90% of the members attempting chatGPT scripting; do not provide good detailed specifications.

Members know what end result that they want but lack the ability to tell chatGPT, the step-by-step logic required to code a script to achieve that end result.
This results in chatGPT creating non-working garbage code.

Here is a video on how to successfully have chatGPT create functional scripts.

The above video, explains the basics of providing good specifications to AI which results in better scripts.

Hello all,

I want to create an indicator that

1-Plots EMA13 (yellow, EMA 48 (purple), and EMA 200 (Red).
2-Displays Previous Day High, low, open and close level
3-Plots pre-market high and low
4-Adds label indicating whether price is above or below these key level
5-Suggest trade bias (call/puts) based on EMA positioning.

What I'm missing it is not plotting on TOS. THX
Code: 
declare upper;
declare once_per_bar;

# Define EMA values
input EMA1 = 13;
input EMA2 = 48;
input EMA3 = 200;

def EMA_13 = ExpAverage(close, EMA1);
def EMA_48 = ExpAverage(close, EMA2);
def EMA_200 = ExpAverage(close, EMA3);

# Previous Day Levels
def prevHigh = high(period = "DAY" )[1];
def prevLow = low(period = "DAY" )[1];
def prevClose = close(period = "DAY" )[1];
def prevOpen = open(period = "DAY" )[1];

# Pre-Market High and Low (assumes extended hours enabled)
def preMarketHigh = high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY, priceType = PriceType.LAST, extended = yes);
def preMarketLow = low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY, priceType = PriceType.LAST, extended = yes);

# Define Colors
AssignPriceColor(if close > EMA_13 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

# Plot EMAs

pEMA_48.SetLineWeight(2);

plot pEMA_200 = EMA_200;
pEMA_200.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
pEMA_200.SetLineWeight(2);

# Plot previous day levels

pmHigh.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);

plot pmLow = preMarketLow;

def abovePDL = close > prevLow;

def abovePML = close > preMarketLow;

# Labels for Trade Direction
AddLabel(yes, "EMA 13: " + EMA_13, if aboveEMA_13 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
AddLabel(yes, "EMA 48: " + EMA_48, if aboveEMA_48 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

AddLabel(yes, "Prev High: " + prevHigh, if abovePDH then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
AddLabel(yes, "Prev Low: " + prevLow, if abovePDL then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

AddLabel(yes, "Pre-Mkt Low: " + preMarketLow, if abovePML then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

# Trade Bias

reply to #399

learn to look up functions in the online manual
you are trying to use function parameters that dont exist


there is no parameter extended for price function
def preMarketHigh = high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY, priceType = PriceType.LAST, extended = yes);
https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Fundamentals/close


if you want premarket data, you have to use these to define a period of time
https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Date---Time/SecondsTillTime
https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Date---Time/SecondsFromTime
like 4am to 9:30
https://www.tradinghours.com/markets/nasdaq


no purple color, use magenta
https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Constants/Color

add new code to find premarket hi and lo

@halcyonguy I have this peak and valley script that I've been working on but its showing the line peak line and arrow before it confirms. i want to show the line and arrow only when price gives a confirmation of the peaks or valleys. For example when price makes a high and the next candle moves 1 penny below the low of that high that confirms a peak to me, then the arrow and line would then be placed at the highest point. if price never trades 1 penny below no arrow or line should appear until it breaks. same thing for valley price have to trade 1 penny above the wick high of the candle with the lowest point and then the arrow and line would be placed at the low of the lowest point. as soon as price breaks only then an arrow will appear confirming the valley.

i changed the peak / valley code
