I found some code I think is for the green dots... though I'm not entirely sure. Converted it below:
Code:
# Dr Wish's Black & Green Dot Indicator For ThinkOrSwim
# @Joshua 9/2021
# with green dots by mashume

def black =
    Sum(StochasticFull(10,1) <= 25, 3) >= Yes
    and close > close[1]
    and (
        close > Average(close,30)
        or
        close > expAverage(close,21)
    )
;
plot bDot = if black then low else double.nan;
bDot.SetPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.POINTS);
bDot.setLineWeight(2);
bDot.setDefaultColor(color.black);

def green = if stochasticFull(10, 4)[1] < Average(StochasticFull(10, 4)[1], 4)
AND StochasticFull(10, 4) > Average(StochasticFull(10, 4), 4) then LOW else double.nan;

plot gDot = green;
gDot.SetPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.POINTS);
gDot.setLineWeight(2);
gDot.setDefaultColor(color.green);

Hello, I am new to thinkscript and was wondering if someone can help code the black dot indicator as given by Dr. Wish in the below post:

https://wishingwealthblog.com/2021/...talk-examples-of-black-dot-signals-gmi6-of-6/

the relevant section of logic from that post is :

Black dot signals appear on my daily charts when a stock’s daily 10.1 stochastic was <=25 in any of the past 3 days, has a current price >prior day’s price, and is currently above either its 30 day average or its exp 21 day average. This is what the formula looks like for TC2000 to put the black dot on the chart. My co-instructor has posted a tutorial video (see below) showing how to put green dot signals on a chart and it can be modified with this formula to place the black dot.

Appreciate if we can have the code for both an indicator on the chart and a scan.

Thanks!

I could use some help getting this code ported to TOS. I don't know if anyone in here follows the WISHING WEALTH BLOG, but he uses TC2000 for his charting package. Well today someone posted how to build a couple of indicators (his green dot and black dot indicators) that he uses in TC2000. Here is the link to the short video with the code

Any help moving the code to TOS would be appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Thanks for directing me to the code above. I tried to coble something together for the Green Dot, but my attempts at cutting and pasting code went nowhere.

Question: How do you attach a screenshot here? I tried including a http file from Snagit, but this program does like doing that....

Do you have this in a shared file ?
 
Does anyone have the code for the lower stochastic indicator, or the setting to make one work with the green dot?
I have tried several different stochastics and different setting on them all to no avail.
Thank you to all who have contributed
 
I put this together from a screen shot of some source code I found somewhere...

plot bDot = if black then low else double.nan;
bDot.SetPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.POINTS);
bDot.setLineWeight(2);
bDot.setDefaultColor(color.black);

def green = if stochasticFull(10, 4)[1] < Average(StochasticFull(10, 4)[1], 4)
AND StochasticFull(10, 4) > Average(StochasticFull(10, 4), 4) then LOW else double.nan;

plot gDot = green;
gDot.SetPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.POINTS);

gDot.setDefaultColor(color.greeN);

but don't ask me where I found it.

wow, thank you for such a quick replay, i think this is the same code as the first code post in this thread, this one doesnt have the lower indicator
 
I believe i have gotten pretty close with the lower indicator for the Green Dot, but i have not look into the Black Dot but here is the code for lower indicator if anyone is interested, also if anyone is able improve on this it would be greatly appreciated

Code:
declare lower;

# Base code by TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2008-2021

input over_bought = 80;
input over_sold = 50;
input KPeriod = 10.4;
input DPeriod = 4;
input priceH = high;
input priceL = low;
input priceC = close;
input slowing_period = 3;
input averageType = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input showBreakoutSignals = {default "No", "On FullK", "On FullD", "On FullK & FullD"};

def lowest_k = Lowest(priceL, KPeriod);
def c1 = priceC - lowest_k;
def c2 = Highest(priceH, KPeriod) - lowest_k;
def FastK = if c2 != 0 then c1 / c2 * 100 else 0;

plot FullK = MovingAverage(averageType, FastK, slowing_period);
plot FullD = MovingAverage(averageType, FullK, DPeriod);

plot OverBought = over_bought;
plot OverSold = over_sold;



