Fun with ThinkScript

I have a code for an inside bar. Does anyone know how to get it to color (paint bar) only after the bar closes as a true inside bar?

Also put that code in a watch-list so it will flag only after the bar closes? Thanks



plot Data = close;
def insideBar = if
(High[0] < High[1] && Low[0] > Low[1])

then
yes else no;

input price = close;

plot insideBarFlag = double.nan;

insideBarFlag.DefineColor("insidebarcolor", color.blue);

AssignPriceColor(if insideBar then insideBarFlag.color("insidebarcolor" else
color.current);

# // End of script

" All of your drawings will be saved automatically and immediately, and they are stored in the cloud so, no matter where you log in to your thinkorswim, [you have no privacy]. "


and you can never completely delete any drawings.

the only way to retain your privacy is to never draw anything on your charts again ... ever.

I agree with your sentiment. This has to be the worst "upgrade" ever.

Does anyone know if there's a way to write this script so it will give the lowest close for the day (instead of the lowest low)?

Low("period" = AggregationPeriod.DAY)

If not is there another script that will show the lowest close for the day during market hours? Thanks,

I'm attempting to add a 15min aggregation to the original TRIX indicator. Can anyone here please help me with this task?

Quote

declare lower;

input length = 9;
input colorNormLength = 14;
input price = close;
input signalLength = 3;

def tr = ExpAverage(ExpAverage(ExpAverage(Log(price), length), length), length);

plot TRIX = (tr - tr[1]) * 10000;
plot Signal = ExpAverage(TRIX, signalLength);
plot ZeroLine = 0;

TRIX.DefineColor("Highest", Color.YELLOW);
TRIX.DefineColor("Lowest", Color.LIGHT_RED);
TRIX.AssignNormGradientColor(colorNormLength, TRIX.color("Lowest" ), TRIX.color("Highest" ));
Signal.setDefaultColor(GetColor(3));
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

My line of thinking is that the aggregation line has to be placed in this portion of the code:

Quote

def tr = ExpAverage(ExpAverage(ExpAverage(Log(price), length), length), length);

however I can't figure it out...


Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Has anyone been able to code the Arnaud Legoux moving average (ALMA) in Thinkscript?

I find this one appealing because its based on normal distribution. From what I can tell, when compared to other moving averages, it gives the best speed, with the best smoothness, and does it objectively (similar to splines). It's very similar to the Hull moving average, but does not have the overshoot (error) that Hull does.

It seems this moving average has been coded for most other platforms. I can't seem to find it for thinkscript.

I've attempted to recreate it using the code from other platforms as a guide, but have yet to be successful.

In the following code I would like the line to be drawn right beneath the low of the defined length. As is sometimes the scaling is a little out of whack:

def lineLength = length;
def barNumber = BarNumber();
def barCount = highestAll(If(IsNaN(close), 0, barNumber));
def closeLine = if barNumber == 1 then Double.NaN else if barNumber == barCount - lineLength then close[-lineLength] else if barNumber == barCount then Double.NaN else closeLine[1];
plot data = closeLine*.99;
data.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.dASHES);

Was hoping somebody could help me with a thinkscript question.

As an example lets say that when the close of bar X is greater than the previous day high on the chart i want to check from that point forward to the current bar for a condition, aka lets say that I want to see if the lowest low on any bars in the future is lower than the close of the bar X.

I am having trouble finding the code that would allow me to search for that condition as part of the code.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello Robert

I am new to forum and thinkscript coding... I main focus on price action..

I want to scan a candle closing below 9ema also making sure the previous candle is red (close below open)...

Also how the code works for identifying position of moving average? I mean ema 9 should be below ema20

Thanks
Jack

Hi there...GREAT site...I have not able to find a suitable Trading Sessions Indicator for TOS...Halfwaybacktrading has one that might work with some modification...

Trying to plot H/L for the Trading Sessions London/New York/Sydney/Tokyo...
Only problem, it does not plot all the time frames properly...




Can anyone help?

# I use this study mostly on the euro futures. So the default windows

# how an instrument moves within a trading window. The euro futures
# often trade their high or low of the day at or near the open. This
# study makes that easy to see. This study automates the task of having
# to manually draw rectangles around the trading windows and ranges.
# It also illustrates just how slow the euro gets after the european close.
# Makes it easy to see when you should be actively trading and when you

Hi, can someone share TOS polynomial regression channel and the wolfe wave indicators if they have, I really appreciate your help, thanks

hi

Hello id like to be able to count the last 10 bars in moving average of volume.

exmaple :

last 10 bars moving average = 15,000
last 10 bars volume = 5000

I dont want to just count the bars, i want to count the difference in volume average and current volume in the last 10 bars at 1 mintue 1 day.

