Thinkorswim Watchlist TTM Squeeze
Thinkorswim Watchlist TTM Squeeze
This video shows how to add a column to any watchlist displaying red or green to show you which stocks are in a squeeze. Additionally, this code will count the number of green dots since the last squeeze ended. Zeros mean the stock is in a squeeze. Values greater than zero indicate a stock that has exited the squeeze and is potentially ready for a big move. You can sort the watchlist by this column so you can spot the stocks that have just recently exited the squeeze.
Be sure to watch the video so you understand how to install it. This indicator compliments a previous video we published that displays the colors of the TTM Squeeze histogram in a watchlist. Use these together to create a ‘radar screen’ similar to those used in TradeStation. In a single glance you can see stocks that are ready to make a move and which direction the indicator is predicting.

Watch the video, Thinkorswim Watchlist TTM Squeeze below:
Hi Pete, On the TTM squeeze I wanted to setup a trigger (Plot) on the COLOR of the BAR. For Example if the COLOR is LIGHT BLUE or YELLOW then setup an alert. I see you did something similar in the video above. I am planning to use the color of the bar along with the MACD and stochastic indicator. I wrote the initial lines of code, but I am not sure how to get to the Yellow Bars.
Thanks
Hilario