# signal

def fullKCrossesFromoverbought= FullK[1] > 80 and FullK < 80;
def fullKCrossesBelowFullD = FullK[1] > FullD[1] and FullK < FullD;
plot signaldown = fullKCrossesFromoverbought and fullKCrossesBelowFullD;
signaldown.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_down);
signaldown.SetDefaultColor(Color.magenta);

def fullKCrossesFromoversold = FullK[1] < 20 and FullK > 20;
def fullKCrossesAboveFullD = FullK[1] < FullD[1] and FullK > FullD;
plot signalup = fullKCrossesFromoversold and fullKCrossesAboveFullD;
signalup.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
signalup.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);;
 
This looked interesting so thought I would muck about with it a little. Found a few other articles on this system and added in their suggestions. Such as the 30 week avg for buy condition. The 21 exp and 30 sma for black dot condition visuals. As well as 5 day low marker at dot signals for the support level / entry exit stop if trade fails. Chartbubbles for the dot signals only appear if signal in previous 5 days (to reduce clutter) can be turned off.

I changed the black dots to magenta to be seen easier on my dark chart background. Also changed the black (magenta) dots to triangles to be able to detect easier when they overlap green dots at the same spot.

Modified stoch lower panel includes green cloud as preferred buy zone between 50 and 25. Fast crossing (up / down) slow signal arrows.

Red and blue exponential ribbons for trend detection in separate chart window .

Ideas from
https://wishingwealthblog.com/2018/03/green-dot-strategy-defined/
as well as the Red White Blue ribbons from
https://wishingwealthblog.com/glossary/
mentioned in
https://aaiidcmetro.com/slides/(2019-07-13)wish.pdf

Basically three chunks of code.
1)Main chart with green / black dots
2)Lower panel of main chart has modified stoch
3)Side chart with ribbon code

Screen setup FlexChart at the moment consists of main window - left 2/3rds of screen with green / black dots and lower panel with modified stochastic. The right 1/3 screen side window chart has the RWB ribbon (to reduce main chart clutter).

First time sharing chart, hope it works http://tos.mx/aA8Yizg

2-6-2022 Also added in Labels for YearlyLow and percentage to current price.

Only had this running a few days so not thoroughly tested.
Thank you for that lower code modification, i love the shaded area between 25 and 50, makes a nice visual
 
This looked interesting so thought I would muck about with it a little. Found a few other articles on this system and added in their suggestions. Such as the 30 week avg for buy condition. The 21 exp and 30 sma for black dot condition visuals. As well as 5 day low marker at dot signals for the support level / entry exit stop if trade fails. Chartbubbles for the dot signals only appear if signal in previous 5 days (to reduce clutter) can be turned off.

I changed the black dots to magenta to be seen easier on my dark chart background. Also changed the black (magenta) dots to triangles to be able to detect easier when they overlap green dots at the same spot.

Modified stoch lower panel includes green cloud as preferred buy zone between 50 and 25. Fast crossing (up / down) slow signal arrows.

Red and blue exponential ribbons for trend detection in separate chart window .

Ideas from
https://wishingwealthblog.com/2018/03/green-dot-strategy-defined/
as well as the Red White Blue ribbons from
https://wishingwealthblog.com/glossary/
mentioned in
https://aaiidcmetro.com/slides/(2019-07-13)wish.pdf

Basically three chunks of code.
1)Main chart with green / black dots
2)Lower panel of main chart has modified stoch
3)Side chart with ribbon code

Screen setup FlexChart at the moment consists of main window - left 2/3rds of screen with green / black dots and lower panel with modified stochastic. The right 1/3 screen side window chart has the RWB ribbon (to reduce main chart clutter).

First time sharing chart, hope it works http://tos.mx/aA8Yizg

Only had this running a few days so not thoroughly tested.
What a great contribution. Thank you for sharing this. I had considered trying to do all of this myself after learning about the Dr. Wish system and watching him on YouTube but it would have been difficult for me and the end result likely wouldn't have been quite right.

The only other component from his system that I wanted to work on which is still missing is the green line breakout (the idea of buying at historical all time high after drawing a green line at the previous high that is broken above). Is it possible to code this line to stay intact as the previous all time high which has been broken one time? It's not clear to me how to code a condition like that while allowing the line to be persistent.
