  3. 06:33 harndog: gm
  4. 07:43 beergas: gm harndog. Be busy for next few hours but in ref to last nite comments about IE, FF & Chrome - html link opened ok in Chrome, but do find Edge very fast w/ Trade Architect & at certain sites. Spectrum's email system bites Chrome. Often get msg it's "down for maintenance" only to go right in w/ Edge, nav under Chrome there too is ultra slow.
  5. 07:49 Shizznet: Morning tculs/room
  6. 08:01 Nube: Maybe it's got something to do with Comcast here then. Thanks for the added info, beer.
  7. 08:02 Nube: or maybe I should clear cache more frequestly then never
  8. 08:11 MTS1: Morning all!
  9. Slightly updated first draft option for FAQ 'public service announcement' if there is interest to maintain it this way: http://tos.mx/ENQofH
  10. 08:11 beergas: Nube yes cache clearing gets mention by support sites a lot per Chrome, like at banks for one. Does get annoying since tend to forget to it (clear back to beginning option). So trying to keep Edge handy for those places.
  11. 08:14 Nube: Need a hand with this one. I am almost certain I making some sort of really basic mistake but can't seem to find it. Testing out tryi to stop the the PSAR from progressing during certain times.
  12. 08:14 Nube: #
  13. # Where is my logic busted?
  14. # These work when dropped into the stock PSAR

  64. 08:15 beergas: MTS1 looks like all the high points. Format is bit odd, like how to enlarge font?
  65. 08:18 Nube: For reference, using the first pair of statements results in this, but I only want it to pause under certain conditions
  66. 08:18 Nube:
  67. 08:19 Nube:
  68. 08:22 beergas: Nube been using PSAR myself in some scans. 2 colors like yours. Last Pic, 7 u are using PSAR as stop? For ref have you looked into Mobius PSAR work? Are u tryiing to have PSAR auto reduce its value (lower stop for breathe some)?
  69. 08:22 MTS1: Yea realize format gets messed up if it's not opened to the same size or larger. May need to rethink that; there is limit to number of characters in text box so can't combine paragraphs. Text size / color etc can be adjusted inthe box properties.
  70. 08:23 beergas: MTS1 thanks I'm in rush so gtk text size adjusts. Maybe Word or Notepad++?
  71. 08:24 beergas: afk plz save buffer if gets large.
  72. 08:36 harndog: MST - Thank you and the issue is when the chart updates keeping it clear.
  73. 08:37 Shizznet: Ugh Nube, not even an email address on your MyTrade.
  74. 08:37 Shizznet: -_-
  75. 08:39 MTS1: Harn; not sure what you mean? If you mean time scrolling; the chart's time period is frozen to first trading day of the year.
  76. 08:39 MTS1: Nube; no help here, sorry. Both S and up/downPause seem to be boolean. .
  77. 08:39 harndog: MST, the benefit of the snippet copy and paste is some percentage of newbies, will not know how to open a script and expand it. I.e. the copy and paste work as it keeps them in the same "channel."
  78. 08:40 harndog: MTS, sorry, I did not know that...
  79. 08:40 harndog: That's good.
  80. 08:40 harndog: How about a combo - snippet and chart...
  81. 08:41 MTS1: Do you need to def uppause / downpause first to be able to use them in the SAR statement like that?
  82. 08:41 harndog: Or, "you seem new" and this clicking this chart will give you some basic guidelines...
  83. 08:42 harndog: "Play with the chart size to see all the text."
  84. 08:43 MTS1: Yep; liked the link, short and easy, we could link to PasteBin maybe, but admin probably prefers tos.mx link. Same thinking on sharing a script link; may be too complex to easilly share for newbies. Was trying to keep the chat box clean by not having to paste snippets, but that may be easiest.
