Hi Pete,
Very informative website!
I am trying to use Chart_Alert_Ichimoku to buy and sell when Chikou crosses Kijun (downward direction). How do I identify when Chikou is crossing Kijun using this alert or additional code update?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Vik
This code was never intended to be used to execute orders. We have no support for this. However if you want the best chance of figuring this out on your own I suggest you try using the code we built for the Ichimoku scan: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-scan-ichimoku/
Goodmorning Jeff,
First of all thank you for all the help, your videos are awesome.
Understand the video instructions perfectly, only one question. Any way to put my entire watch list on here for text alerts when my study triggers?
Thank you.
Pete I’m sorry*
Still half asleep and Jeff is my brothers name.
There is no way to trigger sms/email notifications from a custom watchlist column on Thinkorswim. However what you can do is to create and save a custom scan that runs against your list of stocks. Then use that scan to create a dynamic alert that sends sms/email notifications when scan results change.
In order to complete that you will need to incorporate the code from the following video: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-scan-ichimoku/ along with the technique shown towards the end of this video: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-overnight-range-scan-alert/
So in order to receive text alerts for any forex pair or stock or anything I need to make a simple last price based alert then a long and short alert for each pair or stock?
Hi Pete, I’m having the same problem as Temi below. Can you please help. ?
I have added a link to the file within the text of the video description.
Thanks Pete, really appreciate the content you put out.
Hi Pete, Thanks for the video. The link to the STUDY file on the video did not work for me. Clicking just pauses or plays the video on my browser. Could you send me a link to download the file?
I have added a link to the file within the text of the video description.
Thank you so much for the quick response!
Thanks Pete.
Great job. It’s sounds as if you’re beginning to get overloaded with projects you want to complete. As a newbie, I am trying to set my tools up first then look at my practices and disciplines 2nd. I know it may be backwards, but that’s where my head goes sometime.
Happy New Year Pete and keep up the great work.
Thanks! Most of my time these days is spent building custom projects for our viewers. Had no idea how many folks out there require my professional services building them custom tools. But I love every bit of it.
you make it easy to understand. It’s funny saying that since I am in a highly technical position. but it’s a completely different field. Folks like yourself are a genuine diamond in the rough. with all of the commercialization out here, it’s so easy to get confused about where to go. Lot’s of Hype.
Hi Paul,
Thanks so much for this wonderful feedback. You have confirmed that the material I am publishing is hitting the nail on the head. This is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
Sorry if this has been asked but how do you set the alert status to continuous? My alert triggers and then I have to reset it. -Thank you!
The default setting for alerts in this custom study are set to “Repeatedly for each bar”. That setting will not require you to “reset” the alert. I’m not even sure how you would “reset” an alert. But if you had changed the alert setting to “Once, and then become disabled”, I can see this would cause the behavior you have described. Hope that helps!
Awesome. Thank you so much!
Where can I get the study for the cloud alerts? I have watched the video but can’t find the study link.. Thanks!
The link is presented in the video, inside a white rectangle shortly after the instructions are complete. Just click on the link when it appears.
Hello Pete – Do you have this Ichimoku alert study available for TradeStation? Thanks.
Not yet, but that is certainly in the plans for future videos. Stay tuned!
Pete: When you run the breakout w C I can not run the opposite at the same time. How would I make 2 indicators one above the cloud and the second indicator showing the trigger below the cloud, at the same time? If I try to change the name and save it both change the last name. How do I make two indicators doing opposite things?
Any chart study or strategy can be added to the chart multiple times. Having added it to the chart twice, you will see that you can adjust the settings of each using the standard study inputs. There is no need to change any code.
Thanks Pete for the great videos and material. truly appreciate it. I am new to trading and learning great stuff from your videos.
Is it possible to modify the code in this alert so as to differentiate colors for the “cloud break” arrows from the “T/K” arrows? Do you know how to do this? I would like to tell the alerts apart just by looking at the screen.
I tried adding “longSignal2” and “shortSignal2” to the code by duplicating it but I got error messages.
Just like any other plot on any other chart study. Through the settings. No need to change any code whatsoever. Don’t overthink this.
LOL. Thanks. Sure was 🙂
I cannot access the code- I get file not supported or currupt- can you email it?
Even if I were to email you the file you would still have the same exact issue. The issue is caused when you try to open the file to view it’s contents. You cannot do this with a STUDY.ts file. You only need to learn how to save the file to your hard drive and import it into thinkorswim. We provide some instructions in the answer to this post in our Q&A forum: https://www.hahn-tech.com/ans/trouble-downloading-the-macdrsi-sqz-and-scan/
