Combining into an All-in-One Candlesticks Script?

New member
Hi All, I've been working on customizing some of the included TOS candlestick patterns (option to add alerts and modifying the identifiers) and would like to try to get them all into one study instead of individual ones. I'm still a bit new to coding in TOS, and have been able to make the desired customizations in 25 individual studies. Currently stuck at how to map the duplicate inputs, candle conditions, and assert factors properly once they are all put into 1 study. Below are the 25 individual studies listed as one. Wondering if any could take the lead/guide the way as to how to best mash this all together for an All-in-One study? Thanks in advance for any help! - Stoneybucks

For reference, here are the 25 patterns listed:
  1. Hammer
  2. Shooting Star
  3. Doji
  4. Long-Legged Doji
  5. Bullish Engulfing
  6. Bearish Engulfing
  7. Bullish Piercing
  8. Dark Cloud Cover
  9. Two Crows
  10. In Neck
  11. On Neck
  12. One White Soldier
  13. One Black Crow
  14. Morning Star
  15. Evening Star
  16. Morning Doji Star
  17. Evening Doji Star
  18. Three White Soldiers
  19. Three Black Crows
  20. Three Inside Up
  21. Three Inside Down
  22. Three Outside Up
  23. Three Outside Down
  24. Identical Three Crows
  25. Stick Sandwich

Take note I'm a learner too - my coding kung fu is not there yet. However, I'm pretty sure you cannot reuse the same inputs/def (variables) name for each indicator. If all the indicators use "input length = 20" then you can make it global (put at beginning) and remove it from the indicator. However, if was different, then you'd have to define it again with a different name, ie "input length_doji = 10". Then all the calc statements would have to be updated to "length_doji" Take sections Hammer and Doji for example - the editor didn't complain when I made these changes for these two indicators:

So either go through the whole script by hand and make unique changes as needed, or use a text editor with some RexEX /ReplaceALL wizardry.

Edit - Why not just have the each 25 indicator in the study? Save it as a style if you need it on multiple charts.

If all the indicators use "input length = 20" then you can make it global (put at beginning) and remove it from the indicator. However, if was different, then you'd have to define it again with a different name, ie "input length_doji = 10". Then all the calc statements would have to be updated to "length_doji" Take sections Hammer and Doji for example - the editor didn't complain when I made these changes for these two indicators:

Code: 
###################################################

############ One Candlestick ##################

###################################################

input length = 20;
input trendSetup = 3;
input bodyFactor = 0.3;
input shadowFactor = 2.0;
input TurnAlertOff = yes;

##Hammer - Bullish Reversal, Red Circle Under ##
assert(bodyFactor >= 0, "'body factor' must not be negative: " + bodyFactor);
assert(shadowFactor >= 0, "'shadow factor' must not be negative: " + shadowFactor);
def BodyHeight = BodyHeight();
def AverageBodyHeight = Average(BodyHeight, length);
def ErrMargin = 0.05 * AverageBodyHeight;
def IsShort = BodyHeight < bodyFactor * AverageBodyHeight;
def Bullish = IsDescending(close, 3) and
    IsShort and
    high - Max(open, close) <= ErrMargin and
    Min(open, close) - low > 2.0 * BodyHeight;
plot BullishPlot = if Bullish then (low) else Double.NAN;
BullishPlot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE_VS_POINTS);
BullishPlot.SetDefaultColor(color.light_red);
BullishPlot.SetLineWeight(1);
BullishPlot.hidebubble();
BullishPlot.hidetitle();
Alert(Bullish && !TurnAlertOff, “HAMMER", Alert.BAR, Sound.Bell);

##Shooting Star - Bearish Reversal, Red Circle Above ##
assert(bodyFactor >= 0, "'body factor' must not be negative: " + bodyFactor);
assert(shadowFactor >= 0, "'shadow factor' must not be negative: " + shadowFactor);
def Bearish = IsAscending(close, trendSetup)[1] and
    open[1] < close[1] and
    low > high[1] and
    IsShort and
    Min(open, close) - low <= ErrMargin and
    high - Max(open, close) > shadowFactor * BodyHeight;
plot BearishPlot = if Bearish then (high + 0.3) else Double.Nan;
BearishPlot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE_VS_POINTS);
BearishPlot.SetDefaultColor(color.light_red);
BearishPlot.SetLineWeight(2);
BearishPlot.hidebubble();
BearishPlot.hidetitle();
Alert(Bearish && !TurnAlertOff, “SHOOTING STAR", Alert.BAR, Sound.Bell);

## Doji - Indecision/Trend Exhaustion, Purple Circle at Close ##
input bodyFactor_doji = 0.05;
assert(bodyFactor_doji >= 0, "'body factor' must not be negative: " + bodyFactor_doji);
plot Doji = IsDoji(length, bodyFactor_doji);
Doji.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Doji.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(153, 153, 255));
Doji.SetLineWeight(3);
Doji.hidebubble();
Doji.hidetitle();
Alert(Doji && !TurnAlertOff, "DOJI", Alert.Bar, Sound.Bell);

## End Code

So either go through the whole script by hand and make unique changes as needed, or use a text editor with some RexEX /ReplaceALL wizardry.

Edit - Why not just have the each 25 indicator in the study? Save it as a style if you need it on multiple charts.

Thank you @Iceman1205us! I’ll give it a spin with the unique changes as noted in your above adjustments. Got each of the 25 saved as a set in the meantime for multiple charts.
