Ward's $TICK, $TRIN, $TIKQ, $TRINQ and $VIX RadarScreen Indicator

[Robert2617 10]

After the recent drop in the market, I heard one of the market mavens on TV talking about "The VIX" market indicator. It sounded interesting to me so I coded it into Ward's_TnT_Zone. Then a light bulb went off and I rewrote the whole thing in a more efficient way, hence the new name of the indicator.

 

The old indicator still works but this one is better.

 

With this indicator you can track $TICK, $TRIN, $TIKQ, $TRINQ and $VIX.x all in one little RadarScreen. I have preset each one to the recommended alert levels but you can adjust them to your preferences via user inputs. If the item(s) you are tracking is within a bullish zone, you get a green light. If it is in a bearish zone you get a red light. If it is in a neutral zone, you get yellow. The precise increment number is also plotted on the indicator as well as whether it is rising or falling.

 

Good luck with your trading!

Nice post Robert. The Put/Call ratio ($wpcva) would be a nice addition. Thanks again.

You will need Tradestation, radarscreen and data feed subscriptions, then import the indicator above. https://www.tradestation.com/fees/subscription_op.shtm

Maybe I am stupid but I dont get the indicator to work in my datawindow for TS. Can someone help me

[ddavis8704 10]

Help please? How can I reference the current values of Trin, Tick and/or Vix (say for Nasdaq) in code for another symbol? I can see the values right there in my Quotes window but cannot figure out how to refer to them programmatically (like say with a $Trin() function).

Thanks!

- Wards is an indicator, but it's a RadarScreen. Once the ELD is imported, how do I open it?

- Also, is there a way to use the issues in a RadarScreen as inputs to a study?
