Climb the Ladder? :-)

[homeplate]

I was also trying to write a script which would show the price moving higher. I was using the wizard as a model.

Here is what I came up with so far. I have to go to bed as my Mom is getting ****ed. If you can take a look at this and give me an idea as to where I'm going wrong that would be wonderful. Thank you again J007RMC and always thank you very, very much BenTen and mobius and spider, and everyone! For helping.

PS. I was going to call it Climb The Ladder but thought I would ask for suggestions as you all are better at this then I am right now.

Thank you

theres a few errors i believe.

 

[homeplate]

theres a few errors i believe.

Can you help?

 

[germanburrito]

i dont know how to, sorry.

 

[halcyonguy]

edit your post and describe what you are trying to do. it looks like you are calculating a % , from the difference of the current bar and some bar in the past (length). then comparing that % to a constant. i'm not sure what you want to see plotted on the chart.

you are plotting a true/false formula, so the output would be lines at 0 or 1 ( if there were no errors).
scan = x >= percent;

you can't reuse the same variable name, price, x , length,... they have to be different.

 

[halcyonguy]

i fixed your code so there isn't any errors, so you can see what it is doing. i hope this helps you get it to where you want it.
you had many variables with the same name. i changed them so all the variables have a unique name.

i am not sure what you want to see on the chart. maybe if you describe what you want to see, someone can help.

i didn't see anything plot.
the formulas are trying to plot a boolean expression, 0 or 1.
scan2 = x2 >= percent2;

i took one code section and got it to plot something. is this close to what you are trying to do?
the numbers are tiny, so i changed it to be a lower study. plotting values < 1 on a price chart will look like a horizontal line near 0.