  85. 08:44 MTS1: or 'open the link in your browser instead of TOS and click on the image'
  86. 08:45 Nube: MTS, I do have them defined earlier in the study. This is how they plot
  87. 08:45 Nube:
  88. 08:45 Nube: I have myself confused to no end
  89. 08:46 MTS1: I mean you have plot here: plot UpPause = TrendState == 1 and S;
  90. plot DownPause = TrendState == -1 and S;
  91. But and you use them directly here SAR = max(max(high, high[1]), SAR[1] + (if S then 0 else acc * (extreme - SAR[1])));
  92. SAR = min(min(low, low[1]), SAR[1] + (if S then 0 else acc * (extreme - SAR[1])));
  93. 08:46 MTS1: Rember I'm newbie myself; but I recall that sometimes you have to def first, and just difference I noticed iwth the other SAR statemetns that do work
  94. 08:47 harndog: Let me think about it...issue is the outside links, and this is where the chart share works "better"
  95. 08:47 Nube: I think see what you're saying, MTS.
  96. 08:47 MTS1: Sorry wrong SAR statement; I meant you use them directly in these SAR statementsSAR = max(max(high, high[1]), SAR[1] + (if DownPause then 0 else acc * (extreme - SAR[1])));
  97. SAR = min(min(low, low[1]), SAR[1] + (if UpPause then 0 else acc * (extreme - SAR[1])));
  98. 08:48 harndog: bbl
  99. 08:48 Nube: I have the SAR statments poasted before the the variables in them are defined.
  100. 08:49 Nube: i do however have them in the correct order in the actual study. I just wanted to put the problem I'm having at the top of the post
  101. 08:49 Nube: Basically, it's ECi with a c&p of the stock PSAR on the end
  102. 08:50 MTS1: I figured that when I read it, but was wondering if you can use a value that is defined with "plot" directly in that SAR statemetn, or if it needed to be defined wiht "def" instead. Again not sure, but a newbie question. .
  103. 08:52 Nube: Ah. For reference you can use a plot statement the same way.
  104. 08:52 Nube: You can't use recursion in a plot statement though
  105. 08:53 Nube: So that TrendState for example couldn't be a plot statement.
  106. 08:53 Nube: You'd have to do something like plot ts = TrendState
  107. 08:54 Nube: Shizz, updated mytrade
  108. 08:58 Shizznet: lol
  109. 09:00 UpTheCreek: watch out, he's going psuedo public now
  110. 09:05 Nube: Only because I need to for my Indicator Empire. How else will people find out about my seminars
  111. 09:05 UpTheCreek: lol
  112. 09:06 Shizznet: Tuesdays?
  113. 09:10 Nube: Now I'm super double confused. The statements that break the stock SAR and make it not plot anything, have a value in a label
  114. 09:10 Nube: addlabel(1," Long SAR: " + min(min(low, low[1]), SAR[1] + (if UpPause then 0 else acc * (extreme - SAR[1]))), Color.Gray);
  115. 09:13 UpTheCreek: kinda lost in the intertwined discussions. so what is the real code here? your 4 SAR statements really moved to the bottom of the ECI code?
  116. 09:15 Nube: ECi with the stock SAR at the bottom
  117. 09:16 Nube: Just wanting to pause the progress of the stop when flagging
  118. 09:17 Nube: Esxcept only when a the flags are trending in the same direction
  119. 09:19 UpTheCreek: remember labels only work on last bar data, if something like low doesn't exist given it's now saturday, it may kill the label
  120. 09:37 gvinmo: Guys...anyone know how to highlight a chart area and have it give you the backtest results for a period of time? Also where the backtesting setup screen is...Thx
  121. 09:42 Nube: Strategies tab in the edit studies window
  122. 09:42 DMonkey: gvinmo....stratagies are used for backtesting.....they run the length of the chart...from begging to end.....you can look at the stratagey report for bracketed times if you need too....
  123. 09:42 UpTheCreek: you are thinking about it backwards, make the chart itself span the dates you care about
  124. 09:44 AlphaInvestor: ^^ what up said
  125. 09:44 DMonkey: cherry picking....
  126. 10:02 Nube: This appears to be the ofending statement. It breaks the stock PSAR but does plot on it's own.
