How To Pass Text To Labels And Bubbles In ThinkOrSwim

[LanceB]

Can someone help me correct this thinkscript code syntax? The syntax error is in red.

# Safe string conversion with NumberFormat (FIXED ERROR)
def pctStr = AsText(Round(devPct, 1), NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES);
def ptsStr = AsText(Round(distFromMid, 2), NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES);

AddChartBubble(
showLabel && firstClose > Mid,
ORHigh + (ORHigh - ORLow) * 0.06,
pctStr + "% (" + ptsStr + " pts)",
Color.CYAN,
yes
);

AddChartBubble(
showLabel && firstClose <= Mid,
ORLow - (ORHigh - ORLow) * 0.06,
pctStr + "% (" + ptsStr + " pts)",
Color.MAGENTA,
no
);

AddChartBubble(

ORLow - (ORHigh - ORLow) * 0.06,
pctStr + "% (" + ptsStr + " pts)",
Color.MAGENTA,
no
);

Change to:

def pctNum = Round(devPct, 1);
def ptsNum = Round(distFromMid, 2);

AddChartBubble(
showLabel && firstClose > Mid,
ORHigh + (ORHigh - ORLow) * 0.06,
AsText(pctNum, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES) + "% (" + AsText(ptsNum, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES)+ " pts)",
Color.CYAN,
yes
);

AddChartBubble(
showLabel && firstClose <= Mid,
ORLow - (ORHigh - ORLow) * 0.06,
AsText(pctNum, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES) + "% (" + AsText(ptsNum, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES)+ " pts)",
Color.MAGENTA,
no
);

@whoDAT You haven't previously defined pctNum or ptsNum before use unless you only posted a partial script... If it's only partial then post the entire script...

no, that isn't the complete code, so no idea what values are in those variables.
post the whole code when asking questions.

short answer,
def can only assign numbers to a variable , not text.
def pctStr = AsText(Rou....

why are you converting a number to text? you don't have to do that.

within addchartbubble() , the entire 3rd parameter should be inside ( ).


def pctStr = Round(devPct, 2);
AddChartBubble(
showLabel and firstClose > Mid,
ORHigh + (ORHigh - ORLow) * 0.06,
( pctStr + "% (" + ptsStr + " pts)" ),
Color.CYAN,
yes
);
