ChatGPT, BARD, Other AI Scripts Which Can't Be Used In ThinkOrSwim

[MerryDay]

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.

reply to 421

next time describe what you want to see.
you told us nothing, just 'this' doesn't work


liquidityProxy doesn't exist. change it to liquidity
def rotationScore = if liquidityProxy > 0 and (v / liquidityProxy) >= 1 then 1 else 0;


fix def squeezeScore = formula
it had pinescript code


fix formula , def liquidity = . 1_000_000 isn't a number


i always start with making a chart study. then when it works, i change it into a column study.
experiment with this.
i made this into a lower study.
disable the AssignBackgroundColor( ) and add a label to show what the squeezeScore number is

I've used several AI to assist with a code for a label but it keeps giving me the incorrect value. I'm trying to write a code for a label that displays the value for 5000 divided by the high of the second bar of the day plus one. It must be the second bar of the current day and it should work on all intraday time frames including custom time frames. I keep getting a code similar to the one below but none of them have worked. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

def newDay = GetDay() <> GetDay()[1];
def barNumber = if newDay then 1 else barNumber[1] + 1;

def secondBarHigh = if barNumber == 2 then high else secondBarHigh[1];

def isToday = GetDay() == GetLastDay();

def ratio = if isToday and !IsNaN(secondBarHigh) then 5000 / (secondBarHigh + 1) else Double.NaN;

AddLabel(isToday and !IsNaN(secondBarHigh), "5000/(2nd Bar High+1): " + Round(ratio, 2), Color.GREEN);

this calcs a number , so.... it works

saying something 'doesn't work' , is useless.
tell us what you expected and what you saw.
tell us a real world example,
.. the high of a 2nd bar
.. what stock
.. time frame


why +1? is it adding 1 at the correct place in the formula?


it is a bad idea to use variable names the same as function names. sometimes strange things happen.
barnumber is used
#https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Others/BarNumber


my version to help you debug it. , as a lower, with,
.. the count variable changed,
.. a bubble added to show values,
.. a line plotted of the 2nd bar high.

declare lower;

# label, 
# (5000 / high of the second bar of the day + 1)


def newDay = GetDay() <> GetDay()[1];
def barcnt = if newDay then 1 else barcnt[1] + 1;

def secondBarHigh = if barcnt == 2 then high else secondBarHigh[1];

def isToday = GetDay() == GetLastDay();

def ratio = if isToday and !IsNaN(secondBarHigh) then 5000 / (secondBarHigh + 1) else Double.NaN;
#def ratio = if isToday then (5000 / (secondBarHigh + 1)) else Double.NaN;

AddLabel(isToday and !IsNaN(secondBarHigh), "5000/(2nd Bar High+1): " + Round(ratio, 2), Color.GREEN);


plot z = secondBarHigh;

addchartbubble(1, low,
barcnt + "\n" +
high + "\n" +
secondBarHigh

Good evening @SleepyZ, I am trying to replicate the indicator in the first photo, from what I could find out the logic of the indicator is that it uses the wick theory, as a starting point I used the MTF candle script from the community that was shared in this post https://usethinkscript.com/threads/multi-timeframe-candles-overlay-for-thinkorswim.1425/post-153504. Then with the help of chatGPT I tried to replicate the buy and sell labels, I copied the photos they shared and, put comments on them to be able to help create the script, but I have reached a point where I can not advance further with chatGPT, since I am not a programmer I hope that with your help I can replicate the indicator. As you can see, the original indicator showed the buy label when a candle opens on or above the cyan line, then it doesn't show again, as this could mean that the price is trending. From what I've seen in the photos, it only shows the sell label until a candle closes below the cyan line (the cyan line is the opening price of the MTF candle, in this case a 30-minute candle on a 5-minute candle chart. The red line is the closing price, and the white line is 50% of the body of the previous MTF candle). I'll copy the script that I was trying to create with ChatGPT. Thank you very much in advance for your help. I would paste some other pictures showing the buy and sell labels of the indicator, maybe that could help.
