Days Till X Dividend For ThinkOrSwim

[Fitzman]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a watchlist column displaying the ex div date - either date displayed and/or the number of days until ex div date?

I know the actual dividend date is displayed as an event in the chart, and the ex div date can be selected as a visible point in the TOS app, but I cannot seem to find it as a watchlist item.

Thank you,
Fitz

You can try this:

# WatchList of Label Days Till X Dividend
# If over 30 days away shows 30
# Mobius
input DaysTillXdiv = 30;

def LastDividendBar = AbsValue(GetEventOffset(Events.DIVIDEND, 0));
def NextDividend = if isNaN(LastDividendBar) then 0 else LastDividendBar;
AddLabel(NextDividend == DaysTillXdiv, "Dividend More than 30 days out", color.white);
AddLabel(NextDividend <= DaysTillXdiv-1 and NextDividend > 0, "Dividend in " + NextDividend + " days", Color.Red);
