Watch the video, Thinkorswim MTF MACD Indicator below:
Hi Pete, do i understand correctly that uncheck START AGGREGATION AT MARKET OPEN is only if we use intraday that can NOT be divided evenly by 6.5 hours trading hours = 390 minutes so if i use 130 minutes as base chart with mid chart 1day and check start aggregation at market open (else TOS weirdly starts the bar at 7:30 despite NO SHOW EXTENDED HOUR), your indicator will still work correctly, right?
separate question, would you be so kind to post similar script in Trade Station (just the script without video, pls)
thanks so much for all your time
“Start Aggregation at Market Open”, is a setting that impacts allignment between intraday charts and the rest of the tools on the platform. Uncheck this option to ensure your intraday charts align with the rest of the platform. This has absolutely nothing to do with dividing time.
Hi Pete, I downloaded the MTF MACD indicator and installed it as you state in the video. But I am getting an error periodically and the indicator goes blank. The error is located at the left upper corner of the chart. Chart_MTF_MACD: Trying to self-assign a non-initialized rec: mid term signal. Any idea how I can fix this? Thank you.
This is a known issue with version 1. Try using version two: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-strategy-guide-mtf/
New version works great. Thank you.
Hi Pete – I started looking at your site and looks liek you got some good stuff here. Starting with this MTF MACD indicator. I’m definitely missing something here – I cannot find the link to download this TOS indicator.
Hi Pete – please ignore my comment. I found the link. It was in white font against white background. I was able to download the indicator
Awesome! Have fun!
Hi Pete! I watched the video. There was a white box but it is blank in the video. Can you please share the link to download this MTF MACD indicator? Thank you! Love your videos sir❗
If the white box is blank, your browser is blocking video annotations. Try resetting your browser to default settings or try using another browser.
Pete, Do you happen to have this MTF MACD in tradeStation for range chart or tick chart as TOS cant support MTF for these types of chart
Not yet. But stay tuned. I certainly have that planned for a future video.
Hi Hahn,
This is very useful. I am however confused as to what does the length of the candles indicate? Some candles are longer than the other, and they all keep moving in ascending to descending and descending to ascending for most of the time.
Thanks.
Candles? Are you talking about the histogram of the MACD? That is just a standard plot of the MACD.
Hi Pete,
It seems the link to chart_MTF_MACDSTUDY.ts is broken. Could you double-check to see it works? Thanks.