  127. 10:04 Nube: def TrendState = if S1 > S1[1]
  128. then 1
  129. else if S1 < S1[1]
  130. then -1
  131. else TrendState[1];
  132. 10:05 Nube:
  133. 10:05 Nube: plots on the lower, but will break the plot on the supper if I reference that statement in it
  134. 10:06 gvinmo: I have my strategy setup and working in the chart, but how specifically to you get the results to appear in a report form?
  135. 10:06 gvinmo: Thx
  136. 10:06 Nube: SAR = Min(Min(low, low[1]), SAR[1] + (if TrendState == 1 then 0 else acc * (extreme - SAR[1])));
  137. 10:07 Nube: ^^ breaks it
  138. 10:07 UpTheCreek: gv, right click on one of the trades it shows
  139. 10:07 Nube: SAR = Min(Min(low, low[1]), SAR[1] + (if S then 0 else acc * (extreme - SAR[1]))); <--- Does not break it
  140. 10:08 UpTheCreek: gv, have you really not read the manual? http://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/howToTos/tutorials/Basic/Chapter-7---Creating-Strategies.html
  141. 10:08 Nube: gvin, right click on one the trades on the chart and that will give you an option to view report
  142. 10:09 AlphaInvestor: Nube any chance Trendstate takes on n/a anywhere on your chart?
  143. 10:10 Nube: Nowhere. Plots clean from first to last
  144. 10:10 gvinmo: Thanks have read bits and pieces but have a lot more to review.Thx again
  145. 10:10 AlphaInvestor: If so, maybe use isnan() to fix it, or use compoundvalue() to initialize it
  146. 10:11 DMonkey: gvin.... http://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/howToTos/thinkManual/charts/Using-Studies-and-Strategies/strategies-setup/report.html
  147. 10:11 AlphaInvestor: CompoundValue is a kinda universal cure for such ailments
  148. 10:11 Nube: Bah, I lied, Alpha.
  149. 10:11 AlphaInvestor: Knew it
  150. 10:12 Nube: Had the chartzoomed it. It can't have a value before the ECI calculates
  151. 10:12 AlphaInvestor: Yw
  152. 10:12 Nube: So it is is "retroactively" breaking the script. That's what I'm going with as an excuse, anyway.
  153. 10:13 gvinmo: 1 more quick one...how to you bracket a range of trades?
  154. 10:15 AlphaInvestor: Two interesting research papers out this week. The first looks at three styles of Factor investing - Combination, Intersection, and Sequential. I use Intersection - quite by accident
  155. 10:16 Nube: Many thanks, Alpha
  156. 10:16 AlphaInvestor: The second looks at the performance of Factor investing during the four phases of the market cycle.
  157. 10:16 Nube: All that brain damge over if bar <= EciLength then 1 else
  158. 10:17 AlphaInvestor: Sorry I wasn't on earlier before all the head banging
  159. 10:21 Nube: Well just never log off again.
  160. 10:24 UpTheCreek: I much prefer values above/below to labels
  161. 10:26 Nube: I had it plotted, but still missed it.
  162. 10:26 gvinmo: Also, where is the best place to get the thinscript manual from to print out?
  163. 10:26 Nube: I gvinmo, when you figure that out, let us know.
  164. 10:27 Shizznet: lol
  165. 10:29 Nube: Now I can work on making the math not stick on ice, which is what ~should~ have been the real challenge
  166. 10:29 hawkeye1: Hello to all - Would someone remind me how to open 2nd instance of the editor? I can't remember how to!!
  167. 10:29 Nube: *stink on ice either
  168. 10:30 Nube: If there at any home gamers, Alphas fix was exactly correct
  169. 10:31 Nube:
  170. 10:31 UpTheCreek: if you feel the need to do that, a number of us use notepad++
  171. 10:31 Anonymous so far: You might have to do a lot of work. Take screenshots of all the manual screens. Convert them to PDF, link them and print it out
  172. 10:33 Nube: I wrote my copy out in cursive with a feather and ink well
  173. 10:33 Nube: On the finest parchment, of course
  174. 10:34 UpTheCreek: only the best, nube
  175.  
  176. hawk, guess you could open a second instance of ToS to get a 2nd editor, seems like overkill.
