10:35 optntradrsuntd: It signals green/red based on the breakout/breakdown which is good, but it's just fine tuning the areas where you shouldn't be in the trade
10:42 Nube: Rewrite the assignpricecolor statement to have the 3 conditions you want. It won't change to users preference.
10:43 Nube: As is there is no condition that would make it apply the "neutral" color
10:44 Nube: harumph, wrong I am. Should have looked closer.
10:45 Nube: You will still need to rewrite the the statement to make it do what you want instead of what it's scripted to do currently.
10:46 optntradrsuntd: Oh man
10:46 Nube: Not nearly as tough as it may seem.
10:48 optntradrsuntd: It's all the same, except it's giving signals off the EMA's disregarding price action
10:48 optntradrsuntd: And that's out of my realm, I just spotted the weakness in it, I don't know how to change it
10:51 Nube: start with definitely the price action
10:53 Paris: optntradrsuntd - Here is a real simple snippet to do what you wish. It colors candles YELLOW if between MA8-13, WHITE if between MA13-21, and PINK otherwise). Note this is a standalone study, so you'll need to do some work to fit this back into Slim's study

plot MA8  = ExpAverage(close, 8);
plot MA13 = ExpAverage(close, 13);
plot MA21 = ExpAverage(close, 21);

AssignPriceColor(if between(close, MA8, MA13) then Color.YELLOW
                 else if between(close, MA13, MA21) then Color.WHITE
                 else Color.PINK);
10:54 optntradrsuntd: Awesome, thank you very much
10:56 optntradrsuntd: Curious about the pink
11:00 AlphaInvestor: I am curious about a lot of things but not color names
11:03 optntradrsuntd: I'm a newbie, I'm curious about all of it lol
11:04 optntradrsuntd: Like I know what I'mn looking for in the code, but I don't know how to modify it enough or start with what I'm trying to do. Slims study has a simliar concept, it just relies on the EMA's positioning over each other
11:13 linas: random message from me here....
11:14 MTS1: Optn; to understand the code make sure to use the reference as you're reviewing or writing code. Also read the thinkscript tutorials as a great place to get started. Both are at http://tlc.thinkorswim.com/. Reviewing existing scripts, built-in or custom, like you're doing now is a great way to learn also, but helps to have read the tutorials and they are not long.
11:14 linas: you can do a lot more logistically, and set auto trades rather easy
11:14 Vimes: linas, bad form to discuss other platforms
11:15 linas: sorry
11:15 linas: i do LOVE Tda
11:15 linas: to be fair
11:15 linas: i just see this "I'm looking to do this, how I do it" questions a lot
11:15 harndog: To be fair, your posting in TDA forum, run by TDA, and your acknowledge TDA rules.
11:16 linas: and Mobius and the rest of the crew are awesome to help
11:16 linas: just saying.. wish it used C# or C++, to go to next level
11:16 linas: but fair enough, it has amazing library of built in code, and noone can match that
11:17 linas: have a good day everyone !
11:17 MTS1: Hope they have a useful lounge also;)
11:17 harndog: +1
11:32 optntradrsuntd: Paris - I have the script in, everything is good up until the 8 EMA.

So if price is above the 8 EMA = green
if price is below 8 EMA = red

But to still hold the corresponding colors when price action is between certain EMA's
11:53 MTS1: believe that is color.current
11:56 Blue_Oyster_Cult-: optntradrsuntd: #start

#hint: b>Ask SLM Ribbon
thank you for the post ...........
12:01 Nube: re languages other than ThinkScript, I'm extremely thankful this is in ThinkScript. I'd have never learned nor been involved here at all for that matter if it was a different language
12:04 optntradrsuntd: No problem Blue, trying to get some fine tuning done to it
12:08 RKX1: Grid_20180828_2
12:11 RKX1: http://tos.mx/rcbmch
12:12 optntradrsuntd: ?
12:20 optntradrsuntd: So thinkscript is it's own language in a sense? Or is it variations of all the coding languages?
12:20 optntradrsuntd: Or varations of some*
12:21 AlphaInvestor: thinkScript is it own language
12:21 MTS1: variation of JavaScript
12:22 MTS1: Or Java (not a programmer) TOS is written in Java and TS was a derivative written by it's programmers.
12:22 MTS1: or using the same structure anyways. .
12:30 Geeha: I would like to install two filters into my chart. The first is to scan the S&P500 for all stocks after market close that have two bars above a ten period moving average High and those two bars highlighted in light green. The second is to scan the S&P500 for all stocks after market close that have two bars below an eight period moving average Low and those two bars highlighted in light red. If you can take me through the steps to do this I would greatly appreciate it! Thank You
12:36 AlphaInvestor: you are asking for 2 things - a Scan    and a companion Chart
12:38 Vimes: the scan part is going to return too many hits to be useful imo
12:38 AlphaInvestor: Vimes - agreed
12:41 Vimes: Geeha, you can try something like this to get you started - but you will need to add some additional criteria:  put this in a custom scan of the S&P500 watchlist
def cond1 = close>simpleMovingAvg(high,8)[1];
plot scan = sum(cond1,2)==2;


