Squeeze Course Modules
Module 1: TTM Squeeze Basics
Understand the TTM Squeeze, its calculation, and what's going on under the hood. Grasping these basics will lay the foundation for the rest of the course.
Module 2: Triple Pro Squeeze
Build your first squeeze indicator, the Triple Pro Squeeze. This indicator helps you find hidden squeezes, and adds on the black and yellow dot squeezes to the classic red dot squeeze.
Module 3: Triple Pro Squeeze Backtester
Build your first backtester to test different squeeze patterns and ideas. This tool enables you to test different squeeze patterns and refine our squeeze strategies to maximize P/L.
Module 4: Triple Pro Squeeze Scans
Create your first set of scans for the Triple Pro Squeeze using patterns from the backtester. You'll learn how to take an indicator and turn it into a scan in ThinkOrSwim.
Module 5: Triple Pro Squeeze Dashboard
Build a visual dashboard to monitor trades using Edge Signals and Market Pulse indicators. This helps you stay organized and know where the best squeezes are setting up.
Module 6: Squeeze Signals Indicator
Build the Squeeze Signals indicator, which takes our secret sauce pattern and turns it into exact entry points in squeezes that are gaining momentum and likely to fire soon.
Module 7: Bringing It All Together
Recap the journey from understanding the squeeze to building powerful signals. Solidify your knowledge one last time, before moving on to advanced modules.
Module 8: MTF Squeeze Histogram
Build a MTF Squeeze Histogram indicator to monitor multiple time frame squeeze histograms. You'll be able to see what the squeeze histogram looks like on 17 different time frames, in one click.
Module 9: MTF Triple Squeeze
Complete the set with a MTF Triple Squeeze indicator, to show you which of the 17 time frames have any of the 3 different squeezes forming. Combine this with the MTF Squeeze Histogram for a complete picture of trend, squeezes, and where there are opportunities.
Module 10: Slingshot Squeeze
Build the Slingshot Squeeze indicator, which is a powerful tool to help you identify early squeeze entries. You'll be able to use the Slingshot Squeeze to better time your squeeze entries, and improve your risk/reward ratio.
Module 11: Slingshot Squeeze Scans
Build scans to let ThinkOrSwim do the heavy lifting of finding Slingshot Squeezes setting up. You'll learn how to bypass some ThinkOrSwim limitations, and tap into the full potential of the scan tab.
Module 12: Slingshot Squeeze Backtester
Build the first part of our Slingshot Squeeze backtester, which allows you to test how effective the strategy has been over the past 20 years. You can test different exits to maximize your P/L, and trade the best squeezes.
Module 13: Slingshot Squeeze Backtester Stats
Add trade statistics to the Slingshot Squeeze backtester, including win/loss breakdowns and trade durations. These insights help you understand the performance of the Slingshot Squeeze, and make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Module 14: Squeeze Signals Backtester
Build the Squeeze Signals backtester, to test how effective the momentum entry signals have been over the past 20 years. Combine the Squeeze Signals and Slingshot Squeeze backtesters to find and trade only the best squeeze setups.
Module 15: Triple Squeeze Dashboard
Build a beautiful dashboard to monitor black, red, or yellow dot squeezes. This dashboard script lets you find hidden squeezes in your favorite markets, across multiple time frames.
Module 16: TTM Squeeze Histogram Pro Backtester
Create a backtester to evaluate the squeeze histogram's effectiveness in timing momentum shifts. Understanding these shifts can enhance your ability to predict market moves and time your squeeze trades better.
Module 17: Five Triple Pro Squeeze Dots in a Row Scan
Create a scan to find five consecutive Triple Pro Squeeze dots (red, black, yellow) across any time frame. The bullish and bearish scans let you quickly find squeezes that have been building up for some time, and have stacked moving averages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commonly asked questions around the Squeeze Course tools
The Squeeze Course is included for free with a Volatility Box membership. It is currently not available for purchase separately.
The Squeeze Course includes 19 in-depth modules, with more than 4.5 hours of thinkScript tutorials. The Squeeze Course also includes access to download all 15 of the indicators, backtesters, scans, and dashboards that we will build.
The built-in TTM Squeeze indicator uses a single compression to find squeezes that are forming. The Triple Pro Squeeze indicator extends this capability to 3 different compressions, and allows you to find hidden squeezes for earlier entries.
The TTM Squeeze has simply the red dot squeeze and the green dot squeeze.
The Triple Pro Squeeze has the red dot squeeze, the black dot squeeze, the yellow dot squeeze, and the green dot squeeze.
A red dot squeeze implies that we are in a period of consolidation, waiting for a breakout. This is a normal squeeze.
A black dot squeeze implies that we are starting to enter consolidation. This is considered an aggressive squeeze, and often times gives early entries.
A yellow dot squeeze implies that we are in a long period of consolidation. This is the slowest of the three squeezes, and often takes time for the squeeze to fire, also leading in slow, but powerful moves.
A green dot squeeze implies that we don't have a squeeze setting up currently. This will occur when the Bollinger Bands are outside of the Keltner Channel Bands.
We will build these squeeze backtesters in the course:
- Slingshot Squeeze Backtester
- Squeeze Signals Backtester
- Squeeze Histogram Backtester
- Triple Squeeze Backtester
Yes!
Yes! The Squeeze Course is updated throughout the year with new content and tools. We are selective in the modules we release, and typically spend 3-4 months researching and testing new ideas in live market conditions.
The TTM Squeeze method relies on using the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to identify periods of consolidation, before a breakout occurs.
If the Bollinger Bands cross inside of the Keltner Channels, we are in a squeeze.
If the Bollinger Bands cross back outside of the Keltner Channels, the squeeze is firing.
Most of Module 1 is spent looking under the hood of the TTM Squeeze indicator, to help you gain a good fundamental understanding of how the squeeze works.
We will build these squeeze indicators in the course:
- Triple Pro Squeeze
- Slingshot Squeeze
- Squeeze Signals
- MTF Triple Squeeze
- MTF Squeeze Histogram
- Multi-Market Analyzer
We will build these squeeze scans in the course:
- Slingshot Squeeze Scans
- Squeeze Signals Scans
- Triple Squeeze Dots Scans
