Until we know what that is, we're stuck. Just my opinion. As shrewd as Tanman and Game0ver's code is, TR still has only a def and no further function whatsoever.

Game0ver, your code runs okay- and even looks useful. But what's still got me puzzled is "TR1" and "TR2".?? BTW, I don't think we can create histogram bars for a custom study anyway.

Yes, Bughatti- I think Tanman covered it all very well. But, uhhh, let me say this about that. As you can see from his post in the other thread, options is a complicated racket. Stocks are the safest way to start your career, especially with the starting values you've mentioned (which I think are 'wayyy too big to start, but none of my business).

Folks, my sincere apologies. After looking over the previous SAWTOOTH code I realized that it's not expressing what I intended, though it does seem to indicate trend change. So I spent the last four days and nights fixing it. What I meant to do was measure total sawtoothing of a given amplitude across a given period of time, and an average of those events across a given period of time.

In the previous post on Synthetic Trendlines, I showed how Hudson extinguished Price from the computation and kept only Time, i.e., his Second General Case. In that case, we saw that Time gave us support and resistance (S/R) for Price. Now let's deal with the First General Case, wherein Time is excluded- and perhaps we'll see that Price gives us certain upper and lower limits on Time. In effect,by baffled1 - Trading Discussion
Almost forgot about those /CL Hourly forecasts from a couple posts ago. Results: All 11 inflections were TRUE, either exact or with 1 period slippage as predicted. The speculation that these inflections would be followed by the same number of reversal bars as their corresponding inflections to the left of A proved to be "substantially TRUE" in >50% of cases.

Hope this is useful to someone. Average traders look at canned volatility algos which rely on standard deviation from a mean; superior traders look at historical return volatility. Neither is perfect, and what I'm sharing here isn't perfect either, but it does capture an important feature missed by the others: sawtoothing. By sawtoothing I mean that heartstopping zigzagging we all love and hate.by baffled1 - Trading Discussion
Welcome back to the asylum. Synth Trendlines Having declared war on time, the next thing Hudson challenged was the haphazard way that trendlines get drawn. Everybody's got a method- I'm not picking on anybody's method, as long as it works for you. What he thought was that there should be a standard model. But the sticky part (again) was getting rid of either time or price. We all know howby baffled1 - Trading Discussion
I ran FLIR for /CL. Maybe a few forecasts and folks see how good it is then we can get some coding ideas. I was very precise in manually creating trendlines on TOS, with exact prices. Please check my work: Tops used: 9am ET, 1/12/16 TO 9am ET 1/13/16 Lows used: 2pm ET 1/12/16 TO 10am ET 1/13/16 The following are the inflection hours (I still say 1-period slippage possible).

FLIR Hourly /CL forecast confirmed, with 1-hr slippage (as mentioned above). Forecasted inflection at 11am ET, actual was 12n ET.

On second thought, while I write up the ST post, I promised a couple forecasts for FLIR and ST. So here's a couple FLIR forecasts. The size of the reversal may vary, and there's 1-period slippage that's probably due more to my drawing imprecision than to the algo itself, so coding this into TS would be most helpful..
