Hi All,

I have been an avid reader of this forum for a while. I just thought I would contribute to an internet that I have taken so much from...

Here is a replica of Scalper Buys and Sells. As far as I can tell, it matches up perfectly. If you would like to use it along with the Heiken-Ashi paintbars, I recommend you set the plot thickness to at least two more than the thickness of the Heiken-Ashi (In the attached picture, the Scalper Indicator is set to 3 and the Heiken-Ashi is set to 1). Also, please note that candlesticks are not supported.

Bugs/feedback are appreciated. I hope you all enjoy. Happy Trading,

Luis

p.s. For those of you who like to use candlesticks, I also have a ShowMe version, which places a dot on the highs/lows...Let me know if there is interest.

Re: TTM Scalper Buys/Sell

This may be a dense question: But what are the settings for this? What triggers the signals? Thanks, and good work by the way.

For more info on how this indicator works, see this CBOT Online seminar by John Carter:

www.cbot.com/cbot/docs/71146.pdf

Here's a trading video on how Carter uses the indicator:

Traderlu, thanks for the paint bar study. Could you also post the show me you mentioned?

Re: TTM Scalper Buys/Sell

You are all very welcome Glad I could help.

Glenbee, I will be posting the ShowMe in a separate thread shortly.

As far as how the indicator actually works, John's description of "three higher closes" is a bit misleading. I disregarded this criteria in the code. It is merely based on swing highs/lows. I'll give an example for a Scalper Sell:

1. You get a high that's at least as high or higher than the previous two bars. This bar is a potential paintbar.
2. The next bar makes a lower high; The low of this bar is the trigger.
3. From here, if we do not make a higher high and we get a close below the trigger, we paint the swing high bar. Concept is simple but was a bit tricky to program (for me, at least).

By the way, I got this description from the following video:

Hope it helps!

Re: TTM Scalper Buys/Sell

I've been searching for this indicator for literally a month now. There are some similar .eld's floating around, but they are not identical to the Scalper indicator. Yours is. Thanks so much!!!
