2) (My comment: Good for intraday - Short timeframe)
The entry strategy using S1 is as follows

Buy 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
Sell 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
If last signaled trade by S1 was a win, you shouldn't trade -Irregardless of the direction or if you traded last signal it or not-

The entry strategy using S2 is as follows:
Buy 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is rallying without you
Sell 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is pluging without you

You can Highlight the chart with provided trade signals:

Green cloud color when Long
Red cloud color when Short
No cloud color when flat

Could you add an input to turn odd the long or turn off the short so there both not on the chart?

Hi, Is it possible you can take another look at this code? It doesn't seem to be matching up with the (strategy) Example I only use this strategy on the Daily time frame-I just got a short entry lable on the chart but it is not reflected on the watch list?

No, there is not a way to make the MTF indicator plot like the non-MTF due to the repainting of the MTF

I added to the below more setting to remove/add lines and signals with option to use the indicator in different timeframe.

Release Note:
Legendary trade system which proved that great traders can be made, not born.
Turtle Trade Experiment made 80% annual return for 4 years and made 150 million $
Turtle Trade trend following system is a complete opposite to the "buy low and sell high" approach.
This trend following system was taught to a group of average and normal individuals, and almost everyone turned into a profitable trader.
They used the basis logic of well known DONCHIAN CHANNELS which developed by Richard Donchian .
The main rule is "Trade an 20-day breakout and take profits when an 10-day high or low is breached ". Examples:
Buy a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day low.
Go short a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day high.
In this indicator,
The red line is the trading line which indicates the trend direction:
Price bars over the trend line indicates uptrend
Price bars under the trend line means downtrend
The dotted blue line is the exit line.

Original system is:
Go long when the price High is equal to or above previous 20 day Highest price.
Go short when the price Low is equal to or below previous 20 day Lowest price.
Exit long positions when the price touches the exit line
Exit short positions when the price touches the exit line
Recommended initial stop-loss is ATR * 2 from the opening price.

Default system parameters were 20,10 and 55,20.

Original Turtle Rules:

To trade exactly like the turtles did, you need to set up two indicators representing the main and the failsafe system.
Set up the main indicator with EntryPeriod = 20 and ExitPeriod = 10 (A.k.a S1) (My comments: Good for Swing - Long timeframe)
Set up the failsafe indicator with EntryPeriod = 55 and ExitPeriod = 20 using a different color. (A.k.a S2) (My comment: Good for intraday - Short timeframe)
The entry strategy using S1 is as follows

Buy 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
Sell 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
If last signaled trade by S1 was a win, you shouldn't trade -Irregardless of the direction or if you traded last signal it or not-

The entry strategy using S2 is as follows:
Buy 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is rallying without you
Sell 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is pluging without you

You can Highlight the chart with provided trade signals:

Green cloud color when Long
Red cloud color when Short
No cloud color when flat

@samer800 Could you provide the code or make an update for a label on the chart for the upper left corner for Bullish when the system is a buy or Bearish when the system turns to a sell (for MTF as well if possible)?

Here's a decent write up on the Turtle method:

This is wonderful...
Especially the calming practice of being so balance that you only take a trade if the last trade FAILED .... 😌
Of course this would not work with a coin toss as the odds of tossing a fair coin are always 50% heads 50% tails; and the odds of tossing a coin to get the same side multiple times are related to powers of 2....

The "turtle trading" implies that your methods and strategies are so balanced that you can enter with confidence after a trade failed and expect reasonable odds, rather than trying to investigate your model to worry about what went wrong...
Click to expand...

Of course we don't have to copy the exact same model that the turtles used and we don't have to model an expectation of win, loss, win, loss as the turtles did.

We could go [ _____ market ] expect fake outs so enter after second failure....
(loss, do nothing win, loss, loss, enter win )

😌 It truly doesn't get any less stressful than waiting for your strategy to fail while you are NOT in the market.
@HODL-Lay-HE-hoo!
