The Use of AI with ThinkOrSwim Scripts

[Jesusr123]

Is there any IA can check my scripts?

AI can produce ThinkScript code that compiles cleanly, but research shows an estimated 40% logic‑error rate in trading‑related outputs. AI is a tool, not a trader.

Tools can make a great surgeon or fighter pilot even better —
but tools cannot be the surgeon or the pilot.
The same applies here.

AI will confidently tell you a script/strategy is perfect if your prompt leans positive —
and just as confidently tell you it is terrible if your prompt leans negative.
This is a reflection of prompt‑steering, not script quality.

Use AI as an assistant, not an authority.

Deep Seek and Chat GPT can and have for me.

Both Grok and Gemini will be able to assist you in writing Thinkscript.

What script are you having trouble with? Can you post?

ChatGPT had a dedicated ThinkOrSwim "gadget(?)" in the left sidebar. I canceled my ChatGPT subscription, and I don't see it now.

You can ask pretty much any LLM to look over your ThinkScript and help find possible issues.

You can also ask it to make a Google Colab/Python script to test the same strategy rules on historical data, so you can run a small backtest or case study.

To be successful on AI TOS scripts you have to be very specific and stay in the same chat as long as you are discussing the specific script. Here is a template on what ChatGPT requires to be "accurate". If not then use LuxAlgo, but you will still go through several reiterations. (suggestion: STAY SIMPLE)

I was coding custom scripts from peoples descriptions as a side gig since covid. Unfortunately for me, AI has completely killed that income because most people just outright accept the output from the models, BUT 40% error rate is generous compared to what I've actually seen the bots produce. You run into a major or issue of either 1. the coding being a mix of trading platform languages and python if its not an easy to reference coding source ie "build me the RSI but with a thick pink line" 2. when the indicator is adjusted to fit with the platform programming, the underlying logic ends up getting lost. AI tries to force a fit to the language as opposed to figuring out how to use the language to fit the underlying goal of why the indicator was created. So basically it comes down to this: if you don't know how to check whether what you got is accomplishing the goal then you might as well just download any old crap. TLDR: getting indicators from AI is like shopping in an outdoor street market for some rare, high end item and automatically taking the word of every single street vendor you encounter that what youre getting is 'top quality, best out there'

It is my experience that one has to keep working with A.I. until it's right and works. Sometimes you have to test it for a few days on TOS to see if correct and keep working with A.I. until it is?

oh believe me, I've tested the hell out of the limits, but like I said if you have no idea of knowing you're looking at the right thing then there really isnt any new benefit to using the new tool vs old standbys
