# TTM Squeeze watchlist column indicator

This script can be added to new or existing watchlist columns to indicate the status of the TTM Squeeze for a particular time-frame.

It also indicates whether a symbol is in the Buy Zone by highlighting the background color and adding a "B" to the column. The Buy Zone is defined as in between the 8 & 21 EMA.

ToS share code: http://tos.mx/IPrEhH

Here is what each means:

Background | Meaning
---|---
Bright Red | **_The stock price is in the Buy Zone._**
Muted Red | **_The squeeze is building in this time period._** The number shows the number of dots on the TTM Squeeze indicator.
Muted Green | **_The squeeze has fired._** The number shows how many dots (up to 5) and whether the squeeze fired L(ong) or S(hort).
Black | _There is no squeeze in play._

## Installation

You can either *update* an existing column or create a new column. *Instructions for both are listed below.*

* [Update an existing column](#update-an-existing-column)
* [Add a script to a new column](#add-a-script-to-a-new-column)

### Update an existing column

**1. Copy code**

First we will copy the code so it can be pasted into ThinkOrSwim.

Click on the script file above (`ttms-watchlist-column.ts`). On the next page click on the RAW button. Select all of the text and copy it.

**2. Update watchlist column**

Right click on the column header to get the dropdown and select *Edit Formula...*. The *ThinkScript Editor* dialog will appear.

![update step one](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmccuskey/tos-tps-ttm-watchlist-indicator/master/images/update-01-menu.png)

In the thinkScript editor box, select all of the current content and paste the new code into the box.

![update step two](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmccuskey/tos-tps-ttm-watchlist-indicator/master/images/update-02-code-dialog.png)

Click on the OK button.

*Repeat steps 1-2 for any other existing columns.*

### Add a script to a new column

1. in ToS, go to *Setup > Open Shared Item...*

The Open Shared Item dialog will appear

2. Paste in the above Share Code into the dialog and click Preview. Then click Open.

The Shared ThinkScript Quote Saved dialog will appear.

3. Rename the script to something which can be found easily, like `testtest`.

We will update the name later.

*At this point the script is saved in ToS and can be added to a column.*

4. On *any* column in the watchlist, right-click the header and select *Customize...*.

This will open up the Watchlist dialog where we add the script to a new column.

![new step 4](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmccuskey/tos-tps-ttm-watchlist-indicator/master/images/new-04-menu.png)

5. In the input box labeled *Lookup a column...* type in the name you chose in step 3, eg `testtest`.

6. Double-click on the name in the left hand column to add it to the right side.

7. In the right-hand column, click on the *script* icon to the left of the name.

![new step 4](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmccuskey/tos-tps-ttm-watchlist-indicator/master/images/new-07-script-icon.png)

This will open a *Custom Quote Formula* dialog where you will choose the name and time-frame you want for the column.

8. In upper left of the *Custom Quote Formula* dialog, edit the name and time-frame.

![update step two](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmccuskey/tos-tps-ttm-watchlist-indicator/master/images/new-08-quote-formula.png)

Here we change the name to *S15* and time-frame to 15 minutes. Be sure to uncheck *Include extended-hours trading session*.

![update step two](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmccuskey/tos-tps-ttm-watchlist-indicator/master/images/new-08-quote-formula-2.png)

Click OK on the *Custom Quote Formula* dialog.

Then click OK on the Watchlist Customize dialog.

*Repeat steps 1-8 for each new column that you wish to add.*

# Troubleshooting

* I see "loading..." in my columns

Apparently all of the processing for the columns is done on *TDA Servers*, so it's possible for the data/updates to take a awhile to show in ToS. This is more likely to happen if it's a busy day in the markets and/or you have a lot of entries on your watchlist.

Some tips to mitigate issues:
    * Try to keep the watchlist small

You could have a Master watchlist referenced in the evening and a smaller one for market hours which has your recent selections / near-term trade ideas selected from Master.

* Wait until after market to view a large watchlist

* Wait a few minutes for the data to load / refresh

IIRC, I read somewhere it could take a few minutes during intraday for data to update.

* Do not jump back and forth between watchlists in the same watchlist pane.

When a watchlist is changed, the entire watchlist table is re-drawn with new data. Use other watchlist panes without this indicator.
