Build a Multi-Time Frame (MTF) Squeeze in 22 Minutes

[@schwda01]

Another great video / tool from the TOS Indicators. Thank you for taking the time to post helpful content for retail traders. I always look forward to your posts. Great job!

[@TOSIndicators]

Thanks for the support, Mr. S! Appreciate it :-)

[@neuvocastezero1838]

Thanks for another excellent video, what is the difference between the "mid compression" squeeze and the other squeezes mentioned at the beginning of the video?

[@TOSIndicators]

Thank you! The multiple compressions are different nK factor inputs into the squeeze for more / less opportunities.

[@neuvocastezero1838]

@@TOSIndicators Thank you for the reply!

[@serendipity1328]

Is it possible to use this MTF code in ToS scan? Appreciate if you can provide the same. Thanks again for your tutorials.

[@TOSIndicators]

It isn't - you'll need to specify each squeeze scan's timeframe in a separate scan filter.

[@serendipity1328]

@TOS Indicators you mean I have to add custom scan for each timeframe and then AND them together in the scan condition?

[@dimasgomez7797]

Man this definitive a good video but i have a question the TTM squeeze i have show three color squeeze the red the green and the black how i can add the the black color to show in the MTF?, once again thanks for the video

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi Armando - we have a MTF Triple Squeeze indicator for all 3 compressions of the squeeze available on our website here: tosindicators.com/squeeze-course/mtf-triple-squeeze (Free for Volatility Box members)

[@dimasgomez7797]

@@TOSIndicators Thank you so much for replay to me more than appreciated that one i have is the same from your website my question is that only include for the red dots and the dark green dots how to add another label the included the black and orange AddLabel(monthSqueeze and monthAggregationPeriod, "M", color.red); AddLabel(!monthSqueeze and monthAggregationPeriod,"M", color.dark_green);

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi Armando - the link provided above already includes the black and orange labels as well.

[@googleybear25]

Hey there, I just tried downloading the Multi-Time Frame Squeeze indicator and when I opened the zip file an MPEG file appeared. Would it be possible to provide the TOS share link just like the TTM squeeze Dashboard? The dashboard is fantastic by the way. Thanks for sharing and I'm actually getting really interested on signing up for the Volitility Box.

[@TOSIndicators]

Thanks for the kind words! Once you download the indicator files, you can directly import the STUDY.TS files into ThinkOrSwim, via the studie's menu (Import button).

[@kimblehorsak4248]

Hey I've been binge-watching your videos lately, everything is super helpful, and I remember a line of code you used in a strategy where you were able to cancel the buy order if it was triggered in the first x amount of minutes of market open and I was wondering what that line of code was

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi Kimble - no code necessary for that one! You should be able to change it directly in the Alerts tab, under the "Cancel Order" section (the second column in the Trigger rules), and input a time-based exit, based on [x] minutes after the market has been open.

[@alexgrafton1705]

Can you make a Multi-frame from build for the awesome oscillator?

[@FatrasSamurai]

Whaou amazing ! thank you, I know harold ask you this question but i didn't find, but Can I create on 195min, 130min, 78min, 60min, 30min 15min, 10min, 5min, 1 min label also ? Thank you

[@TOSIndicators]

Glad you liked the video. Unfortunately, you are limited to the aggregation periods supported by thinkScript. Full list here: tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Constants/AggregationPeriod

[@FatrasSamurai]

@@TOSIndicators thank you !

[@weshelwig2019]

Great video and wonderful script. I noticed that the indicator will report from the most current time frame on up (e.g I can see all squeezes from 1h to monthly when viewing the 1 hour chart, but I cannot see anything below 1h like 30, 15, 5 mins unless I navigate to those lower timeframe charts). Is there a way to make this code so that I see all timeframes no matter which chart I select? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi Wes - thanks for the kind words. That's a limitation of thinkScript, in which you can only access the current time frame's data and higher (called Aggregation Periods).

[@bobysize]

@@TOSIndicators same issues here but on your video at 17:36 you were on the monthly but the weekly shown up. Can you please tell how to fix this?

[@healthyblend2048]

I’d love this for the TTM Trend, any way you could make a video on that?

