Hi optntdr13,

I would like to create a study that will allow me to graph a 90 day SMA of the Open, Close, High and Low and the 1 and 2 standard deviations for the Open, Close, High and Low of the past 90 days.

In total there will 5 lines the +2SD, +1SD, 90 day SMA, -1SD and -2SD. I do not want the Open, Close, High and Low graphed separately, rather, I want to use the average of them instead of the closing price.

I attached the excel spreadsheet I put together of this information if it will help you out. If you can help me with this it would be a great help. Thank you!

you don't need a custom study for this, the BollingerBandSMA study built-in with ToS should give you what you need. add the study to your chart, then change the price type to Open or Close..etc .. the default is +/-2SD. add another study on top of it, and set the SD to +/-1SD and set it to same price type (Open, Close..etc). change the line colors and pattern until you get best visualization and you should be good to go,

cheers, RedK

This is very close to what I want, however, it is not exactly what I am looking for. I made a mistake in my prior post.

I want to use the standard deviation of the open, high, low and close prices for the past 90 days, rather than standard deviation of the average of those 4 prices for the past 90 days (price type = (O+C+H+L)/4). So where the bollinger bands are using 90 price points to determine the standard deviation, I want it to calculate 360 price points over the past 90 days.

Does this clarify? Thank you for your response

@jetablack4, methematically both are the same ..
Average of the 360 points, is the same as the 90-period average of the average of the 4 points. so you can safely use a BB of the length you need, and set the price type to (H+L+C+O)/4

you can test this in your spreadsheet to validate .. from there you can decide what is the SMA and which BB you'd like to use,

hope this helps,

Hello T13
I am new to this forum and this is my first question did look around the site for
the answer but no luck additionally did some internet search and Tos learning
center and found some content on subject but in my opinion it was not complete.

A exact video or typed explanation and execution of trailing stops on single call or put options on the thinkorswim platform would be most appreciated.
I am about 90 % in the know with respect to previous queries I just cant fully understand

This problem has stopped my ability to move forward in a trading system that fits my style.

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this question

Respectfully

Hi RedK,

I have a Metastock code that applies a 20EMA to an Average True Range (20) on a histogram.
Can you help code this for TOS? Here's the code, as shared in a webinar:

0-(ATR(20)-Mov(ATR(20),20,E))

Would appreciate your assistance.

Hi Hi optntdr13.
Thanks for your effort helping other traders .
I find most of the traders biggest weakness to let profit run . Im looking for trailing stop for TOS. Ex AAPl So if Im in with 20 contracts I wont to sell first 10 at +0.2 and trail the rest 10 at 0.3 .I do this manually but in a fust moving market its to much and I tend to take profits prematurely . If you have some thing like this or similar it would be great . Or I can pay you to cod it.
Thanks in advance

hi
Would it be possible to route a signal from a TOS strategy to place the trades at another broker through ninja trader ?
I like a strategy in TOS, but the strategies wont allow you to actually place the trade at TOS. I dont understand the purpose of the strategies if you cant actually use them !

anyway, is something like that possible ?

I asked this question in the TOS thinkscript chat room and was lectured about asking questions about "other" platforms.

TOS has so many obstacles for futures trading, IMO.

thanks

I just wanted to let folks know that if you are looking for something specific, chances are I have it or wrote it and am more than happy to share with any and all. If you would like to have any T.....D......ARK stuff, I have coded almost every single one of them but won't share publically due to the maketstudies goons

I will however send via PM or e-mail and am happy to do so.

Hi optntdr-

Could you possibly develop a simple buy/sell strategy for the stock Momentum Bars. They work exceptionally well on high-flyers.

I just posted a boat load of screenshots on another TOS thread.

Much appreciation.

TIA.

Hi Redk, thanks for the trade ribbon indicator. I'm working on translating it to NT. The idea of taking another average on the WMA looks very interesting and helpful when graphically shown. Could be a nice scalping indicator.

TOS is one of the best all-for-one platforms today I would agree. It was my first broker and platform. They recently opened up new commodity futures and other chat rooms yesterday where live audio can be heard from the pit floor.

RedK

@Cloudy, thanks for that .. i know some on the forum will appreciate your effort converting to NT ..

another intriguing concept i also looked at is to use a single WMA of some length and combine it with same WMA length but shifted by one period. You get signals from the crossing..

a quick note, in the Trader_Ribbon, the Mid line has a big role though, as it acts as a "reversal threshold" .. so can be used to indicate exit loss levels.

glad you find value in that concept,
RedK

TOS is one of the best …

I got to finishing up a indicator dual average of WMA with a ribbon option for NT. It's similar in idea to the original tRibbon for TOS by @RedK . Here at:

Download: K_TraderRibbon_v1 for ToS

Update: see journal link below for more details on using K_Tarder_Ribbon in multi timeframe. https://nexusfi.com/trading-journals/21136-learning-journal-redk-trading-options-3.html This study was inspired by the 9/30 method setup... hope …

But I like the settings in this one also. Credit to modified code of Fat Tail's triggerlines indicator:

Download: Trigger Lines

Exported using NT 7.0.1000.15 This is a simple implementation of the trigger lines which can be used as a trend filter. The trigger lines are composed of a linear regression indicator (LinReg) and a signal line, which is calculated as the exponential …

Fat Tails

First MA is EMA(5) of WMA(7).
Second MA is EMA(4) of WMA(30).

Then there is the option to switch it to a ribbon. Settings to do so are shown in the .jpg ; Enjoy.