  177. 10:37 UpTheCreek: looks good nube, wasn't quite visualizing what yu had in mind
  178. 10:38 hawkeye1: I may be wrong but I remember they added the capability while back but do not remember how it was done! thanks muchly anyway.
  179. 10:40 UpTheCreek: let us know if you find it, I'm not sure you willl
  180. 10:41 Nube: I remember that being talked about, but I don't think I ever saw it implemented
  181. 10:42 Nube: Something about it allowing two editor windows or the editor and chat
  182. 10:43 UpTheCreek: maybe they'll do that when they break out chat into its own world so it doesn't intefere with studies
  183. 10:44 hawkeye1: you guys/gals maybe right, my memory is not as good anymore!!
  184. 10:45 Nube: Homegamers: Rookie mistake - if bn <= LengthFE*2 then 1 else
  185. 10:46 UpTheCreek: gettin all scientific on us I see
  186. 10:48 Shizznet: looks pretty N
  187. 10:59 AlphaInvestor: Nube - Sharing is Caring
  188. 11:00 AlphaInvestor: P. S. I am on mobile
  189. 11:02 Nube: I don't have anything to share yet. It's a butchered pretty badly at this point, but should have something by the end of the weekend
  190. 11:03 AlphaInvestor: Gotcha - looks interesting from the charts you have shared
  191. 11:08 UpTheCreek: the room does love its lipstick
  192. 11:10 woulf1004: does anybody know if there is a market delta profile indicator of net buys and sells that can be plotted on the chart?
  193. 11:11 Nube: The basic idea may have merit, but executing in a way that makes sense will be the hard part
  194. 11:15 harndog: On the theme of hacking Sir Mobius ECI script.... https://www.screencast.com/t/Redma1cKZFsx
  195. 11:15 harndog: http://tos.mx/eBJHJz#
  196. 11:16 harndog:
  197. 11:17 harndog: BBL - getting the hook
  198. 11:23 Jake-Elwood: woulf, it sounds like from your brief description that volume at bid and ask is gonna be required, things that we don't have access to here
  199. 11:25 woulf1004: so there is no way that bid/ask volume profile can be modified for more detail info with net buys and sells ploted in two different colors with each respective value?
  200. 11:25 woulf1004: thanks Jake
  201. 11:28 woulf1004: I am also looking for a modified volume profile that also plots the mid price between the high and low of the day and the mid price of the value high and low of the day. thanks
  202. 11:31 hawkeye1: UpTheCreek: in notepad++ what language is the closest to TOS Script? What do you use?
  203. 11:35 Nube: (Valueareahigh + valuearealow)/2
  204. 11:35 Nube: (high + low) / 2
  205. 11:37 UpTheCreek: I usually use just plain notepad++, tho some have tried to model thinkscript operators in it
  206. 11:40 Anonymous so far: Volume at bid is both buyer and seller, volume at ask also both buyer and seller, so useless info by itself imo
  207. 11:41 hawkeye1: Thanks UpTheCreek
  208. 11:42 Jake-Elwood: I thought one of those nPP lang files was shared recently, but I can't find it so far
  209. 11:46 Nube: http://tos.mx/lU8AwD#
  210. 11:47 Nube: Not likely to make it sensible today, but that's I'm putting it away for the afternoon. That's what is so far.
  211. 11:56 Jake-Elwood: hawk, ask MTS, I think he was aksing about it before
  212. 11:59 fredw: thinkscript gurus. anyone knows which built-in indicators in tos uses GetAggregationPeriod function?
  213. 12:02 UpTheCreek: none come to mind
  214. 12:02 UpTheCreek: u have a speciic question?
  215. 12:03 Nube: All the native studies come from the same pace that supplies the data so I can't imagine a study needing to request that. I could be thinking wrong though.
  216. 12:05 UpTheCreek: if you only wanted to have a study work on a daily agg, you could use that for enforcement. the declares aren't that specific
  217. 12:06 fredw: thanks
  218. 12:09 fredw: how do you make vertical lines thicker or smaller as you zoom in and out a chart
  219. 12:09 Jake-Elwood: no control for that
  220. 12:14 fredw: ok
  221. 12:18 fredw: UTC I wanted see instances where GetAggregationPeriod is required in a script
  222. 12:19 fredw: found an example in the manual from your link
  223. 12:19 fredw: πŸ‘
  224. 12:30 Nube: Fred, here's another example the people in the room helped me out with a while back.
