Does anyone on here use think or swim and have any of the great indicators coded like we have for tradestation.

I would be interested in VWAP and 3bar trend mainly.
Also maybe a value chart, ttm trend, ttm scalper alert.
I don't know that it would be an option but a volume by price/price histogram.

Thanks guys

Bump.

Anybody using TOS even?

I tried it out last year, I actually didn't even realize they have a scripting engine.
That's very interesting. Does it do backtesting on options?
I think it could be tough to find the stuff you want without coding it yourself though.

They do have custom coding...I'm no good at coding so I would have to beg or pay someone to do the dirty work if it's not easily ported over.

I believe they are talking of backtesting soon being added, though I don't use them yet so I can't confirm that.

...here is TTM squeeze...
....
declare lower;
input Length = 20;
input price = close;
######################
def e1 = (Highest(High, length) + Lowest(low, length)) / 2 + Average(close, length);
def osc = Inertia(price - e1 / 2, length);
plot oscp = osc;

def diff = reference bollingerbands(length = 20)."upperband" - reference KeltnerChannels."Upper_Ba nd";
plot mid = 0;
mid.assignValueColor(if diff >= 0 then Color.UPTICK else Color.DOWNTICK);

#oscp.assignValueColor(if osc[1] < osc[0] then Color.CYAN else Color.magenta);
oscp.assignValueColor(if osc[1] < osc[0] then
if osc[0] >= 0 then
#UpPos
createColor(0, 255, 255) else
#UpNeg
createColor(204, 0, 204)
else if osc[0] >= 0 then
#DnPos
createColor(0, 155, 155) else
#DnNeg
createColor(255, 155, 255));

oscp.setPaintingStrategy( PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRA M);
mid.setPaintingStrategy(P aintingStrategy.POINTS);
...........
and here is VWAP
.....
plot Data = TotalSum(Volume * Close) / TotalSum(Volume);
................
and here is TICK
.............
declare lower;
plot data = high("$tick");
Plot Data2 = low("$tick");
plot ZeroLine = 0;
plot up = 800;
plot down = -1000;
Plot Noise = 600;
Plot Noise2 = -600;
zeroline.setDefaultColor( color.blue);
Noise.setDefaultColor(col or.yellow);
noise2.setDefaultColor(co lor.yellow);
up.setDefaultColor(color. uptick);
down.setDefaultColor(colo r.uptick);
data.assignValueColor(if data >= 800 then Color.upTICK else Color.blue);
data.setLineWeight(2);
Data.setPaintingStrategy( PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRA M);
data2.assignValueColor(if data2 <= -1000 then Color.downtick else Color.blue);
data2.setLineWeight(2);
Data2.setPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HISTOGR AM);
ZeroLine.setDefaultColor( GetColor(0));

Thanks...very cool. The squeeze doesn't load on the screen for some reason and it's red in the list of active indicators. Wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

Any ideas?

[elovemer]

try again ?

elovmer...same thing on my end still. Sorry to be a pain.
Has anybody else tried the code for squeeze and had it work? I've never had a custom indicator come up red in my list so I'm confused as to whats wrong.

Edit---
Found it...the space in code for "upper_ba nd" slipped by me. I deleted that space and shes good to go.

Thanks a bunch. Did you code these? I have one other indicator I miss from tradestation that I wonder about having coded for TOS.
