plot hist = if squeezeHistogram>= 0 then if squeezeHistogram > squeezeHistogram[1] then 2 else 1 else if squeezeHistogram < squeezeHistogram[1] then -2 else -1;
AssignBackgroundColor(if squeezeHistogram >= 0 then if squeezeHistogram > squeezeHistogram[1] then color.CYAN else color.BLUE else if squeezeHistogram < squeezeHistogram[1] then color.RED else color.YELLOW);
hist.assignvaluecolor(if squeezeHistogram >= 0 then if squeezeHistogram > squeezeHistogram[1] then color.CYAN else color.BLUE else if squeezeHistogram < squeezeHistogram[1] then color.RED else color.YELLOW);

    This color coding on watchlist is very useful. Can you also provide coding for MACD Histogram colors like you did for TTM Histogram? I tried to code it for MACD histogram without success. I am willing to pay for this service. Note: i have bought your volume profile in 2018, which I don’t use much because I don’t understand it. But this TTM histogram column color is very useful. It is better if you can have the same for MACD histogram.

    Brilliant Thank you ! I wanted to use this for day trading Momentum stocks. Do you think a daily/60m/5m/1m would be the best timeframes ? Looking to have a Watchlist created form a scan that identifies sacking moving into “Blue Territory”

      typos! .. should read “a watchlist created from a scan that identifies stocks moving into “Blue ” territory ” over a given set of timeframes

      I have absolutely no opinion on what settings work best. I do not teach people to trade. I build tools to help traders get the information they need more efficiently.

    How can I set up my TOS platform to show the charts the way you have them? That workspace looks like it is very productive in that it shows the main time frames all in one glance.

    also this basic function or

    close is less than or equal to ParabolicSAR()

    assignbackgroundColor(if Scan >=1 then color.BLUE else color.BLACK);

    this is not working for me
    how do i tell it to change color if the close is below or above standard parabolic SAR

    Pete hi. Can please u help me fix this custom Stochastic fast watch list function

    input price = CLOSE;
    input length = 20;
    input nK = 1.5;
    input nBB = 2.0;
    input alertLine = 1.0;
    def stochasticFast = ( nK, nBB, ).stochasticFast;
    plot stochasticFast = if stochasticFast>= 0 then
    if stochasticFast> stochasticFast[1] then 2 else 1
    else if stochasticFast = 0 then if stochasticFast > stochasticFast[1] then Color.CYAN else Color.BLUE else if stochasticFast = 0 then
    if stochasticFast > stochasticFast[1] then color.CYAN else color.BLUE
    else if stochasticFast < stochasticFast[1] then color.RED else color.YELLOW);

    Hey Pete, great video. I followed it to the T and all the boxes on the wk,day and hour are all white. Did I do something wrong. I’m new to all of this. Thanks

    I’m trying to get the color of the histogram from the 5 min chart but use it on a 1 min chart. I tried changing the aggregation period of CLOSE to 5 min, however it ignores this and only outputs the color of the histogram from the 1 min. Do you think there’s any way around this?