12:52 AlphaInvestor: Amalia - CAHOLD column

#14:10 Mobius: The Mr. Script Replacement or Mr. Script Redux didn't explain that the reason MACD is used in his study to identify flags is that MACD shows divergence, squeeze, price compression fairly well. If price is rising and MACD is not that is the reason.

input PriceOfStock = 10;#Default 10
input BullFlagWithinHowManyDays = 1; #Default 1
input SensitivityMALength = 30; #Default 30

#def Momentum = macdHistogram(8,17,9) > macdHistogram(8,17,9)[1];

#def trigger = trend and momentum and MacdLow;
def trigger = trend and MacdLow;
AddLabel(yes, if trigger within BullFlagWithinHowManyDays bar then "Bull Flag" else " ",Color.PLUM);

12:56 optntradrsuntd: Is that the whole code Mobius? I use MACD a lot, would like to test it out
12:56 amalia: Thanks, Ai.
12:57 fifotrader: Mobius Can you help me with how to determine the following:
Let’s say there are condition that causes a stock go up by 60 percent and another condition to make it go up 30 per cent.
What is the per cent if both happen? Should it be more than 60 per cent?  Or is it impossible since all possible conditions are not known?
12:57 amalia: eh
12:58 Farmin: go look up a compound interest equation
12:59 AlphaInvestor: yeah, it depends on whether they are subsequent moves, and which came first
13:01 Vimes: 1.6*1.3?
13:01 fifotrader: Let.s say they both happen at the same time.
13:02 Farmin: 1.6 * 1.3  = 1.3 * 1.6  assuming they are subsequent moves
13:03 Farmin: fifo, make it real  start with a dollar.  figure out what your question reeally is
13:04 AlphaInvestor: farmin - dats that new math isn't it
13:04 Farmin: yup it is
13:05 Vimes: well its one of the basic properties of multiplication so not relaly new math
13:05 Farmin: sure wish someone could splain it to me.  and then probablilty density functions
13:06 Farmin: well, new math is kinda old now
13:06 AlphaInvestor: Vimss -1 ... your makin' me look bad
13:06 Vimes: lol
13:06 Vimes: sorry - ;)
13:12 mthfr_vaxxed: per cent or percent? this a trick question?
13:14 Vimes: not sure;  i also wasn't sure if there was more to the question - if you are saying the outcome is random you would need to provide a probability of the events occurring
13:15 amalia: lol mth
13:19 Anonymous so far: What u think about AMD
13:20 AlphaInvestor: Wrong chat room
13:25 fifotrader: I have been trying to figure this out for some time.
To determine a probability occurrence you record all occurrences of a condition and divide it by all possible occurrences.
So I guess this can’t be solved?`
13:26 optntradrsuntd: a bell curve
13:27 AlphaInvestor: fifo - what you describe can be solved
13:27 fifotrader: how
13:27 AlphaInvestor: count all the times it occurred on the chart, divide by the number of bars on the chart - easy peasy
13:28 optntradrsuntd: That's the best way tbh, don't need a code for that
13:31 fifotrader: Alpha- you are right- but I do not have that data I just have the percent's
13:32 optntradrsuntd: If you have the percentages already what are you looking for?
13:33 fifotrader: What happen when they both occur
13:33 AlphaInvestor: Fifo - you can calculate that data from the chart
13:34 Vimes: fifo can you describe exactly what you are struggling to do - seems very vague atm
13:35 AlphaInvestor: are you looking for the number of times that a 60% move on day 1 ... is followed by a 30% move on day 2?
13:35 AlphaInvestor: or are you looking for the number of times that there is a total move of 90% over a 2 day period?
13:35 AlphaInvestor: we have no idea what your question is
13:35 Vimes: ^
13:38 fifotrader: I have info that a pattern
13:38 fifotrader: sorry not do i
13:41 optntradrsuntd: Take a minute, recollect and explain what you are trying to do
13:50 fifotrader: I have data that a stock goes up let’s say 60% with a candle pattern.
I also know that the stock go up let’s 40% during the first week September.
What is the probability of the stock going up?
13:51 optntradrsuntd: There are countless variables to why the stock would be going up
13:51 Nube: Does that percent with a pattern include that period of September?
13:51 optntradrsuntd: earnings/good news etc
13:52 fifotrader: give up
13:52 optntradrsuntd: Bullflag patterns have hige probabilities of breaking out etc
13:52 optntradrsuntd: high*
13:52 AlphaInvestor: Fifo - 50%
13:52 Vimes: fifo - what you are asking is possible but you have to define the problem for us to help you
13:53 Vimes: otherwise 50% is the best estimate which would put you around 45% return
13:53 cattle_trader: how would i code to have a moving average + so many tiks = sell and vise versa?
13:53 fifotrader: Alpha that is what I keep coming up with but I am not sure?
13:54 AlphaInvestor: without more information you have a 50% chance of going up, a 50% chance of going down - prices are RANDOM
13:54 optntradrsuntd: ^
13:54 Vimes: if both are independent - define the candle pattern and observe the number of roc occurencesn in your defined timeframe.  this is probablity 1
13:54 Farmin: past performance is not indicative of future results
13:55 optntradrsuntd: performance, not of patterns
13:55 AlphaInvestor: The chances of a 60% move up, followed by a 30% move up the next day are so infintessimally small that I would ignore that chance
13:56 Vimes: if you are looking for back data on candlestick patterns check bulkowski site
13:56 optntradrsuntd: H&S formations are high probability trades too
13:56 optntradrsuntd: like 55-60% I believe, may be slightly higher
13:58 AlphaInvestor: Bull market resutls for H&S tops
"Percentage meeting price target: 55%"
13:59 Vimes: and if anything was so obvious as buying in september would give you a 40% return everyone would be filfthy rich
13:59 RayK: Today is Mr Script day. Every Tuesday at 5:30 EDT, Ken Rose does the Mr Script Thinkscript tutorial Webcast. This week, Ken will finish a multisession discussion and demonstration of TOS Strategies. TOS Strategies are a simple but effective backtesting system. These tutorials and demonstrations are not to be missed! The Mr Script Webcast is at 5:30 EDT Tuesdays and can be found either in the Thinkscript Lounge (click Watch) - close the room and reopen it no more than 10 minutes before 5:30 EDT. Or, on the Web at https://events.thinkorswim.com/#/webcast - Login no more than 10 minutes in advance of the session.
14:00 mthfr_vaxxed: thanks RayK
14:02 cattle_trader: nobody?
14:02 fifotrader: Vimes not 40% return 40% probability
14:03 fifotrader: big difference
14:03 Vimes: 0.5*0.6+0.5*0.3=0.45
14:03 Vimes: you have to define the probability - withou more information they are 50%
14:03 optntradrsuntd: There is a higher probability that if a stock makes an extreme move that the following day it will revert back to the mean
14:04 fifotrader: you would have 60% chance of losing
14:04 AlphaInvestor: This converstaion is going in circles - it needs to stop, I am getting dizzy
14:04 optntradrsuntd: See why not really following why you want to figure this out, it's very small chance that you'd be right
14:06 Vimes: agree with alpha you orig said a 60% return and 30% return for two separate occurences without mention of probability - unless you are going to define the probelm further as a thinkscript questino suggest we drop it
14:06 mthfr_vaxxed: "Fooled by Randomness" is a good read
14:07 mthfr_vaxxed: kinda.... could have rambled less. but still good info.
14:09 AlphaInvestor: I haven't read that one, but this one is an excellent book
"A Random Walk Down Wall Street"
14:09 Vimes: i don't agree with pure random price - if that was the case and there wasn't a p[ositive expectancy we wouldn't have a market
14:09 FrankB3:   I have that book
14:10 mthfr_vaxxed: false positives probablity question : if test for disease is 90% accurate and disease effects 1 in 10,000 people... if you test positive what is the chance you have disease?   hint: its not 90%
14:10 mthfr_vaxxed: i have that one Alpha. next on my reading list. need to get that started after i finishing sending resumes everywhere and doing stupid coding challenges.... ugh
14:12 Nube: .9/10,000 seems like a small number
14:12 mthfr_vaxxed: and no one agrees with a completely random price... the point is if you can account for that you can acocunt for anythihng
14:12 mthfr_vaxxed: ie. Monte Carlo simulation
14:13 mthfr_vaxxed: just like no one should agree with a completely rational market either... (**cough** Long Term Capital Management **cough** )
14:14 mthfr_vaxxed: "When Genius Failed" for that blunder
14:15 mthfr_vaxxed: because..... people are not rational or random. a drunk sailor is headed somewhere.. we can all guess
14:16 mthfr_vaxxed: class dismissed.

