I have finished coding TD Setup (aka Trading the Nines). I apologize for the delay, and I appreciate your efforts to help me via email. The delay was not due to a misunderstanding of the indicator, but rather to my own inexperience with ACSIL. I spent a fair bit of time reading the documentation for this language. I have some enhancements to make to this study, but the basic framework is in place and you can start using it. Attached to this post are the source code, the .dll file (place this in Sierra Chart >> Data, then find the study TD Setup in Sierra Chart under Analysis >> Studies >> Add Custom Studies), and the chartbook that I tested the study on. The test was successful. By default the study places green numbers above all bars that satisfy the criteria for a valid buy setup, and red numbers below all bars that satisfy the criteria for a valid sell setup. The number of consecutively labeled bars may be less than, equal to, or greater than 9. Once the number reaches 9, this indicates a signal to either buy or sell.

Here is a screenshot of the chartbook that I used to test this study. The bar numbering is accurate, as I verified in the attached spreadsheet.

There aren't supposed to be any other numbers higher than 9 See here from Bloomberg http://www.mysmu.edu/faculty/christophert/QF206/Week_05.pdf Math is pretty simple.

I do not see any attached DLL file. There's a cpp file and a cht file and then it says "Private File".

I am pretty sure it is not yet implemented correctly by the rules of Tom Demark.

Regarding Post #30: There aren't supposed to be any other numbers higher than 9 With TD Setup, there can be numbers higher than 9. I am working from the primary sources, namely DeMark's books. Quoting from page 43 of New Market Timing Techniques: A buy Setup is defined as a series of none or more closes less than the close four trading days earlier, and a sell Setup is defined as a series of nine or more consecutive closes greater than the close four trading days earlier. The Setup period could, and often does, extend past the minimum number of nine consecutive closes less than or greater than the close four trading days earlier. The emphasis was also in the original. The TD Buy Setup Perfection and Sell Setup Perfection on Slides 12 and 16 of the link that you provided are the segue from TD Setup to TD Countdown. I am working on TD Countdown now.

Hi Tom (TD Setup (aka Trading the Nines). The basic framework is in place and you can start using it.) You mentioned some enhancements planned for this study. Is work ongoing in these quarters? What enhancements are on the docket? Is there an eta? Thanks

We have just added the study Trading the Nines to Sierra Chart in v2062. It is substantially enhanced and improved over the Advanced Custom Study that I posted a couple of months ago. Most notably: * The bar numbering goes no higher than 9 for either Buy Setups or Sell Setups. * The criteria for Buy Setup Perfection and Sell Setup Perfection have been implemented. Here is the documentation: Trading the Nines Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-03-06 21:56:55

Tom, I cannot find Trading the Nines in v.2060. a) Do I need to download the pre-release version? b) Would I find it under the Studies Available or Custom Study section? Thanks.

Hi john4th, yes you will find it in the pre-release version (v2062). I have just edited my previous post to indicate this. It will be under Studies Available. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-03-06 21:57:24

WRT Post #37: Hi How's the work on the TD Countdown looking? Thx TD Sequential (comprised of TD Setup and TD Countdown) is much more complicated than Trading the Nines, and will take some time and research. We do not intend to post updates on the progress of these studies, but will be happy to announce when they are finished. We consider the topic of this thread to be resolved as of today.

Hello, can anyone help to create an alarm when the yellow 9 appears (for buy and sell)? I tried (for buy): = ID.xx.SG1 > 0 = ID.xx.SG1 = 9 = ID.xx.SG1 = r_IsBuyPerfection which all did'nt work. Thanks.

Try study: 2 x "Color Bar Based On alert Condition" to alert tab in the settings of study Color bar write: =IDx.SG1=9 where x is number of Trading the nines study ID The same formula again for the opposite direction in the second Color bar based study just change the expression SG1 to SG2

Thanks for suggestion. It works now with your proposed study and with the study itself in this way: =OR(IDxx.SG1=9,IDxx.SG2=9)

Yes, I know, I described it to you in two CBOAC studies to have a separate alert for the automatic trading system for long and a separate for short

Hi, does this indicator work on range bars? I just tried it on a range bar but the number keeps counting as the current bar changes price. I get numbers up to 200 something. Is there a fix on this?

Regarding Post #46, I have checked the Trading the Nines study with every type of Range Bar, and have not found the error that you are reporting. Also, it looks like there is a lot more going on in the screenshot in Post #47 than just Range Bars. We are looking into this, but in the mean time we would ask you to upgrade to the newest version of Sierra Chart and try again.

Hi, I have followed the given instructions. I duplicated a new chartbook but for some reason it is not in the data folder. I uploaded the original cht file instead. As what you suggested, I've removed everything with only the TD study left. This is a 50 point range bar for HSI futures. Everything's removed but as you see, the numbers can get up to 1000s. Eric
