To clarify, in thread #221 you show histograms, whereas the posted code is a line chart.

Hey Tasuki, I appreciate all the work you've done. Do you have TS code for the Blowfish Indicator you show the screen shot of in post #198? Thanks, Bruce

Yes, it's basically a TTM squeeze in it's original form (TTM Squeeze Indicator), plus a TTM Trend Paint Bar indicator (TTM Trend Indicator), also known as a momentum paint bar indicator. The squeeze is available in may forms aka PBF-Squeeze. The TTM Trend with multiple time frames I haven't seen outside of TradeTheMarkets. Basically you can set up multiple time frame charts using the TTM Trend (pr BR_PaintBars) in a window by using separate charts for the 240, 120, 60 min etc. When all of these time frames are in confluence, one takes the squeeze. The utility of "The New TTM Squeeze" is that it takes the trend indicator across multiple time frames and comes up with color bars in one window. For example if the paint bars in all of the selected time frames are blue (bullish) then one takes long squeezes and ignores shorts. I the paint bars in all of the time frames are red, then one takes only short squeezes, and passes on long squeezes. Gray bars are neutral, meaning that the paint bars on all time frames are not in confluence. I can achieve what the afore mentioned paragraph states by setting up multiple charts with the TTM Trend. I would then have to look at bar colors on up to five charts to search for confluence. "The New TTM Squeeze" is programmed to do this task in one window. Hope this helps, if not let me know. Bruce

The new TTM Squeeze uses up to five anchor charts to filter the firing of the squeeze. It combines the TTM Squeeze TTM Squeeze Indicator, with the TTM Trend TTM Trend Indicator. The TTM Trend is modified by using up to five anchor charts. For example if you are looking at the "New TTM Squeeze" on a five minute chart, your TTM Trend may have daily, 240 minute, 120 minute, and 60 minute anchor charts. If all of these charts are in alignment, that is blue bars for uptrend, red bars for down trend, you take the squeeze. Here is a sample of the TTM Trend inputs: Name Value Tags "XMin/Daily/Weekly/Monthly" Tag1 "Daily" Tag2 "240min" Tag3 "120min" Tag4 "60min" Tag5 "" UpColor blue DnColor red NeutralColor lightgray CompBars 6 In conclusion take the squeeze only when it is in the direction of the above TTM Trend. Long squeeze only with blue bars, short squeeze only with red bars, stay out on light gray bars. Hope it helps.

Here are some links to backup software: This one gives you overall ratings. http://data-backup-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ This is a review of genie-soft, make sure you get version 8. I would get the pro version and make sure you do this: I was impressed with Genie's data backup capabilities and was keen to try out the new disaster recovery feature that allows you to backup and restore a copy of the Windows Operating system itself. When I tied to test this feature I got a shock; it's not included in the standard product but is a separate 122MB download! Yes it's free and yes, it can be downloaded automatically from within Genie but with a file this size you sure don't want to be using a dial-up internet connection. http://www.backup-software-reviews.com/review-genie-backup-manager.htm Genie looks like the best but Acronis looks good to: http://www.download.com/Acronis-True-Image-Home/3000-2242_4-10168093.html I think either product would serve you well.

Hello thrunner, First of all, thank you. I installed and verified both slingshots, but am getting error messages with the "_sv" version (see attachment). I've decided to use the ^TTMSlingShot and set the "use BB" to "false" and it works great. Also, I am interested in writing Easy Language code, can you recommend any resources to get me started? Many thanks, Bruce

Thank you for sharing Sevensa. You are right, the color change is a result of the moving average crossover. And you want to trade in the direction of the slope of the 61.8 MA. Combine the crossover with a -8 value chart reading and a fib retracement between 50% and 61.8% and you have a greater then 85% chance of hitting a first target of 8 mini-DOW points. Can you write code for the crossover with color change? Hope this helps, Bruce

I don't write programming code, but am familiar with the indicator. It is a channel of two moving averages; the Jurik 32.4 and 61.8 period moving averages. When the 61.8 MA is sloping upward the channel is blue, and when the 61.8 MA is sloping downward the channel is red. When the channel changes color (noting a MA crossover) you look for the first pullback (or retracement) into the channel. When this retracement coincides with a fibonacci signal or oscillator signal the trade is triggered. The challenge for the programmer is to create the channel and color changes above. Hope this helps, Bruce

Nevermind, paintbarfactory.com... Thanks again!

Do you have that pbf link?

Hey Blu-Ray, I'm working with your squeeze indicator, thank you for the download. Have one question: What is the significance of the "true/false" choice on the counter trend, and the change mid line? I primarily trade the mini-Dow, on 89 or 144 TICK charts, and would like to know the utility of modifying the "true/false" parameters. Thank you, Bruce
