For some reason, all the tos.mx links from ThinkorSwim are leading to a 404 webpage. More specifically, it will say the following:

Page not found!
The page you are looking for cannot be found because it was either misspelled or has been deleted. Make sure you've typed the URL correctly.

In reality, these shareable links are actually not broken. There is an alternative to loading up a shared ThinkorSwim study, chart setup, or workspace.

Step 1: Go to your ThinkorSwim platform.

Step 2: Click on Setup (top right-hand corner) > Select Open shared item...

Step 3: Paste the link you were given > click Preview

Step 4: Click Ok

After that, you will receive a popup telling you what the indicator has been saved as. You can load it up from your Studies area by typing in the given name.

Hi - I followed the same steps but my plot arrow selection isn't showing either. Here is the code I loaded into the Chart Area. And it is exactly the same code I loaded into the scanner. But when you do it in the scanner and just want to select the Study Blast Off, it does not give you the edit condition choice shown here in the link
(I can't seem to cut and paste the image)

Can Someone please help?
Sincerely,

# Blast Off Indicator
# Should use on the Daily chart
# Assembled by BenTen at useThinkScript.com
# Converted from https://www.tradingview.com/script/V9Mi6eOO-CM-Blast-Off-V1-Alerts-Ready/

input trig = 20;
input paintbar = yes;

def val = absValue(close - open);
def range = high - low;
def blastOffVal = (val / range) * 100;
def trigger = trig;
def alert1 = blastOffVal < trig;
def col = blastOffVal < trig;
assignPriceColor(if blastOffVal<trig then Color.MAGENTA else Color.Current);

#Plot Arrow
plot arrow = col;
arrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
arrow.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
arrow.SetLineWeight(3);

Thanks for the procedure, but I do this and while everything seems to work fine, even to the point of showing a confirmation dialogue that reads "*** was successfully imported", but the study will not show in the lists, even if the name is changed or the "open after importing" box is selected. Neither will it show in the "Received Items" list under the "Shared Items" tab. Very frustrating.

Unfortunately, you didn't provide enough information to say where you went astray.

Let's run a test

Step 1: Go to your ThinkorSwim platform.

Step 2: Click on Setup (top right-hand corner) > Select Open shared item...

Step 3: Copy & Paste this study link:
http://tos.mx/3xB2AdD

Step 4:
Give it a name that will put it at the top of your study list
Name it A0000000000_ATest
It should look like this:

Now go to your study list in chart settings
It should be the 1st item:

Neither will it show in the "Received Items" list under the "Shared Items" tab. Very frustrating.
FYI, the "Received Items" list has some known issues. Do not use it.


Posting that "it doesn't work" does not provide enough information.
If you are still having issues. You must provide your images of the above two important steps, so we can see where you went astray.
