Best % Gap Long/Short Plays (Works Pre-Market) for ThinkorSwim

[Slydog482]

Thank you @rlohmeyer. So I have been trying to get this watchlist column loaded and I constantly get "NaN" in that column. I tried copying and pasting the original code from townsend and then I just tried copying and pasting the last one you put on there. Is there any way you can help me on getting that column loaded on there? I would greatly appreciate it.

If you have too many watchlist columns that calculate somewhat complex scripts, you can get NAN's. Also, when the market is moving, the column needs to recalc and you will get NAN's. Is this on all your stocks in the watchlist, or just a certain number?

It was doing them to all of the stocks but luckily, and don't ask me what I did, it started to finally work. Pretty cool to watch that in premarket.

I am having a issue with ASK + BID... I have been trying to find a pre-market gap column... Can someone please help?Thank you

plot pop = Round("number" = ((ask + bid) / 2 -close[1]) / close[1] * 100, "numberOfDigits" = 1);
pop.assignvalueColor(if pop >0 then color.green else color.red);

@allnetbrett

input pricea = priceType.ASK;
input priceb = priceType.BID;
def Ask = close(Pricea);
def Bid = close(Priceb);
plot pop = Round("number" = ((Ask + Bid) / 2 -close[1]) / close[1] * 100, "numberOfDigits" = 1);
pop.assignvalueColor(if pop >0 then color.green else color.red);

Is it possible to setup the TOS scanner to look for stocks that are the top 1% or 2% of gainers for the last 30 days (or 60 or 90 days). I looked myself through the software but couldn't figure it out. I also did a quick search on this website and didn't see a similar question being asked before.

It worked fine, click the crank, go in grab a custom19 open it up, and click "thinkScriptEditor" remove simple moving average and paste the code in there I named mine Pre-market.

Is there a strategy to identify the gappers before the market starts?

I'm getting the following errors after pasting the code....any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I am getting the exact same error even with the space between both lines. Any ideas?
No such variable: ask at 1:31
No such variable: bid at 1:37
No such variable: ask at 1:31
No such variable: bid at 1:37

You did not provide enough information to say where you went astray.

In order, to get the errors that you are listing, you would need to be attempting to stuff this
Watchlist Column Script into some place other than a watchlist column.

The syntax in the code of this thread ONLY works in Watchlist Columns.

Thanks MerryDay. I think that is the issue. I will give it a try.
