Open price of red candle and EMA 34

[Daniel]

 

[BenTen]

You should be able to set them up via the conditional wizard.

Here's an example:

Open is greater than or equal to EMA34

For request #4:

The open price of this particular red candle has to be equal to one of the previous opened price of red candle since the market opened on daily 1 min chart

You need to identify and define "this particular red candle" in a way that the TOS scanner can understand. I doubt it's possible unless you go into the specifics of it.

 

[Daniel]

Ben
How are you?

There is no way to create script for scaning of ....

Open price of red candle equal (can be also with small deviation) ) to one of the previous open red candle? (since the market opened)?


Thank you

Daniel

this looked like an interesting problem, so i wrote an upper study to draw arrows on the bars with a matching, previous open price.
I rarely write scans, so i'm not sure if this will work as a scan study, i didn't test it.
instead of looking for an exact match, i chose to check if the difference between 2 prices is less than a small number. ( i didn't want to miss a match, because one price has 4 decimal places and the other doesn't)
this is meant to be used during normal trading hours, not after hours.

there are bubbles that can be turned on, that show some variable values, barnumbers and bar counts.
can turn on labels that show similar data.

this is an upper chart study
during the current day,
when the current candle is moving down, (close < open)
look at previous candles,
search for and find the first match, a down candle with a similar open price.
a price match occurs when both opens are within a max difference. default is 0.005

halcyonguy,
how are you?
i see few sections here, which one is the scanner?
Thank you!

hi daniel, please go reread my post again. it is an upper study, not a scan.
" , so i wrote an upper study to draw arrows on the bars with a matching, previous open price.
I rarely write scans, so i'm not sure if this will work as a scan study, i didn't test it."
..
it is all one study. sometimes i add a row of characters between different sub sections of a study, to separate the different sections.

i haven't done much experimenting with scanner scripts, so i don't know if fold loops work the same when used in scan studies.

i will make another version , for a lower study. then theoretically you can remove the declare lower line and use it as a scan, but no guarantees.

 

[halcyonguy]

i didn't test this as a scan, which is why i am posting this as a lower study

here is a lower study. it plots a 1 when a match is found, a previous price matches the current price.

I am out of my home I will check it out later on
Thank you for you quick reply
Daniel.

Hi again

SET UP STUDY: ( i named it RED_CANDLE) ( everything looks alright to me)

SET UP SCAN :

i selected RED_CANDLE on my scan
I set it up on my scan as RED_CANDLE (plot z) IS true WITHIN 1 BARS , than i save it and click OK ( everything looks alright to me)
But... when i switch between Day to Minute or extended time box , i am receiving errors that negate the save button.
and the scan button can not be used.

Two questions:

1. We are asking the scan to search for red candle when the market open 09:30, is it the reason why changing the time frame to day or minutes causing me a problem?
2.i am in Los angeles ,do i have to change the time in the script from 0930; to 06:30am? because the market open at 06:30am los angeles times?


# get min from start time. calc qty bars so far today
def start = 0930;
def elapsedmin = (secondsfromTime(start) / 60);
def elapsedbars = elapsedmin / chartmin;

Thank you so much for your help !

Daniel

 

[Daniel]

this looked like an interesting problem, so i wrote an upper study to draw arrows on the bars with a matching, previous open price.
I rarely write scans, so i'm not sure if this will work as a scan study, i didn't test it.
instead of looking for an exact match, i chose to check if the difference between 2 prices is less than a small number. ( i didn't want to miss a match, because one price has 4 decimal places and the other doesn't)
this is meant to be used during normal trading hours, not after hours.

there are bubbles that can be turned on, that show some variable values, barnumbers and bar counts.
can turn on labels that show similar data.

this is an upper chart study
during the current day,
when the current candle is moving down, (close < open)
look at previous candles,
search for and find the first match, a down candle with a similar open price.
a price match occurs when both opens are within a max difference. default is 0.005

Hi
i went over your indicator , it is pretty good.
i have only small issues with the scanning.

Thanks so much for sharing with us.

 

[Daniel]

i didn't test this as a scan, which is why i am posting this as a lower study

here is a lower study. it plots a 1 when a match is found, a previous price matches the current price.

to try this as a scan study, remove the line
declare lower;

# findprevopen_01b_lower

# change upper to a lower
# to possibly be used in a scanner
#  disable labels
#  disable bubbles
#  convert plots to def.  have just 1 plot ,  1 or 0

HI AGAIN
What time frame should i set for my scanner?

Thanks so much !!!

 

[Daniel]

Hi again !
i am still looking for script scanner that finds the opening price of red candle that equal to the opening price of another red candle since the market opened, with the time frame of 1 Minute & 5 minuts.
Please see attached picture....the open price of red candle on the right side equal to the opening price of red candle on the left side .
Can anyone help ?
Thanks so much!

 

[MerryDay]

@Daniel

1. No you don't have to change your time zone
2. Can not be used on daily
3. set your timeframe to any intraday increment

Lastly, you can scan for anything that you can provide a mathematical quantative statement for.
We can't scan for "the open price of red candle on the right side equal to the opening price of red candle on the left side" as right side -- left side are not adequately defined.

Yell, if you have more questions.

MerryDay!
How are you?
My red candel indicator works good.
but above scan does not work really good for me.
can you please let me know what part of the scan i have to copy and paste to my thinkor swim.
i am missing something here.
Thanks so much

Daniel

Please provide:

1. your scan hacker script and
2. an image of the scan hacker and results and
3. a detail explanation of what "does not work really good"

Remember that the ToS platform requires mathematical definitions so, in your explanation of what you need, please provide logic that can be converted into code.
Unsure of how to upload screenshots to the forum, Here are directions.

My scanner show error

 

[Daniel]

if you see above photo on # 4 i attached before
open price of the red candel equal to open price of one of the previous open red candle.
Also look at my scan please , its show error when i set to to one min scan

Thank you !