[@schwda01]

If you asked for feedback for topics for the 19th episode -- I would vote for a video covering best practices for TOS MTF squeeze scans. It is a natural progression of the series given the excellent content you shared above. Thoughts? I have been a true fan of this channel / TOS Indicators since the first episode. Absolutely great content from this channel.

[@TOSIndicators]

Thanks for the idea! If you're looking to have an MTF squeeze scan, that should actually be pretty simple, by using the following code, in the scan filter: plot signal = if TTM_Squeeze().SqueezeAlert == 0 then 1 else 0; To be able to scan for sqeuezes on multiple frames, it should be as easy as copying that code into one more custom study filter, and changing the time frame associated. If there's enough interest, we can definitely visit the idea of making a video around some different scenarios of these squeeze scans (feel free to suggest ideas as well)! It does make for a natural progression for the 19th episode :-)

[@schwda01]

@@TOSIndicators Many thanks for the post and the script. What I learned from your tremendously helpful back testing video (highly recommended viewing if some of your followers haven't watched it) is the squeeze is a hit or miss indicator (like the rest). As expected, your refined squeeze setup improved the equity curve. This is where you folks shine, and if it helps your community to do so, I hope you share some thoughts on scanning for best practice squeeze setups. I know you are incredibly busy, so I understand if there isn't time to discuss this topic. Simply scanning for squeezes in multiple time frames probably won't help your viewers much. This topic needs some TOS Indicator know-how to take it to the next level. I'm thankful for your time and consideration. Terrific content and channel gentlemen....

I cant download it

You can download the code from our website, once you've registered for a free account. Download link is in the description box.

Do you have or can you do a video on building a watchlist with the squeeze pro being color coded per squeeze timeframe so when your watchlist is up you can see what stocks are in the squeeze and or fired

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi William - the only video around having color coded watchlists is the TTM_Squeeze Dashboard video, which is available here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHakfoCXhdmFjKs You can customize that to add in multiple nk Factors if you'd like, along with different time frames (as separate "Custom Quote" scripts). However, I don't think TOS would allow the actual MTF code to be passed through in a label format, as that would most likely result in complex equation errors.

[@TheGuitarGuyCody]

Would you consider this as a TTM Squeeze anchor MTF indicator? I’ve been trying to replicate John Carter’s. Could you do one for TTM trend that references higher HTF charts? Thanks for the great video!

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi Cody - the MTF Squeeze is for the TTM Squeeze that accesses multiple time frames in one indicator. If you're interested in the squeeze, we have a more thorough squeeze course (free for VB members) with ~14 (currently) additional modules, building out more thinkScript squeeze code. www.tosindicators.com/squeeze-course

[@MauiChristian90]

Any way you guys can make this again but for the MACD?

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi Mark - We can add that to the list of ideas for future tutorials in the "MTF" series. Thanks for the suggestion!

great video. however I noticed that when im using this wonderful tool it causes a lag, meaning that if i open tradeview on the side i can see that TOS is running behind by a few seconds to stock prices dont match and when i take it off then its goes back to normal. I also compared TOS with mobile TOS and i see the discrepancy in price when using the MTF. what can i do to fix that so i can use it because its really helpful?

[@TOSIndicators]

Hi Carlos, if you're seeing a lag on your platform, TDA would be the folks to contact to help resolve that issue.

[@CarlosRodriguez-vg2ob]

@@TOSIndicators hi i was able to fix the issue by removing some of the timeframes on the script. I. did not need 2h,2d and a few others and that did it. i noticed when i copied the script i had an icon in the editor saying that due to the complexity of the script that there would be delays. after i trimmed it down some that icon went away as well as my lagging. I dont know if that normal but im good to go using the script with only the times that i wanted to monitor. FANTASTIC JOB guys

is it available for tradingview

What is the code snip to make each of the timeframe to have "no/off" switch?

Hi David - you'd need to create a boolean input variable, which can be added as a condition into the AddLabel function.

I tried adding the other 2 nk factors but kept getting duplication errors in thinkscript. Any ideas?

No - only the aggregation periods defined by thinkScript are allowed in the code.
