Fun with ThinkScript

Thank you

Getting the after hours volume:

In TOS I like to look at the post market movers under the Lovers and Losers tab because there can be events that you may want to 'take part in'. My issue is that I want to see the volume that happens with those stocks but I only want to see the after hours volume. I know about customizing the headers for your watchlists and I want to add the post market volume. So, basically I want to see the total running volume for these stocks that begins at 1500; 3pm CST.

This is what I've got:


def afthours = if secondsfromtime(1500)>=0 then 1 else 0;
def vol = reference VolumeAvg("length"=1);
plot volp = vol;

However, this only gives me the volume for what the timeframe I have chosen for the script and I have to have the chart set for that timeframe. I'd like to have the 1 minute chart up but see the running total volume beginng at 1500 in that watchlist. And if there is no volume with a stock but only a news alert that causes it to be listed in the Lovers and Losers it looks at the volume (for that timeframe) from when the market was still open.

So, how do a running total the volume from 1500 to say 2000?

Thanks

Hello guys,

New to the forum here.

I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the TTM scalper alert on TOS. I am looking for a means of having this alert as an audio alert. it is not currently an option. Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Can some one check this script for me, I need help by shifting the bubble to the left, basically what I want is 9:30 to 12:00 cloud and I want it to show on 9:30 - 12:00 range but script is starting to draw the cloud from 12:00 and to whatever i have it set




OpenRange {
input ORtime = 5;

def FirstBar = GetDay() != GetDay()[1];
def RangeTime = SecondsFromTime(930) >= 0 and SecondsFromTime(0930) < 60 * ORtime;
def Rhigh = if FirstBar then high else if RangeTime and high > Rhigh[1] then high else Rhigh[1];
def Rlow = if FirstBar then low else if RangeTime and low < Rlow[1] then low else Rlow[1];

plot h = if RangeTime then Double.NaN else Rhigh;
plot l = if RangeTime then Double.NaN else Rlow;
}


def first30 = SecondsFromTime(930) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(1600) >= 0;
def today = GetLastDay() == GetDay();


plot yHigh = if !today then Double.NaN else high(period = "day" )[1];
yHigh.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
plot yLow = if !today then Double.NAN else low(period = "day" )[1];
yLow.SetDefaultColor(Color.PINK);
plot h150 = if !Today then Double.NAN else if !first30 then Double.NaN else OpenRange(150).h;
h150.SetDefaultColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
plot l150 = if !today then Double.NAN else if !first30 then Double.NaN else OpenRange(150).l;
l150.SetDefaultColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);


plot LowLW = if !today then Double.NaN else low(period = "week" )[1];
LowLW.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

AddCloud (h150, l150, Color.LIGHT_GRAY);

Could someone help me in coding a script that will paint any Candle that has tail more than 50% of the Candle's body (tail candlestick) ? ( e.g. Pin Bar e.t.c.)

So, if the tail located above ----> Red Candle
if the tail located down ----> Green Candle

Is it possible ?

Very nice job

does that script come with the fib lines? nice to have you back Robert!

Thanks. I'm not fully back, though. At least, I cannot be as active as I used to be because life has changed quite a bit since last year and I don't have the time I used to have.


The auto-fibonacci levels are a part of the Basic Market Structure script

SARA Yeah it's easy to do, what type of signal on those candle do you want to see?

Now that I've done an auto-trend line, I believe my next project will be automatic fibonacci fans.

I want to detect that type of candle,
I don't want any candle that has two long tails in the same candle ( Doji ) only to detect pin bar (hammer , hanging man) candles.

excellent work robert... im really enjoying the auto trend lines script this week! works great for tech analysis when combined with your support/resistance lines and the pivot2 labels in your basic market structure. its saving me a lot of time from manually drawing the trend lines now.

question: is it possible to create a column script to label the cross up and downs signals for a watchlist? i tried but tos is saying the script was too complicated. do you think its due the "switch" statement in the beginning?

I am trying to setup an alert that will notify me every time the DI_ADX_TREND-INDICATOR goes from weak to strong. can someone tell me if what I have in the code section is the most efficient way to do this.

declare lower;
input DI_length = 5;
input ADX_length = 13;
input Strong_Trend = 25;

def DX = if (diplus(di_length) + diminus(di_length) > 0) then 100 * AbsValue(diplus(di_length) - diminus(di_length)) / (diplus(di_length) + diminus(di_length)) else 0;
plot ADX = WildersAverage(DX, adx_length);ADX.DefineColor("Stronger", Color.green);
ADX.DefineColor("Weaker", Color.blue);
ADX.AssignValueColor(if ADX > ADX[1] then ADX.Color("Stronger" ) else ADX.Color("Weaker" ));
ADX.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);
ADX.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);

AddCloud(ADX, 0, ADX.Color("stronger" ));
def weaker = if ADX < ADX[1] then ADX else Double.NaN;
AddCloud(weaker, 0, ADX.Color("weaker" ));

plot "DI+" = DIPlus(DI_length);
"DI+".SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
"DI+".SetLineWeight(2);

plot "DI-" = DIMinus(DI_length);
"DI-".SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
"DI-".SetLineWeight(2);

plot StrongTrend = Strong_Trend;
StrongTrend.SetDefaultColor(Color.black);
strongTrend.setlineWeight(2);

def Strong = if ADX > ADX[1] then ADX else Double.NaN;
alert(Strong, getsymbol() + "ADX Stronger", alert.bar, sound.bell);

Thank you for the kind words. It's always great to hear feedback from users who are happy with my scripts.

