[kmeade]

Thanks @BenTen, if I come across anything I'll be sure to share it here.

 

[kmeade]

My scan is giving me results that the signal is a few days old, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you.

 

[BenTen]

@kmeade Did you change the "within X bar" input?

 

[kmeade]

@BenTen I didn't change any part of the code, would that be in the scan code?

 

[BenTen]

@kmeade No, can you show me the condition of your scanner?

 

[kmeade]

@BenTen I hope that's the information your were looking for, I'm still very new to this side of trading.

 

[BenTen]

@kmeade Hmm, not what I was looking for. I used the scanner mentioned in the original thread and here's my result. I'm not seeing anything wrong with it.

 

[kmeade]

@BenTen I read entered the code to try again, and still have bad results. I don't the results in your last post, what conditions are you using? I don't have live data at the moment in thinkorswim, could that affect the results?

 

[BenTen]

@kmeade I don't even do anything to it. I just copy and paste the scanner's code into ThinkorSwim. I'm not sure if not having live data will affect the scanner. It may or may not. I would create a support ticket in ThinkorSwim to ask about that and also request live data.

 

[tomsk]

@BenTen I just checked the scanner - no issues with live data

 

[kmeade]

Sigh...

@BenTen I can't figure out what I am doing wrong... I just did a daily scan on the S&P 500, HSY came back as result but the signal was on Novemeber 16. I really appreciate you taking the time to help and I don't want to bother you more with this, do you have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

 

[tomsk]

Post the exact code you're scanning it with. Check your aggregations and other inputs
This will help someone help you.
When in doubt provide as much info as you can - saying something does not work is insufficient info.

 

[BenTen]

@kmeade Here is the exact code I used to get that result. Take a look and compare it to yours.

 

[tomsk]

@BenTen Looks like you used the scan code from post #1 of this thread.
I used that scan code and obtained 25 results on a daily aggregation of the S&P 500
Scan works as advertised

 

[BenTen]

@tomsk Yup, I used it on my own watchlist that's why it only had a few result. Thanks for confirming.

@kmeade Please call THIS ThinkorSwim customer support phone number: 800-672-2098.
These folks will hook up with your computer and work with you to diagnose issues. Just write down the exact problem ahead of time.
For thinkscript questions, many are well versed. If they don't have the answer, they will ask an associate and get it for you.
At least they are in Nebraska, St Louis, and Salt lake City and have that helpful spirit. Just no superfluous questions.

Could someone add an input to add and remove the colored candles ? on this code from Mobius

 

[mc01439]

@Trading51 Already there.

input PaintBars = yes;

 

[BbenSD]

Also - in an attempt to give back. I've ported the supertrend script so that it works on mobile. It involves two scripts - one for the supertrend plot, and one for the signal. As far as I know, you cannot paint the candles like you can on your pc version of TOS. Anyway, screenshots from PC and mobile (to compare) and scripts below for your use.

Mobile Plot: https://tos.mx/q2gNki

Mobile Signal: https://tos.mx/72pAl6

Sorry - I left my bollinger bands on in that shot.

Hey there! just to verify, this doesn't repaint, right?

Thanks

 

[BenTen]

@BbenSD It shouldn't.
