How to turn off 1 to 7 and only keep 8, 9 and 13 in Sequence Counter indicator in ThinkorSwim?

[petergluis]

I would like to know how to modify following code to turn off 1 to 7, 10, 11 and only keep 8, 9 and 13 in Sequence Counter indicator in ThinkorSwim?

Here is a code from ThinkorSwim platform.

input arrayPeriod = 13;
input formationPeriod = 9;

plot "Buy Formation" = Double.NaN;
plot "Sell Formation" = Double.NaN;
plot "Buy Array" = Double.NaN;
plot "Sell Array" = Double.NaN;
plot "Perfect Buy" = Double.NaN;
plot "Perfect Sell" = Double.NaN;
plot "Perfect Array Buy" = Double.NaN;
plot "Perfect Array Sell" = Double.NaN;

the study SequenceCounter is protected. we can't see the code.
but we can experiment and try to figure out the data from the plots.

i looked up the info on the study.
https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/Tech-Indicators/studies-library/R-S/SequenceCounter

made a test study to display all 8 plotted values.
saw that t1 to t4 had number values that matched the numbers above and below the candles.

made 4 formulas to check for certain values , 8,9,13 , and plot them.

# seqcnt_00

def na = double.nan;

def t1 = SequenceCounter()."Buy Formation";
def t2 = SequenceCounter()."Sell Formation";
def t3 = SequenceCounter()."Buy Array";
def t4 = SequenceCounter()."Sell Array";
def t5 = SequenceCounter()."Perfect Buy";
def t6 = SequenceCounter()."Perfect Sell";
def t7 = SequenceCounter()."Perfect Array Buy";
def t8 = SequenceCounter()."Perfect Array Sell";

input show_test_labels = no;
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq1 " + t1, color.cyan);
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq2 " + t2, color.cyan);
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq3 " + t3, color.cyan);
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq4 " + t4, color.cyan);
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq5 " + t5, color.cyan);
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq6 " + t6, color.cyan);
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq7 " + t7, color.cyan);
addlabel(show_test_labels , "seq8 " + t8, color.cyan);

# t1 - lower white
# t2 - upper white
# t3 - lower red
# t4 - uper red

#  keep 8, 9, and 13 , ignore other numbers
plot u1 = if t1 == 8 or t1 == 9 or t1 == 13 then t1 else na;
plot u2 = if t2 == 8 or t2 == 9 or t2 == 13 then t2 else na;
plot u3 = if t3 == 8 or t3 == 9 or t3 == 13 then t3 else na;
plot u4 = if t4 == 8 or t4 == 9 or t4 == 13 then t4 else na;

u1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_below);
u1.SetDefaultColor(Color.white);
u1.hidebubble();

u2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_above);
u2.SetDefaultColor(Color.white);
u2.hidebubble();

u3.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_below);
u3.SetDefaultColor(Color.red);
u3.hidebubble();

u4.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_above);
u4.SetDefaultColor(Color.red);
u4.hidebubble();

Thank you very much for your great help. It works perfectly. Is it possible to enlarge font size a little bit?

i don't think so.
the command .setlineweight(5) doesn't have any affect when used with .VALUES_above , .VALUES_below. ( plots , u1,u2,u3,u4)

it does work on most of the paintstrategies.

a simple test code. change what is commented out to try different setpaintingstrategy(

plot z = low;
z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_above);
#z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
#z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_wedge_UP);
#z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
z.setlineweight(5);
[/code

Thank you very much for your help. I will use your suggested approach to modify your previous code.

? don't change my code, in post2.
post 4 code is a separate study, just for testing.

Ok. I will not modify your code.
