Tips & Customization:
Indicators typically work best on 1-minute to 15-minute timeframes for intraday trading.
Combine with VWAP, 9/20 EMA, RSI, or Volume Clouds for optimal accuracy.
Use Chart Settings → Time Axis → Expansion Area to give more space for cloud and arrow indicators.
Enable sound or pop-up alerts in ThinkorSwim under:
Setup → Application Settings → Notifications.
Troubleshooting:
If the import fails, make sure your ThinkorSwim is fully updated.
Delete any duplicate or older versions of the study from User Studies.
Restart ThinkorSwim if the study doesn’t appear right away.
