Volatility Box Indicator for ThinkorSwim

input pricecolor = no;
AssignPriceColor(if pricecolor and dnarrow then Color.white else Color.current);
AssignPriceColor(if pricecolor and uparrow then Color.cyan else color.current);

@Huffmac90 Try this:

input pricecolor = no;
AssignPriceColor(if pricecolor and dnarrow
then Color.WHITE
else if pricecolor and uparrow
then Color.CYAN
else Color.DARK_GRAY);

Hope this helps :)
 

Volatility Trading Range

VTR is a momentum indicator that shows if a stock is overbought or oversold based on its Weekly and Monthly average volatility trading range.

Download the indicator

@Huffmac90 What changes did you make? Are those changes reflected in the code you just posted? What settings are you currently using for the indicator?

@BenTen I just changed the price color code. Everything else is solid and reflected in the upper code. 153 to 155

input pricecolor = no;
AssignPriceColor(if pricecolor and dnarrow then Color.white else Color.current);
AssignPriceColor(if pricecolor and uparrow then Color.cyan else color.current);

Would like to get the supertrend painter code to work but I'm missing an Else statement 154:18
AssignPriceColor(if pricecolor then if dnarrow then Color.DOWNTICK else if uparrow then Color.GREEN else Color.GRAY);

Bare with me, dying from migraines today! hahaha
 
@Huffmac90 How do you identify the candles? You have the arrows identified... I think if you identified the candles in the same way you'd be done...

Let me check on some code and I'll get back to you once I'm done...

Hope you're feeling better :)
 
@Huffmac90 This indicator looks really cool. Can you confirm that it's not showing the top and bottom line after the fact? Looking at the 20d 15m. I have yet to find a single false signal. This usually mean the indicator will repaint or delay. You said you're currently using it. Can you confirm its not?

@Huffmac90:

Does this snippet/example hopefully help...

def long = SMI < 35 and mom > 0 and mom[1] < 0;
def short = SMI > 35 and mom < 0 and mom[1] > 0;

AssignPriceColor(if long then Color.GREEN else if short then Color.RED else Color.DARK_GRAY);

⚠ Caution: should not be used without a lower indicator set --> the Volatility Box's weakness (TOSindicator.com)

Most people wouldn't like it because the arrow appears on bottom and top level taps and is a little re-painterish. False signals are about 1 out of every 10 arrows. My current win rate is 87% using this with confirmation with my lower indicator set. candle painter works to color pivots like in person's pivots models. The original code was found in the onenote under review strategy section. The code is not perfect though because you still need to know the fundamentals of zone trading for it to be effective.

I like it for it's strengths though because I'm a zone strategy trader (Don Fron on YouTube uses zones) and this depicts them perfectly.

Okay, I was able to confirm that this indicator indeed will repaint, and the boxes will re-adjust itself based on the current price. I would be cautious of using it. ⚠

Here is NVDA that I just witnessed. I was watching it since it was coming down to the bottom of the box. In my mind, I would be expecting a bounce here. But then NVDA suddenly crashed, and the box gets adjusted to the low of day. This makes it really bad for trading in real-time.

Glad you're having success with it @Huffmac90 but I would advise everyone else to be careful with it.

Pay attention to the price (red bubble on the right). This indicator looks great in the after hours but not so much when you're day trading it live. Again, please be extremely cautious when using it.

With that though, any idea on how to paint those candles gray? Hahahaha, I'm going to keep using it because it matches my style perfectly but adding the gray candles would save me some trouble intra-zone.

I have a few people I'm teaching zone strategy already and this will help illustrate that.

@Gildes and @Billions can you look at it. you all might already have it done. will be good to fit/gap and publish a final version once you're all done with your reviews.

#END OF STUDY

@Gildes and @Billions can you look at it. you all might already have it done. will be good to fit/gap and publish a final version once you're all done with your reviews.
I'm gonna test it a little will get back to you

Something I'm chewing on now to fix the re-painter that people don't like. This uses the ADR (Average Daily Range) in sequence. just need to fit it better to current price action and boom: VBOX w/o repainter. Let me know what you guys think!
