Fun with ThinkScript

THANKS!

Thanks man..

Thanks devildriver6! This looks like it will work. I will give this a try. Thank you!

Hi All,

Great group here lots of good information. I have been using a MACD Divergence script for a few weeks, I didnt write it. I would like to scan for Bull fast and slow, Bear fast and slow. When I use the normal methods of "true" and =0 don't work, I get the dreaded "complex" error, Can someone look to see if its possible to simplifier the code so the scan can be performed? thanks for any help

Hi Ralph53

Here's a spread label script that I use, Is this what you want?

input label = Yes;

def rBID = if !isNaN(close(priceType="BID" )) then close(priceType="BID" ) else rBID[1];

def rASK = if !isNaN(close(priceType="ASK" )) then close(priceType="ASK" ) else rASK[1];

def spread = rASK - rBID;

AddLabel(label, "BID " + rBID, if rBID > rBID[1] then Color.GREEN else if rBID < rBID[1] then Color.RED else Color.GRAY);
AddLabel(label, "ASK " + rASK, if rASK > rASK[1] then Color.GREEN else if rASK < rASK[1] then Color.RED else Color.GRAY);

addLabel(label, "SPREAD " + spread );

yes, but how can i incorporate teh flashing label with this


def flash = if close(priceType = "LAST" == close(priceType = "BID"
then 1
else if close(priceType = "LAST" == close(priceType = "ASK"
then -1
else 0;
addLabel(1, "test", if flash == 1 then color.green
else if flash == -1
then color.red

else color.white);

Have u found this code works well as far giving good signals? How do you use this code to trade?

I am trying to figure out if a certain condition is true within n number of bars

so right now it looks very long and inefficient wondering if there is a easier way to do this I think fold function might help but I am not very familiar with it and am not able to make it work, here is how it looks right now.

(condition[1] or condition[2] or condition[3] or condition[4] or condition[5] or condition[6]..... or condition[n]) is true

Perfect thank you so much! Robert. So I tried a different method somebody else suggested was to use the
"condition true with n bars"
which also did give me what I was looking for, any reason you may think the above mentioned solution may not work?

Also I have another followup question on this how do I record the value where that certain condition is true so for example say:
Condition is true at bar 5 I want to know the high & low value of that bar to move forward with my calculation.

I want to start by saying you guys do some awesome work and create awesome indicators. I trade mostly futures. I trying to find a way to filter out lots of a certain size to determine if 50 lot (50-99) traders and 100 lot (100-150) are buying or selling. Then plot it on a chart so I can determine if they are idle, buying or selling. I use both TOS and Ninjatrader 8. I know of services that provide it but they want 400 a month for a subscription. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

Futuresnoob.

now it is actually possible to see what is happening on a 5 minute globex candlestick chart .... . instead of just seeing mush

I think I'm looking for something simple, but can't figure it out. Can anyone tell me how to scan for stocks in TOS where the current price breaks either the previous candle (I use 60 minute candles) high or low? For good measure, ATR should also be greater than 50 cents. Thanks in advance!

Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between Close > Open and Close - Open? Do they mean the same thing.

"Close > Open" is a comparison. Is the closing price greater than the opening price? This will evaluate to either True or False

"Close - Open" is a math equation. What is the difference between the closing price and the opening price? This will evaluate to a number like 1.79.

Thank you so much Robert for the explanation. Maybe you can help me with this script. Is there a way to write a script for multiple time frame MacDs that line up in sync. As a color dot indicator for the bottom of the chart. Example would be when the 12-26-9 macd value is above zero and value is above Avg all on the H1 , H4 , Daily , and weekly then I get a green dot and when it's below zero for all timeframes it's a red dot.

This forum has "automatic smiley" enabled. So anytime the message board encounters a quotation mark followed immediately by a close parenthesis it automatically converts that to a winking smiley. Like so...

") automatically becomes "

To get around this when I post scripts, I will first open my script in a text editor then do a search and replace as follows:

search for: ")
replace with: " ) (that's [quotation mark][space][close parenthesis] )

After doing that I then paste my script on here.

Before:

def dailyHigh = high(period = "day";

After:

def dailyHigh = high(period = "day" );

Sure it does. Just press [CMD]+[F]. Although, I much prefer the free TextWrangler editor from BareBones software.

Is it possible to scan for stocks that have low float on thinkorswim

Firstly Thank you for this great resource !! I've learnt heats but struggling to figure out how to perform the following scenario:

Because of my timezone I start my trading day at 12:00 EST. I'm looking for a way to run a scan that with be "true" if the "high" > "open" any time between 9:30 EST and 12:00 EST and then if the 50MA > 200MA at the time I actually execute the scan, so from 12 noon onwards. So essentially look back to the morning hours and set some kind of flag to true ....

Hope that makes sense ?


Thanks Andrew

Hey guys,

EDIT: Nevermind, I was able to work through the issues I was having, and had some help from some of the guys in the thinkorswim Think Script chat room.

Best regards,
Derek

Hello, I would like to add a chart study where, on a 1 min chart, 9 period EMAs of 15 min and 60 min aggregation are shown. Would that be easy to script?
Thanks in advance

Sefano - you just need to add different aggregations, but this only goes one way (time frames LARGER than chart level).

Like this...


input length = 9;
input displace = 0;
input Period_1 = aggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN;
input Period_2 = aggregationPeriod.HOUR;

## Chart Level EMA
plot ChartAvg = ExpAverage(close[-displace], length);

## 15 Minute EMA
plot "15EMA" = ExpAverage(close(period = Period_1)[-displace], length);

## Hourly EMA
plot "60EMA" = ExpAverage(close(period = Period_2)[-displace], length);


Erase what you don't need.

Now I have a question I can't quite figure out.

I'm trying to get the average of the volume bars, but I ONLY want the after hours bars to be calculated in the After Hours volume average, and ONLY the RTH bars to be calculated within the RTH volume average, both within the same indicator.

This way, it takes the averages of both sections and isn't too high in AHs and too low in RTHs.

Maybe Robert can help here.

This will get you started.

# determine when the market is open
def mktIsOpen = SecondsFromTime(0930) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(1600) > 0;

# calculate volume when the market is open
plot volRTH = if mktIsOpen then volume else Double.NaN;

# calculate volume when the market is closed
plot volAH = if !mktIsOpen then volume else Double.NaN;
