Thanks Tanman,. that was exactly what I needed. Next question I have is this, I am currently playing with Woodies CCI and there is a piece of the histogram that turns yellow after on the 4th bar indication a possible trend emergence. Is it possible to paint the bar a color or add another circle or square below or above the bar? "CCI Hist represents CCI values in histogram format: red coby bughatti - Trading Discussion
Just curious, but has anyone ever tried or is there a script that will mark a bar when either a certain amount of contracts have been sold or just a high number of contracts sold? For example, paint a circle or something under a bar when 10 contracts have been sold?by bughatti - Trading Discussion

Baffled1, thanks for the kind words, but I am by no means experienced! When I started looking into trading I found this forum above others to be most helpful so I try to ask a lot of questions to learn. I have never been in a trader chat room so i guess i did not see it as a place for inexperienced traders to poach the experienced ones. I do see were some people may not want to take away fby bughatti - Trading Discussion
Thanks Richie, I appreciate your input, just thought I would put it out there and see what others thoughtby bughatti - Trading Discussion
what about something along the lines of when RSI is above 90 or below 10 and SMA 4 crosses SMA 7by bughatti - Trading Discussion
not sure if its doable, but what I have scene every day since I have been on think or swim is that there are at least 4 good 5 point trends throughout the day, this is from 6 am CST when I get on all the way to 11pm CST when I go to bed. If I could catch at least 4 good 5 point runs, that would be great. Sorry if I am asking to much here, reign me back in if need be!!!!!!!by bughatti - Trading Discussion
Here is a 10d 30 min chart. My circles are a little off but as you can see a ppo cross below 10 and above 90 are good indicators, that is of coarse if I am even reading the charts right -------> still a nubby bughatti - Trading Discussion
NCT, thanks for the info. I am solely looking at futures right now and I do understand your point about looking outwards as much as possible. To me that is one of the biggest things I have learned with looking at multiple charts and market internals, getting the context of what the market as a whole and wider time frames are doing. I do understand many people will give many answers, as I haveby bughatti - Trading Discussion
I know there are a lot of smart people on this forum. I know a lot of you trade and chat out of other chat rooms but has anyone ever thought of making a RTT chat room?by bughatti - Trading Discussion
Baffled1, your code does seem to be spot on going to look at it from other time periodsby bughatti - Trading Discussion
When looking at larger time frames, what is the most justified time frames to compare. I can not seem to find a definitive answer on the internet about it. Currently I am using 1 min and 15 min. The biggest issue I find with 1 min charts are to much noise. Would a 5 min and 30 min be best, find the same trend direction on both and trade off the 5 min chart?by bughatti - Trading Discussion

All, I know this might stir up some fuss but I wanted to ask around about this. I am looking at this from a purely technical perspective with coding/software and nothing more. Has anyone tried playing around with very minimal indicators and creating automatic buy/sell orders based off of studies and actually had success? What I am testing is to find out if the larger auto buy/sell profitsby bughatti - Trading Discussion
All, thanks for the contributions in this thread. I know I am a bit late coming into this thread but I am trying to get my workspace setup with Darcy/MTUT's setup. I am replaying some of the script with on demand and it does not seem to be lining up just right.

Thank you all so much for the advice. I guess I am a bit confused by the term trading "stocks" I thought that is what I was doing? To me stocks is a generic term and even doing a search on google of trading stocks vs (anything else) does not explain very well. Would trading stocks be something along the line of staying within Nasdaq and S&P 500? or is it the time frame you decidby bughatti - Trading Discussion
Baffled1 & Tanman,thanks for the kind words. As I do not want to saturate this thread outside of its purpose, I will start a new thread and hope I can continue to get inputs. continued threadby bughatti - Trading Discussion
continued from Baffled1 & Tanman, again thanks for the inputs. When I started to do research about trading, almost all the data I was getting had to do with options. Being new maybe I am using the term options incorrectly? When I run a scan in thinkorswim, I select Scan in "All Options" Intersect with "All Symbols" I am guessing I probably need to learn alot moreby bughatti - Trading Discussion
Hello all and thanks to all who have contributed via scripts and information in this forum. I just decided last week to try my hand in trading. I play around in investopedia and have done ok and decided last Thursday to open a thinkorswim account. I have literally spent all possible hours I have outside of my day job to research and study. I ordered a couple of books I am reading and have watby bughatti - Trading Discussion
