Previous Day High/Low/Close For ThinkOrSwim

[Investingtogive]

Try this code. It has been working for me. It does HLC of the previous day and seems to work on all instruments.

input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input length = 1;
input displace = -1;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;
plot PrevDayHigh;
plot PrevDayLow;
plot PrevDayClose;

if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1])
{
    PrevDayHigh = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayLow = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayClose = Double.NaN;
}
else
{
    PrevDayHigh = Highest(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    PrevDayLow = Highest(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    PrevDayClose = Highest(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
}
PrevDayHigh.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0,255,255));
PrevDayHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayLow.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0,255,255));
PrevDayLow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayClose.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(116,189,239));
PrevDayClose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);
PrevDayClose.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);

@Investingtogive Hi This code Works. WOuld it be possible to add Open as well? Thank you man!

 

[netarchitech]

@iambkm01 As requested, the Open should be added as well:

input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input length = 1;
input displace = -1;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;

plot PrevDayOpen;
plot PrevDayHigh;
plot PrevDayLow;
plot PrevDayClose;

if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(open(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1])
{
    PrevDayOpen = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayHigh = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayLow = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayClose = Double.NaN;
}
else
{
    PrevDayOpen = Highest(open(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    PrevDayHigh = Highest(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    PrevDayLow = Highest(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
    PrevDayClose = Highest(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);
}
PrevDayOpen.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(116,189,239));
PrevDayOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);
PrevDayOpen.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);

PrevDayHigh.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0,255,255));
PrevDayHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayLow.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0,255,255));
PrevDayLow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayClose.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(116,189,239));
PrevDayClose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);
PrevDayClose.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);

Hope this helps...

Good Luck and Good Trading

@netarchitech This is amazing, exactly what I needed. May the trading gods send profits down your way man. THANKS!!!!

Hi Man, quick question...sorry for the follow up. Futures are displaying fine but for stocks, it is keeping yesterdays lines and todays in the graphics:

 

[netarchitech]

Hi @iambkm01

It looks like there is an additional parameter that affects the display of the OHLC lines...I had to rework the code a little bit to accommodate this...

Below is the new code to replace the old OHLC code...

input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input length = 1;
#input displace = -1;
input displace_amount = {default zero, negative_one};

def displacement;
switch (displace_amount) {
case zero:
    displacement = 0;
case negative_one:
    displacement = -1;
}

input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;

plot PrevDayOpen;
plot PrevDayHigh;
plot PrevDayLow;
plot PrevDayClose;

if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(open(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1]) and !IsNaN(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1])
{
    PrevDayOpen = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayHigh = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayLow = Double.NaN;
    PrevDayClose = Double.NaN;
}
else
{
    PrevDayOpen = Highest(open(period = aggregationPeriod)[displace_amount], length);
    PrevDayHigh = Highest(high(period = aggregationPeriod)[displace_amount], length);
    PrevDayLow = Highest(low(period = aggregationPeriod)[displace_amount], length);
    PrevDayClose = Highest(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[displace_amount], length);
}
PrevDayOpen.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(116, 189, 239));
PrevDayOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);
PrevDayOpen.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);

PrevDayHigh.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0, 255, 255));
PrevDayHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayLow.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(0, 255, 255));
PrevDayLow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);

PrevDayClose.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(116, 189, 239));
PrevDayClose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.LINE);
PrevDayClose.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);

Once the old code is replaced, just follow the steps below to resolve this issue...

The chart below shows the extra lines you wanted removed...Just in case, I retained the lines, but you don't have to view them if you don't want to...Just keep the "displace amount" set to "zero"...

To view just the current lines shown below, just make sure to keep the "displace amount" set to "zero"...

Hope this helps...

Good Luck and Good Trading

@netarchitech Thank you so much for the OHLC code. Greatly appreciated!!

 

[iambkm01]

@netarchitech Hi Dude - once again thank you and happy new year. I am so thankful for the code you created last time I was here. I am back because I would like to ask you if you would have or be able to write a code for Overnight/PreMarket session High and Low. It would be great if you could write this in a separate code file that I could save. Let me know if this is possible. Thank you!!

 

[cabe1332]

@shahgols this may help. Below is a script I have for a label that will provide you with the Pre-market gap up/down $ and %. Give it a shot! I hope that helps. I have attached a screenshot of the label as well. Good luck. @cabe1332

#Start code

def AP = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
def Priorclose = close(period = AP)[1];
def PctChange = (close - Priorclose) / Priorclose;
def PMGapUP = Round(close - Priorclose, 2);
def PC1 = Round(PctChange, 2);

AddLabel (1, "PM Gap Up/Down $: " + PMGapUP +" | " + AsPercent(PC1),
    if  Priorclose < close then color.light_green else CreateColor(255, 153, 153));

AddLabel (1, "Prior Close Price $: " + Round(Priorclose, 2),
    if  Priorclose < close then color.light_green else CreateColor(255, 153, 153));

#End code

@shahgols I don't think so. The change is relative to the initial value which is open.