I need just the 'open' part of this script to use the daily Aggregation (close AGG = MIN);


def X = Round(close(“GOOG" - open(“GOOG”)[1]);

I can’t figure out how to add a day Aggregation script to it so TOS will accept it;

("period" = AggregationPeriod.DAY)


Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Hi All,

I'm new here and have a simple question. From the TS manual I found the following:

..."AddOrder(type, condition, price, tradeSize, tickColor, arrowColor, name);
Aside from previously described “type” and “condition”, arguments also include price, trade size, tick color, arrow color and name. Argument “price” defines price at which the order is added (by default, it is the Open of the following bar),"...

So a CONDITION is met and the order is executed on THE NEXT BAR.

Is there a way to specify that the order is executed when the condition is met and not on the following bar.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Robert, Is there anyway to modify this code to include any candle that closes inside the previous candle? Right now it shows inside bars, Id like to add another color (paint bar) if it wicks above / below but still closes inside the previous bar. Thank you


plot Data = close;
def insideBar = if
(High[0] < High[1] && Low[0] > Low[1])

then
yes else no;

input price = close;

plot insideBarFlag = double.nan;

insideBarFlag.DefineColor("insidebarcolor", color.blue);

AssignPriceColor(if insideBar then insideBarFlag.color("insidebarcolor" else
color.current);

# // End of script

Hey guys great blog, I am looking for a volume indicator that only plots bars that have above average volume. I would like them to show red for down bars and green for up bars. I have tried everything I know and no luck. This would be a blank indicator on days that had no bars over the average volume say on a 5 minute time frame, would like to be able to change time frames though. I know I can rub to pieces of coal together long enough and I will have a diamond also.

I may be late to the game, as this thread doesn't seem very active lately... but I thought I would post my question anyway.

First, thank you all for the information provided here. It has been very helpful in getting my feet wet with thinkscript and learning some basic things I can write.

[*] I want to plot a line between current low and prior low.

[*] by reading through this thread I found the recursive variable to count the bars.
[*] def run = if Valley then 1 else run[1] + 1;
[*] Using that I have been able to access the historical low value I want.

[*] but I cannot seem to figure out the plot syntax to put a line between the two.

one would think drawing a line between point A and point B would be a simple task; but then again thinkscript does seem overtly complicated.

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Rasna -- You'd want to be specific about the actual price at which the condition is met, then place the "price" one bar back.
For example, if you wanted to buy the value of a moving average as price crosses it, it'd look something like this....

def Avg = average(close, 20);
plot TickAvg = round(Avg / ticksize(), 0) * ticksize();

** you have to be sure the value you're buying is an actual price at which you can buy - for instance, in the ES, you can only buy 0.25.
** so, for this example, I've rounded the 20 period simple moving average to the closest tick size.
** then, the buy logic....

def BuySignal =
if high crosses above TickAvg
then TickAvg
else if close crosses above TickAvg
then TickAvg
else double.nan;

** this way, if any part of a bar crosses above the moving average, it's a buy signal....

addorder(
ordertype.BUY_AUTO,
BuySignal[-1],
BuySignal[-1],
name = “B: $“ +BuySignal[-1],
arrowcolor = color.green,
tickcolor = color. green);

** by using [-1], it places the buy signal AT the cross, not the following bar. Of course, you always have to check signal validity.
** in cases like gaps over the moving average, it'll show the buy at a price not buyable, if that makes sense.

Hi Robert

Wonder if you or somebody can help me with this,in a 5 min chart, I need to get the closing price of the bar which has the highest volume in the interval 0930 to 11 am. Of course, it would happen that that close will change with time if a new highest volume bar appears...

Thanks

In the mov. avg. inputs they have many different choices like close, open, (H+L)/2, and so on.
What I was wondering how to do a mov. avg. with your own input formulas?
Like say have a mov. avg. that plots the the point between the mid-point of open and the close and the close?
Meaning if the close was 10 and the low was 6, the mid-point would be 8. So the avg. would be a 7 bar avg.
between mid-point8 an d close 10.
So it seems it would be?

Close +open /2 + Close/2
Not sure it that is correct or not?

Can anyone write a mov. avg. code to do the above?

Thanks,

After some thinking and head scratching, I figured it out. So I have what I need about the above post.
As an older non-programmer, it ain't easy.
I do have other stuff I may ask about if I can't figure it out.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has a scan for red to green or green to red moves?

Thanks in advance
