I would like to know if someone can convert in TS8 code. Your reward will be good for you and the group. I check and it's maching perfectly the indicator of ttm trend. By the way it's the real code from tradethemarkets.

thx philloo

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for but I have the TTM Scalper code.

inputs:

triggerPriceBuy(1000000),
trend(1),
_UP(1),
_DOWN(-1),
_ON(1),
_OFF(-1);

Here the file maby you have not correctly paste the code. With the file it should work. I use the esignal 10.3 version
