Portfolio Functions In ThinkOrSwim

[chewie76]

In my watchlist I'd like to add a column for the P/L % but have it in a specific color based on what the percentage is at. For example, if my % is higher than 75 then I'd like to change the color to green.

In theory it should be something like
def avg = GetAveragePrice();
def mark = GetMark();

then I'd do the calculations.

My problem is simply starting off. I cannot figure out how to get my average price and the mark. Does anyone know the function for that?? Thanks!

I wasn't able to make that work.

Hi, I am new to ThinkScript and can't find a way to do this. I would like to put a calculation in a custom column in the Position Statement section of the Monitor Tab that simply calculates 20% of the trade price. I think I've learned that I can use GetAveragePrice() in my calculation as the Trade Price. But I entered def TradePrice = GetAveragePrice() and got an error saying there is no such function. It also said I need at least one plot, but I'm not suing this for a chart.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. Also, where is the best place to learn thinkscript syntax, such as tutorials, websites, etc.

Appreciate your help.

Dave

Hey hey!

Would a script like this one be expected to work in terms of ThinkScript API syntax ?

def PLPercent = ((close - AveragePrice()) / AveragePrice()) * 100;

AddLabel(yes, AsText(PLPercent, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES) + "%",
    if PLPercent > 0 then Color.GREEN
    else if PLPercent < 0 then Color.RED
    else Color.GRAY);

I put this script into a Custom Column in the Column configuration model dialog.

My result under Monitor::Activity and Position::Equities and Equity Options"
In the new column "myPL%" I see "loading" on every position row.

Basically no result. Just says loading forever.

I am sure that I must be doing something wrong. Please ask me questions.

In a cash account. GetNetLiq/GetTotalCash aren't quite what I was looking for and couldn't find anything that would show 'Available Funds For Trading'. Thanks in advance.

In TOS, they have something called "Settled Funds". That will tell you how much you have left to trade with in your accounts.

Hope this helps!

Sadly, "settled funds" is not available in ToS watchlists nor scripting

next time , make a lower study and test it.
that way you can see what is wrong.

ThinkScript is not the API . they are 2 separate things

AveragePrice() is not a valid function. next time if things don't work , look it up
https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Portfolio/GetAveragePrice
GetAveragePrice() is the function

if average price is 0, then you get an error.
i added a check to get around that.

#col_avgpr_color_lower

declare lower;

#def PLPercent = ((close - AveragePrice()) / AveragePrice()) * 100;
#def PLPercent = ((close - getAveragePrice()) / getAveragePrice()) * 100;

def ap = getAveragePrice();
def PLPercent = if ap > 0 then ((close - ap) / ap) * 100 else 0;

AddLabel(yes, AsText(PLPercent, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES) + "%",
    if PLPercent > 0 then Color.GREEN
    else if PLPercent < 0 then Color.RED
    else Color.GRAY);


addchartbubble(0, 0,
 getAveragePrice()
, color.yellow, no);

The above are the portfolio script functions.
They are not available for use in watchlists, or as custom columns in the Monitor Tab or Positions or Activity Statements
read more about the other limitations with these functions:
https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Portfolio

The ONLY portfolio columns available are:

Sadly no. These watchlist columns are not customizable or modifiable.
