Script:                RTTc Mickey MA

Back to Catalogue

Purpose :            Chart version of an Entry Script scanning for retracement based on the 2-day count-back method.

It draws two different icons -
first day the Close hits the trigger level
first day the price drops below the trigger level.

The two icons appear independent of each other; their upper edge marks the trigger level.

If the two MA periods (see parameters) are specified, the markers are drawn only if the price trend is rising. A rising trend is assumed if the fast EMA is moving above the slow EMA; both EMAs are calculated from the "typical" price.
(For details, see calculation of Pivot Level at RTT PivotsY.)
Setting either MA period to 0 (zero) will deactivate this option.

To save time, it is recommended to set the global chart parameters to "calculate visible points only". This means the script calculates and draws only for the days visible in the current window. (see "Parameters" below)

If you zoom out and wish to expand the plot, right-click inside the window, select the script's Properties, and click "OK". That will redraw the plot for the larger time frame.

Please note that plotted scripts work on any time scale. Substitute "tick" (week, hour, month...) for "day" where appropriate.
