We are also including a custom scan along with the upgraded version. Customers who already purchased version two are receiving the upgraded version plus the scan code at no extra charge! We’ve only added two adjustable parameters yet they have a very large impact on how divergence is calculated.
In this video we briefly explain Divergence and give some examples, just to make sure we don’t leave anyone behind. After the examples we then go straight into the indicator settings, showing how to adjust the various settings. We then review a few charts so you can see how the alerts are triggered….. yes, we have included alerts.
Free chart based study included with video. Just watch the video to learn how to build your own study alerts and by the time you’re ready to get started we’ll present an embedded link within the video.
AutoTrades are not fully supported on Thinkorswim as on other platforms. However if you learn how to connect the pieces you can place conditional orders that await the signal created by a set of defined rules. Once the conditions are satisfied, the order is release from hold and becomes a live order.
In this brief video you will see how the TTM Trend indicator is referenced from inside a custom study. We’ll explain how this is possible and then show you how to simply add a few lines of code to include the Alert feature.
Thinkorswim is able to display the expected price of the underlying stock given a specific price of the option contract. It’s been there all along and perhaps you have been overlooking this very useful tool.
After a brief slide show explaining the differences, you will see how to use the MTF MACD Strategy to extract theoretical trades from Thinkorswim into a spreadsheet for analysis. Thinkorswim Strategy Guide MTF is a more advanced version of previous videos published on this topic.