  225. 12:30 Nube: #
  226. # Variable length moving average. Changes lengths for daily, weekly and monthly
  227. declare hide_on_intraday;
  228.  
  229. input AverageType = AverageType.Simple;
  230.  
  231. def Agg = GetAggregationPeriod();
  232. def Month = AggregationPeriod.MONTH;
  233. def Week = AggregationPeriod.WEEK;
  234. def Day = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
  235. def dam = MovingAverage(AverageType,Close,200 );
  236. def wam = MovingAverage(AverageType,close,40 );
  237. def mam = MovingAverage(AverageType,close,10 );
  238.  
  239. plot MA = if Agg == Month then mam else
  240. if Agg == Week then wam else dam;
  241. 12:31 UpTheCreek: my job here is done :)
  242. 12:45 mort1: Is there a script for TOS to automate putting Expected Move on a chart?
  243. 12:54 gvinmo: What's the code for "entry price"
  244. 13:03 gvinmo: Trying to get one last Thinkscript code for the time being Bar[Close ,30] <= (EntryPrice*.67) Thanks in advance!
  245. 13:03 Anonymous so far: If I had a code for entry price that worked I would be a billionaire
  246. 13:04 mort1: what is Mobus web site address
  247. 13:12 Shizznet: Be aware TDA prohibits soliciting, posting personal information, vulgar language or posting outside links in any of their chat rooms.
  248. 13:14 Shizznet: gvinmo, EntryPrice() is a function.
  249. 13:15 Jake-Elwood: gvinmo doesn't believe in reading the manual
  250. 13:33 Shizznet: I like it, MTS1.
  251. 14:21 DMonkey: gvinmo.... http://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Others/EntryPrice.html
  252. 14:24 Shizznet: Hopefully he sees that when he comes back.
  253. 14:24 Preacher: I am beginning to use the bollinger band crossover scanner. My question is the scanning criteria is using the close for the stock. What is this? Is it only for the end of the day close or is it acting as the last price for intraday scanning?
  254. 14:25 DMonkey: close is the current floating price...
  255. 14:26 Preacher: floating price?
  256. 14:26 DMonkey: the price right now
  257. 14:27 Preacher: Thank you!!! Y'all are awesome.
  258. 14:28 DMonkey: The spot price...
  259. 14:33 Hagan: I can't scan with this study. Can somebody please add what is needed to make a study scan...thanks
  260. 14:33 Hagan: #VM_StochVol

  272. ## END STUDY ##
  273. 14:38 bigworm: are there any statistical tests for trend?
  274. 14:42 DMonkey: hagan...scans basically look for plots...your study has a plot but it is just a transformation of price.... you do not have any kind of condition criteria for it to meet....so the answer is yes it can be a scan...you need to decide what you want to scan for....
  275. 14:43 DMonkey: big... yes
  276. 14:44 bigworm: im trying to figure out thos monte carlo stuff mobius was tlaking about

  279. 14:45 ruffle: what the difference is that is
  280. 14:45 ruffle: Is one for common stock only? If so, which one?
  281. 14:48 Hagan: thanks DMonkey just something I copied in the forum I'll try another study thanks
  282. 14:57 harndog: Ruffle - TOS has a learning center and here is a link: http://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/search.html?keyword=%24DECARC
  283. 14:58 harndog: Ask whatever question you want in the search box
  284. 15:02 ruffle: thanks, but that didn't get me anywhere, I just email support
  285. 15:03 harndog: Google, or look in reference
  286. 15:04 ruffle: I started out googling, how do I look in the reference?