This script is far too complex to be used in the watchlist since it includes loops and recursive variables—neither of which are supported by the watchlist (or scanner for that matter).

John,

As currently written, the alert will sound for every bar that has and ADX value that is higher than the preceding one. From your description above, I believe that you are only wanting it to signal when the value changes from weak (ADX is sloping down) to strong (ADX is now sloping up).

Try this instead.

alert(Strong AND weaker[1], getsymbol() + "ADX Stronger", alert.bar, sound.bell);

This will alert when this bar is stronger but the previous one was weaker.

hello, just bought your auto trend lines, is it possible to also view the old trend lines?

That isn't possible as originally coded. I am working on adding that functionality now, though. However, it will require a serious change in methodology.

thats what i was afraid of... wishful thinking

robert i was playing with your autotrendlines and added a set of shorter term trend lines for my personal preference of swing trading (3 to 20 days). i like the ones you have now off the p2pivots, but felt the p1s might provide myself with more trade signals. if you felt there may be enough traders interested then i thought respectfully you may wish to consider adding this option if you were currently already working on a version 2. (although this option may not appeal really to day traders as much?) i did the same for your basicmarketstructure fibs, i added a p2 range just like your p3 range so i have the option of both shorter or intermediate time frame fibs with a simple toggle now. just my personal thoughts in case you were curious about user feedbacks so far. both excellent scripts... couldn't be more pleased

So I'm working on a Watchlist column. I'd like to have the watchlist column show the date that the stock had a split within the last 43 days. I can get the script to show today's date but it won't show the date that the stock split in the last 43 days. The reason I stopped at 43 is because any more than that the the script gives an error of being to complex.

I've been working on this for weeks now and I seem to be at a stand still.

Where have I gone wrong??? I just know it has to be something simple that I'm overlooking.

Heading to dinner, so no time for a complete answer this evening. You need to use a self-referencing variable to maintain a running total.

Something along the lines of this (not an actual line of code)

def CumulativeVolume = if {bar@1500} then volume else CumulativeVolume[1] + volume;

I'm using roberts reversal areas as my swing targets after breakouts. I'm still fairly new to thinkscript, but my understanding is currently his script has a previous peak extend as a dashed line to the start of the next peak. i would like to modify this where the previous peak only extends for me when todays close comes within 1/2% of that peak level... otherwise it would remain unextended.

i referenced roberts other post about when a price is inRange of a set percentage. ive added definitions for inRange and percentage but can't seem to get it to work. would anyone have advice where I'm going wrong please?

as i have it now the previous peak is not extending like i intended:

# continue the previous peak as a dashed line
def percent = 0.5;
def inRange = close between (peak*(1-percent/100)) and (peak*(1+percent/100));
def oldpeak = if BarNumber() < magnitude then Double.NaN else if peak and inRange then peakvalue[1] else oldpeak[1];
plot oldpeakline = oldpeak;
     oldpeakline.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
     oldpeakline.SetDefaultColor(Color.light_green);

Welcome back, Robert! I use this code a lot on my charts. But Is there any way to make this code into a "scan" ?

Nope. It is far to complex. That script uses several loops (fold statements) to look at what happens after the current bar. See this post for an explanation as to why the scan cannot "look into the future".

i would like to modify this where the previous peak only extends for me when todays close comes within 1/2% of that peak level... otherwise it would remain unextended.

def inRange = close between (peak*(1-percent/100)) and (peak*(1+percent/100));

i'm thinking my problem lies with the definition of "close". i was thinking that close with no brackets would be understood as todays close, but after doing some reading I'm curious now if the script is interpreting it as a cumulative close of all the bars currently shown on the chart?

would i need to somehow define todays close by using a barNumber() function maybe?

Hey Robert,

Glad to see you are lurking the boards still.

It's amazing, simply amazing!!! Your five lines of code destroyed my 30 or so lines. And the speed with which you whipped it out. Man that was fast.

I'll get it added and see how it turns out. I'm sure I'll have to mod it just a tiny bit as I'm trying to create 2 scripts. One watch list that scans Pre-split and one that does post-split. I'm also making 2 more watch list columns, one that shows the date of upcoming earnings, and another that shows whether earnings release is before or after market hours.


Thanks for squaring me away!!!
Much appreciated.

Robert:

Thanks for the help. I'm getting an error from

def CumulativeVolume = if {bar @ begin_time} then volume else CumulativeVolume[1] + volume;

Here is what I have:

input begin_time = 1500;

def afthours = if secondsfromtime(begin_time)>=0 then 1 else 0;

def CumulativeVolume = if {bar @ begin_time} then volume else CumulativeVolume[1] + volume;

plot CumulativeVolume;


Any thoughts?

Will buy you a round
