  1. Just as a question, so does the floating PL reflect what the strategy would make if you ran it through a trade bot?
    I'm currently making a strategy that gives good results but I can mirror it's actions with the same results

  5. Great I learned a lot , thanks
    I wrote a code to auto trade based on STOCHRSI when K above D.. It looks very unprofessional but I made my best and it buys and sells in wrong positions few times
    If you would take a look at it and give your opinion, it will be great:

    input RSI_length = 14;

    input over_bought = 80;

    input over_sold = 20;

    input RSI_average_type = AverageType.WILDERS;

    input RSI_price = close;

    input KPeriod = 14;

    input DPeriod = 3;

    input slowing_period = 1;

    input averageType = AverageType.SIMPLE;

    input showBreakoutSignals = {default "No", "On FullK", "On FullD", "On FullK & FullD"};

    def RSI = RSI(price = RSI_price, length = RSI_length, averageType = RSI_average_type);

    def FullK = StochasticFull(over_bought, over_sold, KPeriod, DPeriod, RSI, RSI, RSI, slowing_period, averageType).FullK;

    def FullD = StochasticFull(over_bought, over_sold, KPeriod, DPeriod, RSI, RSI, RSI, slowing_period, averageType).FullD;

    def OverBought = over_bought;

    def OverSold = over_sold;

    def line1 = 5;

    def line2 = 7.5;

    def line3 = 10;

  6. Josiah, thank you! My best recent purchase was your “Z distance from VWAP” strategy. How can I see the floatingPL number as a percentage (e.g. for simply charting a hypothetical strategy against the S&P performance for backtesting)? If I cannot, is there a way to thinkScript a customizable PL metric? If so, please know “If you script it, they (and certainly I) will buy!”

  9. I tried making a script after watching your video. All i wanted to do was have it mark an entry a certain percent up from the daily open price but instead it marks it on every single candle.

  19. Hey, I could really use some help! How can I just have the chart show me the buy signals without having to specify when to sell?
    I want to see all the scenarios of when it would indicate to buy regardless of when I chose to sell. Thanks so much!

  20. Hi there! I found this video extremely useful, for it is one of the only videos out there that really goes in depth to explain the strategy process on thinkorswim. I have a question, however: Is there a way to execute these strategies? To actually buy/sell as the market moves, and take real? P/L
