Product Description

Flag Formations Indicator ThinkorSwim TOS Script

The Flag Formation study helps identify occurrences of the well-known Flag pattern of certain shape on intra-day charts. The criteria of the flag shape that are said to improve the performance of the pattern were described by Markos Katsanos in his article “Detecting Flags in Intra-day Charts.” Those criteria form the base for the Intra-day Flag Formation strategy.

 

By default, the study searches for flags whose parameters conform to the following (all numbers are customizable,see the Input Parameters section): 

  • The flag pole height is at least 5.5times the average true range (ATR) and its formation takes no longer than 23 bars;
  • The flag itself is not wider than 2.5 times the ATR and its formation takes no longer than 15 bars;
  • There is an uptrend before the flag formation and it persists for at least 70 bars;
  • The ATR has changed by at least 5%during the flag formation.

 

Input Parameters

  • max flag length  The maximum number of bars since the pole top.