 

[cabe1332]

@shahgols I don't think so. The change is relative to the initial value which is open.

Hey @shahgols, I reposted and added the "Prior Close". Hope that helps.

Hello,

I have been trying to write a piece of simple code to compare the previous day's closing price to the current candle close price, and although this seems like it should be very simple, I have not been able to get the results I would expect. The following is the code I have been trying to use. Is this correct or what am I doing wrong. Thank you for any help you can provide!

plot gap = close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[-1] > close[1];

 

[generic]

@Jobbers plot gap = close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY) > close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[1];

 

[Jobbers]

@generic, thx! Will that look at the current candle's close price and compare it to the previous day's close price? Also, will this work in premarket? thx again!

Just to restate, this is being used in a scanner, not in a chart. Not sure that matters in this case, but wanted to point that out. Thx!

 

[standai]

I am wondering the same. How to make it a current quote price? ...

 

[generic]

@Jobbers It compares the current daily close to yesterday's close. I don't think it'll work in PM since the new daily bar isn't plotted yet but I'm not too sure on that.

@standai The quote price should be the current close so I'm not sure what you mean.

Hi Everyone,

First post on the forum! I found a study that plots the prior day's high/low onto a chart. I find this useful for directional bias intraday. I'm a complete newb when it comes to scripting on ThinkorSwim and wanted to see if it's possible to add Up/Down arrows to the code for the following scenarios below:

1. Stock crosses above yesterday's high: Up Arrow (Green Color)
2. Stock crosses above yesterday's low: Up Arrow (Green Color)
3. Stock crosses below yesterday's high: Down Arrow (Red Color)
4. Stock crosses below yesterday's low: Down Arrow (Red Color)

How do I create a scanner for these scenarios as well?

Code:
#Study:Common Level
#by thetrader.top
declare hide_on_daily;
declare once_per_bar;

input timeFrame = {default DAY, WEEK, MONTH};

plot high = If(GetAggregationPeriod() <= AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN, high(period = timeFrame)[1], Double.NaN);
plot Low = If(GetAggregationPeriod() <= AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN, low(period = timeFrame)[1], Double.NaN);

high.SetDefaultColor (Color.GREEN);
high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
Low.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
Low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);

@swetrades

# Study: Common Level
# by thetrader.top
# 06.01.21 - arrows added

declare hide_on_daily;
declare once_per_bar;

input timeFrame = {default DAY, WEEK, MONTH};

plot high = If(GetAggregationPeriod() <= AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN, high(period = timeFrame)[1], Double.NaN);
plot Low = If(GetAggregationPeriod() <= AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN, low(period = timeFrame)[1], Double.NaN);
plot crossabovehigh = close crosses above high;
plot crossbelowhigh = close crosses below high;
plot crossbelowlow = close crosses below low;
plot crossabovelow = close crosses above low;

high.SetDefaultColor (Color.GREEN);
high.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
Low.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
Low.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
crossabovehigh.setpaintingstrategy(paintingstrategy.boolean_arrow_up);
crossabovehigh.setdefaultcolor(color.green);
crossbelowhigh.setpaintingstrategy(paintingstrategy.boolean_arrow_down);
crossbelowhigh.setdefaultcolor(color.yellow);
crossbelowlow.setpaintingstrategy(paintingstrategy.boolean_arrow_down);
crossbelowlow.setdefaultcolor(color.red);
crossabovelow.setpaintingstrategy(paintingstrategy.boolean_arrow_up);
crossabovelow.setdefaultcolor(color.dark_orange);

# end code

below is a label by cabe 1332 that shows pre-market gaps. i'm trying to modify it a bit ...

1/ to show results for both after hours and premarket, depending on where we are, time-wise.

2/ meanwhile, i'm just trying to understand what i'm seeing, as in the pic below. the closing price on 6/4 was 99.57. right now, the label is showing the closing price for 5/3, ie 96.50. my assumption is that the label will change to 99.57 once premarket trading begins. think that's right?

3/ and if we could add AH to the label, then it would already reflect the 6/4 price of 99.57 and any after-hour changes that occurred once the regular trading session closed. right?

4/ if AH can't be added the current label, perhaps someone could help me construct a label that only uses AH and I can add that separately. i have an idea about how to this but if someone beats me to the punch, well, okay, thanks!

okay, lookin' good. but ... any way to get it to work on daily charts?

thanks again!