  287. 15:05 harndog: http://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/release/rel-07-20-2013.html
  288. 15:06 ruffle: got it thanks
  289. 15:07 ruffle: the closest I got was "thinkorswim's quotes and charts now support both composite and direct exchange quoted prices for futures calendar spreads.", but I dont' think this makes any sense since I'm not looking at calendar spreads
  290. 15:11 harndog: I am going to stop soon... at the bottom of the release page has a listing of indicators and the definitions
  291. 15:12 DMonkey: NYSE referes to the building and the primary market ...composite refers to all exchanged throughout the US with NYSE listings....
  292. 15:13 harndog: If that does not work for you, try going to the individual exchange and use there searching features
  293. 15:13 Shizznet: Gonna add that to the FAQ
  294. 15:13 Shizznet: lol
  295. 15:13 harndog: lol
  296. 15:16 MTS1: Was gone for a bit: Hawkeye; in case you check back in: my Notepad++ Custom language first draft is at pb link /VdhGVQBn. Shizznet found a version a user Brian created dated 2.21.2016, shared at http://tos.mx/83z9Zm# Still plan to reconcile both and have an updated version down the road.
  297. 15:20 harndog: GN all...
  298. 15:22 Shizznet: Laters
  299. 15:24 Moose: Hi i was directed to this room from shadow trader, I am just looking for someone to answer a couple quick questions regarding backtesting. I just got TOS yesterday, and I know exactly what I'd like to do but not how to do it. For instance, I am looking at a daily chart, connected to ondemand, I alreay selected a date in the past. When i hit the step forward button though it seems to be advancing 10 minutes at a time, is there a way to make it skip to the next day(a whole bar)??
  300. 15:26 Jake-Elwood: well, not really
  301. 15:27 Jake-Elwood: you can change the date, as you've done, but the idea of OD is to replay the price action slowly
  302. 15:31 MTS1: Sorry that was PAris btw that found Brian's version.
  303. 15:31 fredw: nube thanks
  304. 15:35 fredw: on demand. don't forget to select time of day after selecting date.
  305. 15:37 fredw: are you on a tick chart or time chart
  306. 15:37 Jake-Elwood: he's long gone fred
  307. 15:37 fredw: okay.
  308. 15:40 bigworm: would a unit root test be good to measure if something were trending? like if I found it wasnt stationary?
  309. 15:40 Nube: Fred, that script sample earlier was for a time chart
  310. 15:41 fredw: nube I saw that. thank you
  311. 15:47 fredw: this parabolic market is insane. on one red monthly candle sine Trump was elected.
  312. 16:03 ruffle: is there a way to draw a zero line on the main price chart?
  313. 16:04 Shizznet: plot Zero = 0;
  314. 16:04 Shizznet: Then press Left Axis in GUI afterwards.
  315. 16:04 Jake-Elwood: but why?
  316. 16:05 ruffle: got it
  317. 16:05 ruffle: Ok, if you know a better way to do this let me know.
  318. 16:05 Shizznet: There isn’t.
  319. 16:06 ruffle: I want to plot the 40week moving average of the $ADVN-$DECN. I don't know how to do this in the lower so I just did it in the main chart area of one of my grids
  320. 16:06 Jake-Elwood: or use a drawing tool
  321. 16:07 Jake-Elwood: when you read the manual, look up the flavors of declare that are available
  322. 16:08 ruffle: I havent't run across any script that creates MA based on anything other than what is displayed on the price chart
  323. 16:10 Jake-Elwood: that is its typical use. but if you look carefully, all it does is average a series of numbers for a set period of time
  324. 16:10 Jake-Elwood: the numbers can be anything
  325. 16:14 ruffle: I think I see what you're saying--thanks! Looking at the SMA script now
  326. 16:37 Jake-Elwood: more than one thing is parabolic
  327.  
  328. 16:41 ruffle: in hindsight--that was easy! Thanks for leading me to the water Jake-Elwood
  329. 16:55 allopt: How do I execute the hangingman() study using multiple aggregations in a single chart? ..... e.g. execuitng hangingman() for 30 MINUTES, HOUR, DAY, WEEK, etc on an intraday 180 days @ 1 Hour bars).
  330. 16:58 Shizznet: The 30min aggregation will not show up on an Hourly chart for starters.
