Post From: Does SC have a one time framing up and one time framing down indicator?

Hi John,

Great to have a new indicator for One-TimeFraming !

However I'm not sure the One Time framing indicator does exactly reflect generally accepte One-TimeFraming concept.
Jim Dalton popularized the concept as :
"One-TimeFraming
A trending situation where in an uptrend, the low of the previous bar is not broken to the downside by 2 ticks or more. Conversely, in a downtrend, the high of the previous bar is not exceeded by at least 2 ticks or more. As these upside and downside situations occur over multiple bars we identify them as 'one-timeframing’."
See : One-TimeFraming in https://jimdaltontrading.com/glossarypage/

In his 1993 "Mind Over Markets" book, Jim defines one-timeframe seller control as "inability of the buyer to successfully rotate price upward beyonf the previous time period's auction high during two or more successive periods."

The arithmetic transalation is :
One Time Framing up = L[1] > L - 1 : no condition on H.
One Time Framing down : H[1] < H -1 ; no condition on L.

See attached screenshot for correct drawing (so I hope...) on the right pane versus current indicator on the left pane.

Some useful enhancements to the indicator would be :
- to adjust the Arrow Offset in Ticks or Points : better on intraday chart
- to allow the user to modify the step in ticks or points : condition would be : L[1] > L - step. Would make sense for NQ for instance : a 1 tick step, as 1/4 point, is really too tight.
These days Jim uses a two tick step for ES.

Hope this helps. Feel free to reach me if you need.
Regards,
JM
