Gap Stats Labels for ThinkorSwim

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had a script that would show the gap stats of a company. Like how many times it has gapped up above 20% the average spike % after open does it close below or above open. Thanks.

Something like this.

Hello, I tried using this code for gap stats as I was curious about finding these like Sir_Gallywax and it doesn't have any actual data filled in just the labels. It looks half complete. Is there a way to get the actual gap statistics? Thank you

Welcome @mwalstea Both of the codes above were made by expert level coders.
Did you read the notes inside the script you chose?
What stock did you try it on?
What was the time frame? Thanks
 
Thank you! Glad to be here. I tried it on SES on a one minute and it displayed the labels but no data, and on a daily as well, but nothing showed at all on the daily.

I copied and pasted the entire code into the "create" tab in thinkorswim studies area. I thought that was the correct thing to do, but you mentioned notes...are the notes all the lines starting with "#" and should I take those out? Thanks
 
Did you delete the first line before you pasted the code? If yes, then you put it in correctly.
Notes have the # symbol in front of them. Those are not to be erased.
The # sign make then un-noticeable to thinkscript.

Was it the first script or the second?
One script is for Daily and above and the other says "declare hide_on_daily;" which means that it's only visible on less than 1 day time frame.
Put an active stock in like CAT so that you eliminate small stocks which may not have enough past data or history. What do you see?
 
The second script for Gap Stats and I just deleted the first line. I put in the entire code (without the first line) on CAT and it has the labels but where the data should be it shows "NaN / NaN / NaN" "0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00"

I wish I could get a picture on here but the link refuses to work.

I wish I could get a picture on here but the link refuses to work.
Go to imgur.com, post your pic there (free), than click the pic in Imgur for a BB Link. Copy that and paste link directly in here. btw, the # is called a "comment".
Then, post the code that you have. Somethings not right and will need to be looked over. I'm at work and will be in & out for the day.
@horserider @mc01439 @skynetgen ,once it gets posted, could you review if time allows?

Hello, was anyone able to see what the error was. I tried it again multiple different ways and still no luck. Not sure what I could be doing wrong at this point. Thanks so much.
 
Hi, I have been away from the computer and will only be on mobile thru next week. Looking at that script, it seems written for /ES or other futures. Less than daily time frame.
Have you checked the Onenote in the Tutorials section?
 
@markos @mwalstea The so-called "error" as described is rather simple. The Gap Stats study from Vimes that was used is for aggregations less than daily, AND only evaluates the first opening bar. Since you report seeing a bunch of NaN / NaN, etc - that means no data is currently available. Usually for gap stats, I look at Daily aggregations, so use the first post (Author: Paris) that @BenTen posted. I just loaded a Daily aggregation chart of BIDU and it displays properly.

Additionally I looked at some guidance notes from the Author when the study was initially posted in the chatroom
It specifies:

# Vimes: Here is my attempt at a gap fill stats study. It looks only at the first bar of the chart to determine if the gap fills within the aggregation period. It shouldn't be used with extended hours on.
 
hi guys

just wondering if anyone has or can make a custom code to measure the gap% from prev close to open
coloring the label red for negative and green for positive
 
@BenTen @markos
is there anyway that we could get post-earnings performance tab? post earnings effect usually causes price to drift up on some stocks or get dragged down like others.
i really like the number of occurrences counter here btw. so im looking for something similar just with average price performance for a week or two after on average.
very impressive stuff guys
 
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had a script that would show the gap stats of a company. Like how many times it has gapped up above 20% the average spike % after open does it close below or above open.

Something like this.
