Easily see which stocks have the TTM Squeeze direction aligned across multiple time frames. Free custom code is included below. Just follow instructions in the video to copy/paste this code and create your very own custom watchlist columns. No source code is disclosed as the Thinkorswim platform provides access to the plots while keeping the proprietary code out of sight.
Free custom code linked below. Based on the Ichimoku study, this code will let you scan for Cloud Breakouts as well as Trend Continuation signals. The signals are crafted to mirror the techniques taught by Hubert Senters (videos linked below).
An indicator presented on TastyTrade and written by Slim of askslim.com. Prompted by a viewer’s request, this video demonstrates how to use the momentum portion of the SLM Ribbons study as a filter for long and short entries. Free custom study included in the link below. This video will show you how to use the SLM Ribbons momentum in a custom scan.
This is just a quick article (no video). I received several requests from viewers to demonstrate how to create a custom scan based on the Multi Time-Frame MACD indicator. This MTF MACD indicator is available free via the link embedded in the video located HERE, in a post called Thinkorswim MTF MACD Indicator. You will not need the indicator to build this scan, but be sure to go get it so you can plot it on your charts.
Free indicator included, linked below. Plot both the Historical and Implied Volatility together in the same subgraph of a stock chart. Clearly see where crossovers occur. Use this free indicator in a custom scan. Step-by-step instructions in the video show how to run three different kinds of scans from this one indicator.
So you know how to use the Strategies tool in the Thinkorswim platform. But do you know how to export the strategy data and create a “P/L Curve” and “Equity at Work” plots on a graph? Do you think you can do this for multiple stocks and plot all the trade data on the same graph?
Well here I am late into a Saturday evening and I don’t have anything recorded yet. No worries, I spent the day developing some great material. I know exactly what the next video is about. I am very excited to get started, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. I decided to write this brief article for you, to give you an idea what is going to be covered in the next video. As the title suggests, the video is going to be all about TOS Strategy Analysis.
