TTM Indicator

Recommended Posts

Tradestation has their version of this as a canned indicator now. Under 'Show Me' it is called 'Pivot High' & 'Pivot Low'; use a setting of 3 bars; it is the same thing. I have the TTM scalper indicator; it is just a swing point/pivot indicator in paintbar form. TTM has some good indicators, but there are some great open-source ones on this forum as well. Swingpoint indicators lag, even with a faster setting of 3 bars. They are useful for trend trading on medium to higher timeframes, but not worth much for scalping, etc.

 

Check out the Squeeze, CCI, etc from BluRay on this forum; they are really good.

You don't need to pay for it if you have thinkorswim. Just do a google search and there are a few web pages with free thinkorswim studies, they have all the TTM stuff.

 

 

However, let me tell you a secret. After using it for a few weeks, you'll stop bothering to pull it up. Just use your MACD or basic price action. It'll do a better job.

hi guys,

i will want to know how can i get my hand on the TTM scalper indicator?

please help me with it.. i am new here..

Pm me or reply to this thread. thank you!

 

I have TTM scalper alert. It's got a couple major problems:

1. First off, you, it's a "paint" indicator, meaning, in this case, it paints a white bar at where it thinks the swing pivot "just was". I say "just was", somewhat tongue in cheek because a) they need anywhere from 3-7 candles/bars, I've noticed, in order to do their Heiken Ashi 6 bar analysis. BOTTOM LINE: The indicator repeatedly frustrates me because they PAINT them in the "perfect position", but do so AFTER the fact. What's more, by the time you GET that ALERT = the time it PAINTS, the trade is LONG since over.

 

So, this is an issue I have with that particular Indicator.

The TTM Squeeze Indicator: A Few Key Points:

 

the TTM squeeze indicator was developed to keep from going cross eyed from looking at all of the line crosses. The TTM squeeze indicator visually represents what is happening with all of the lines.

The TTM Squeeze Indicator is very easy strategy to learn and works on all time frames. We like the Two Minute and Five Minute time frames the best.

The TTM Squeeze Indicator normal signal is red dots, no trade.

When green dots appears, it means that the TTM squeeze indicator is on.

When a red dot is followed by a green dot, it means that the TTM squeeze indicator has fired, volatility is expanding.

The histogram(the vertical lines) is a measure of momentum; If it is blue we go long, if it is red we go short.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
