Outside Bars and/or Inside Bars (Candle) Combinations For ThinkOrSwim

[Thepremier]

Can someone help me with a script for an outside day and and an inside day? I would like to create a scan for them.

@mosog

You put the conditions inside the addchartbubble statement as the first parameter to determine whether or not the bubble is displayed.

input buyLevel = 0.20;
input sellLevel = 0.70;

def prevHigh = high[2];
def prevLow = low[2];
def prevClose = close [2];
def prevOpen = open [2];

def insideBar = high [1] < high [2] and low [1] > low [2];

def range1 = close [1] - low [1];
def range2 = high [1] - low [1];

def IBS = range1 / range2;

def longSignal = IBS < 0.20;
def shortSignal = IBS > 0.70;

AddChartBubble(insideBar and longSignal, high, IBS, color.green, yes);
AddChartBubble(insideBar and shortSignal, high, IBS, color.red, yes);

Svanoy:
Perhaps you would know how I could color the inside candle with a specific color?

 

[Svanoy]

@mosog
AssignPriceColor(if insideBar and longSignal then Color.BLUE else Color.CURRENT);

 

[mosog]

@mosog
AssignPriceColor(if insideBar and longSignal then Color.BLUE else Color.CURRENT);

Awesome, thx.

 

[mosog]

@mosog
AssignPriceColor(if insideBar and longSignal then Color.BLUE else Color.CURRENT);

It colors the candle after the inside candle, how do I tell it to color the inside candle?

 

[Svanoy]

@mosog
Change the AssignValue line to:
AssignPriceColor(if insideBar[-1] and longSignal[-1] then Color.BLUE else Color.CURRENT);

 

[mosog]

@mosog
Change the AssignValue line to:
AssignPriceColor(if insideBar[-1] and longSignal[-1] then Color.BLUE else Color.CURRENT);

of course, so simple it just didn't compute in my head. Thinkscript is different from regular programming, sometimes so simple its complex

Thank you for your help.

Change the AssignValue line to:
AssignPriceColor(if insideBar[-1] and longSignal[-1] then Color.BLUE else Color.CURRENT);

It seems like my condition for putting the ChartBubble doesn't really do the right thing, here is the complete code and a screenshot showing that the ChartBubble shows up when the conditions are not met, i.e. when IBS is not < 0.20 or > 0.70. I'm trying to figure it out but if you can spot it fast then I would appreciate that.
input buyLevel = 0.20;
input sellLevel = 0.70;

def stackedUp = MovAvgExponential("length" = 8)."AvgExp" is greater than MovAvgExponential("length" = 21)."AvgExp" and MovAvgExponential("length" = 21)."AvgExp" is greater than MovAvgExponential("length" = 34)."AvgExp" and MovAvgExponential("length" = 34)."AvgExp" is greater than MovAvgExponential("length" = 55)."AvgExp" and MovAvgExponential("length" = 55)."AvgExp" is greater than MovAvgExponential("length" = 89)."AvgExp";

def stackedDn = MovAvgExponential("length" = 8)."AvgExp" is less than MovAvgExponential("length" = 21)."AvgExp"
and MovAvgExponential("length" = 21)."AvgExp" is less than MovAvgExponential("length" = 34)."AvgExp"
and MovAvgExponential("length" = 34)."AvgExp" is less than MovAvgExponential("length" = 55)."AvgExp"
and MovAvgExponential("length" = 55)."AvgExp" is less than MovAvgExponential("length" = 89)."AvgExp";

def prevHigh = high[2];
def prevLow = low[2];
def prevClose = close [2];
def prevOpen = open [2];

def insideBar = high [1] < high [2] and low [1] > low [2];

def range1 = close [1] - low [1];
def range2 = high [1] - low [1];

def IBS = range1 / range2;

def longSignal = IBS < 0.20;
def shortSignal = IBS > 0.70;

AddChartBubble(insideBar[-1] and longSignal[-1] and stackedUp, high[1], IBS, color.green, yes);
AddChartBubble(insideBar[-1] and shortSignal[-1] and stackedDn, high[1], IBS, color.red, yes);
AssignPriceColor(if insideBar[-1] then Color.Yellow else Color.CURRENT);

AssignPriceColor(if insideBar[-1] then Color.Yellow else Color.CURRENT);

I think I just have to change to say IBS[-1] instead of IBS because that would be the number from the candle after insidecandle. Is that what you figure as well?

 

[Svanoy]

@mosog
Yes, that is correct. IBS is being calculated on previous bar data, so the value of IBS at each bar is actually the previous bar.

@om4
I made no change to your original code for defining an inside bar.
I only looked at high/low ranges of bars your code triggered on and provided an additional filter for minimum percentage.
I am not seeing a triggered candle at 1:45 on LC with the code in my last post.

the script is alerting the next candle after the inside bar. can you help adjust the script so that on the chart it has an up arrow in white size 4 pointing to the inside bar that met the conditions?

Adjusted plot location.

is there a way to have this work on the 1hr timeframe starting at 9:30am market open? i'm trying to run it as a scan and its not working at market open.

You cannot have a secondary aggregation period lower than the current chart.

break Above/Below/Inside the pervious day inside bar

Could this strategy for orb breakouts be changed to show on a different watch list?

I have an Inside daily bar watch list that I would like to show a break Above/Below/Inside the pervious day inside bar on. instead of watching charts I could just add something like this to the watch list and see multiple tickers at once for a break of the pervious day inside bar.

 

[SnowMonk]

I'm trying to figure out two different studies/indicators

Inside/Outside Bar
-when a Inside bar is formed it turns Orange with an option to have the #1 show up below or above the bar
-when an outside bar shows it turns Purple with an option to have the #3 show up below or above the bar

Daily ATR
Is there a way to make a script that takes the Daily ATR and then at market open it automatically plots data to show where the top and bottom would be based on ATR
then as the stock prices moves up or down the top or bottom trails showing the possible range of a stock if it holds to daily ATR?

Here is a chart with both scripts showing The red clouds indicate that the Daily ATR is greater than the Range (High-Low) during regular trading hours and green otherwise

Here is the inside/outside script

                    Low > Low[1]

Here is the ATR scxript with various options to display the data.

I have a code for a inside bar and outside bar I would like the script to put a dot on the candle instead of turning it a color.
Also a line at the high and the low of the inside bar or outside bar would be great.
If the script finds a double inside bar I would like an alert and a different color dot.

I'm not at my computer now so I'm not going to give an answer. But I will post a couple of links to other studies that do some of what you want.

these look for multiple smaller bars.

engulfing , outside bar
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...st-65-most-recent-days.7483/page-2#post-72474
post22
this looks for a big candle and several smaller candles before it.
when it finds an engulfing bar, it draws a bubble under the bar, with the count of previous small bars.


inside bar
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/congestion-zone.10503/#post-93191
post12
this looks for a big candle and several smaller candles after it.
draws horizontal lines and a cloud.

here is a modified version of your study,
..it finds inside bars and outside bars , of 1 and 2 bars.
..inside bars are drawn with cyan , outside bars are drawn with yellow.
..a small arrow is drawn on the big candle. cyan up for inside. yellow down for outside
..it draws lines from the big candle.
..patterns with 2 small bars have a triangle drawn on big candle.

the 2 formulas, insidebar and outsidebar, remove the same, smaller patterns within a larger one.