14:21 AJayKC: input SYMB = " SPY ";
def AD = close(symbol = SYMB);
AddLabel(1, " SPY " + SYMB + " = " +  AD, if close < Average(close,1) then color.green else color.red);
14:21 AJayKC: what am i missing?
14:23 AJayKC: any help or suggestion is much appreciated. thanks.

16:50 pom909090: Hi guys, I have a very interesting question would like to seek your help...
16:50 pom909090: I have used the default custom study script provided by TOS in Stock Hacker, namely "AfterHours_Percent_Change". I copied the script and paste it as custom Study under a chart.

I found out that, the result of the Chart is DIFFERENT to the result from either the Scan or as a Watchlist column.

For example - ticker FB:

[Watchlist column]
The calculated "closing price" from the script is 176.27, which is correct as the Prior day closing price for FB.

[Chart]
I copied the entire script into custom Chart, and created a Label output for "closing price". The result of "closing price" in the label is 172.9, which is the closing price around 4 trading days ago.

Please assist...
16:56 AlphaInvestor: Thanks Ken!! - glad you are doing a deep dive on FOLD
16:59 Nube: Sure! It's a Fold session that would be the one I'd miss
17:00 pom909090: Sorry, please ignore my request. I found out that i iniitally used 5min chart, which will create this issue. If I changed to 1min chart, its fixed. Cheers guys!
