Indicators Not Working in ThinkorSwim Mobile App

[redart1021]

I would like to scan for inside 60min bars, which is a bar that is completely within the previous bar's range. However, my strategy involves hiding extended hours trading and also ensuring that start aggregations at market open is enabled.

That last one is causing me a problem Setting up the scan, setting the aggregation period, and then unchecking the EXT option for extended hours works well, but the aggregation does not match up correctly. Basically my 60min bars begin at 9:30 and close hourly after that.

Here's my script example:

high[1] <= high[2] and low[1] >= low[2]

Is there a way that I can use that custom script in the scanner to find tickers that satisfy my search while start aggregations at market open is enabled?

Hi Gavin, ToS tech support said it's not possible to have custom scans that begin at the half hour (ie. 930, 1030, 1130,.. ,330). It is frustrating because all hourly scans (including 2HR, 3HR,.. etc) contain 9-930 premarket data contained within their candles. This is not an accurate representation of the open market regular trading hours data. I've contacted tech support and put in a requested feature and I suggest you do as well.

A number of features and functions on the desktop are not supported on mobile. You've found a few.

Is it possible to code renko per tick blocks for mobile ToS?

TOS Mobile App
The TOS built-in mobile indicators work on the TOS mobile app.
ToS Mobile does not support custom indicators that utilize vertical lines, labels, bubbles, clouds, color changes for slopes and lines, renko, or multiple timeframes.

Here are some workarounds --> https://usethinkscript.com/threads/indicators-not-working-in-thinkorswim-mobile-app.232/
Here are some ToS Mobile Friendly Indicators --> https://usethinkscript.com/threads/tos-mobile-friendly-indicators.1071/

Hi guys How are you?

I'm new on this forum. I was wondering if we can have a buy/sell indicator for the IPhone? Something similar with the Supertrend buy/sell indicator for laptop (Windows). I know that in the App you cannot edit or import any script and you can only use the given studies.

Thanks.

There are probably more but here are some to start with:

Hi!

It is possible to build an aggregation range/renko chart on the ToS mobile app?

Thank you in advance,

I don’t think this will work on their mobile app. The ToS app itself is very limited.

Ben, do you have instructions for how to load indicators from the TOS desktop to the mobile app? Please help. Thanks!

There are no special instructions for loading indicators on the mobile app.

Certain ways of plotting may not work on mobile. Often, you'll just have to find other ways to have it do the same thing. For example, using conditions in AssignValueColor to assign color depending on the direction of a plot may not work. In this case, you'll have to have a plot for up and another plot for down and then use SetDefaultColor to defined the color for each direction. Example...

data.AssignValueColor(if data >0 then Color.Green else if data < 0 then Color.RED else Color.GRAY);

So instead of the line above, we may have to do something like...

plot upCond = if(data > 0, data, Double.Nan);
plot dnCond = if(data < 0, data, Double.Nan);
upCond.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
dnCond.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);

So you may just have to find another method of getting the same result.

Any way to re write this in that way so it will work on mobile platform?

MACDX.AssignValueColor(if MACDX >= 50 then if MACDX > MACDX[1] then Color.Light_Green else Color.Light_Red else if MACDX < MACDX[1] then Color.Light_Red else Color.Light_Green);
AddCloud(MACDX, MID, Color.Light_Green, Color.Light_Red);

AddCloud(MACDX, MID, Color.Light_Green, Color.Light_Red);

The above two functions AssignValueColor and AddCloud are not provided for in the ToS mobile app.

ToS Mobile does not support study formatting elements such as vertical lines, labels, bubbles, clouds, color changes for slopes and lines, renko, or multiple timeframes.

If attempting to get a study to work on the ToS mobile app, the formatting elements need to be removed.

i will try new to coding, just need to know its posible and not a wast of time.

I have an indicator that plots High low and mean of the prior day on my cell app works perfectly plotting horizontal lines , I put in another indicator the previous days close and that doesn't work ! I'm no scripter but isn't the HLM indicator more complex than the previous day close indicator ? Wonder why it's not working?

Will this work on the mobile app ?

[mashume]

I believe it will not; that ToS Mobile does not allow for secondary aggregations.

i don't think being complex is an issue for mobile studies.

we can't answer that question, (complex) . because we don't know what study you are talking about. post the code for HLM and maybe someone can modify it to add a previous day close price.

like mashume said, different aggregation may cause issuse, along with some other things ( see below)

. Bubbles
. Labels
. Plots between days

Hi. Going back to my question about a workable script for the IPhone. The first link mentioned above doesn't show any script for the mobile.

 

[aravind1403]

Hello everyone,

I got scripts for the all the indicators in subject from the forum. But none of them work for TOS mobile. Are there anyscripts for mobile, for instance default TTM squeeze in mobile ****s I got TTM pro which works similar to desktop. Can we make edits to the scrits so that it will work in mobile.

SInce I can only use mobile during trading times, I need these
