Previous Day High/Low/Close For ThinkOrSwim

[Lyled7]

I know there are several posts about this, but i can't seem to put all of the codes together and make it work.

I'm looking to plot the previous day high and then create a scanner using a 2min time frame that alerts me when a stock has broken above the previous day high. Can someone please help me with this?

I'm currently using the TOS built in study "dailyhighlow" which does a great job of plotting a reference line. But i can't seem to make the scanner work b/c of the "aggregation period" error.

thanks

The following script in the code below seems to work on testing (501 hits just a few minutes ago) using a 2m scan setting.

def ymd         = GetYYYYMMDD();
def capture     = !IsNaN(close) and ymd != ymd[1];
def dayCount    = CompoundValue(1, if capture then dayCount[1] + 1 else dayCount[1], 0);
def pd          = (HighestAll(dayCount) - dayCount)  ;
def ph          = if pd==1 and secondsfromTime(0930) == 0
                  then high
                  else if pd==1 and secondsTillTime(1600) > 0
                  then max(high, ph[1])
                  else ph[1];
plot scan       = pd == 0 and secondstillTime(1600) > 0 and close crosses above ph;

Thanks. So how would i set up a scanner using this code? Would i enter a new study in my scan and do something like "when close crossed above StudyName"?

Can someone help me with the code below just like how i am getting previous day close, open i want globex as well. I added globex but its putting a line for previous days and no labels are showing. Please make Globex look like previous day close, open, hight etc. Thanks!

def NA = Double.NaN;

input agg = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = no;
input showBubbles = yes;
input showValuesInBubbles = yes;
input spaceBetween = 1;
plot currentOpen;
plot prevDayClose;
plot prevDayLow;
plot prevDayHigh;
def exp = IsNaN(close[spaceBetween]);

currentOpen = if exp then open("period"=agg) else NA;
prevDayClose = if exp then close("period"=agg)[1] else NA;
prevDayLow = if exp then low("period"=agg)[1] else NA;
prevDayHigh = if exp then high("period"=agg)[1] else NA;

AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(currentOpen[1]) and !IsNaN(currentOpen) then currentOpen else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "CurrOpen $"+currentOpen else "CurrOpen", Color.WHITE, yes);
AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(prevDayClose[1]) and !IsNaN(prevDayClose) then prevDayClose else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "PrevClose $"+prevDayClose else "PrevClose", Color.YELLOW, yes);
AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(prevDayLow[1]) and !IsNaN(prevDayLow) then prevDayLow else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "PrevLow $"+prevDayLow else "PrevLow", Color.RED, yes);
AddChartBubble(showBubbles, if IsNaN(prevDayHigh[1]) and !IsNaN(prevDayHigh) then prevDayHigh else NA, if showValuesInBubbles then "PrevHigh $"+prevDayHigh else "PrevHigh", Color.GREEN, yes);

currentOpen.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
prevDayLow.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
prevDayHigh.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
prevDayClose.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
currentOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
prevDayLow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
prevDayHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
prevDayClose.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

declare once_per_bar;
declare hide_on_daily;

def Globex_Open = 1630;
def Globex_Close = 0930;

def today = GetDay() == GetLastDay();

#change plots to if today then globexhigh else double.nan;

def h = high;
def l = low;
def globexOpen = secondsFromTime(Globex_Open) >= 0 or secondsTillTime(Globex_Close)>0;
def globexReset = globexOpen and !globexOpen[1];


def globexHigh = compoundValue(1, if((h > globexHigh[1] and globexOpen) or globexReset, h, globexHigh[1]), h);
def globexLow = compoundValue(1, if((l < globexLow[1] and globexOpen) or globexReset, l, globexLow[1]), l);


plot Globex_High = globexHigh;
Globex_High.HideBubble();
Globex_High.HideTitle();
plot Globex_Low = globexLow;
Globex_Low.HideBubble();
Globex_Low.HideTitle();

Just copy the scan code in post #100 below into the thinkscript editor

def ymd         = GetYYYYMMDD();
def capture     = !IsNaN(close) and ymd != ymd[1];
def dayCount    = CompoundValue(1, if capture then dayCount[1] + 1 else dayCount[1], 0);
def pd          = (HighestAll(dayCount) - dayCount)  ;
def ph          = if pd==1 and secondsfromTime(0930) == 0
                  then high
                  else if pd==1 and secondsTillTime(1600) > 0
                  then max(high, ph[1])
                  else ph[1];
plot scan       = pd == 0 and secondstillTime(1600) > 0 and close crosses above ph;

I want to add a customized version of the Net Change/Net Percent quotes to my watchlists that use the dailyopen price instead of the prior session's closing price as the input.

Is there a way to view/copy/edit/paste the code from ToS's standard quotes? If I can copy/edit the standard Net Change code to change the inputs, that would be helpful.

Thanks.

@TUFI

So..... You want the %change of Yesterday's daily open stock price from Today's open daily stock price in a watchlist?

plot change = round((open - open[1]) / open[1] * 100,2) ;
AssignBackgroundColor(
if change > 0 then color.green else color.red);

Does anyone know of a scan that is set up on a 5min time frame that alters when price close above the previous day. I know there is one that you can use for the first 5 minutes and is was built by Robert Payne.

I am looking for a scan that runs throughout the day for and stock where the price crosses the previous high/low of day on a 5 min timeframe.

@kevinasore see https://usethinkscript.com/threads/previous-day-high-low-close.3494/page-6#post-76145

I am trying to write a script that scans for stocks who's current price is above yesterday's high. That seems like it should be a simple script, but I can't seem to figure it out. I tried searching for scripts but no luck. Thanks.

 

[MerryDay]

@Brain Monkey https://usethinkscript.com/threads/previous-day-high-low-close.3494/page-6#post-76145 might work for you,

@Brain Monkey https://usethinkscript.com/threads/previous-day-high-low-close.3494/page-6#post-76145 might work for you,

I posted about this on another thread MD and I think Ramzee asked about this earlier in this thread, but is there a simple scan to find stocks that have a higher closing price than the previous bar (1 bar ago). I will use weekly aggregation...thanks for any help with this!

 

[MerryDay]

@Andygray8 the scan logic would be:

high < high[1]

with a time aggregation of weekly

Is there a way to scan for stocks that have a moving average line cross the previous day high? So for example, a 21 day exponential moving average line?

ExpAverage(close, 21) crosses high[1]

 

[Lyled7]

ExpAverage(close, 21) crosses high[1]

This doesn't work - i'm looking for the previous day high crossover.

 

[MerryDay]

high[1] is the definition of the previous day high.
Please provide a screen grab of a chart that highlight the plots you are looking for and illustrate the crossover that you want to scan.

Unsure of how to upload screenshots to the forum, Here are directions.

I am trying to put this into 1 or 2 min scan and I get an error saying that secondary period not allowed: day

Requirement: Find the ticket that current candle high crosses the high in first 15 mins and open is greater than yesterday close.

input ORBegin = 0930;
input OREnd = 0945;
def ORActive = if SecondsTillTime(OREnd) > 0 and SecondsFromTime(ORBegin) >= 0 then 1 else 0;
rec ORHigh = if ORHigh[1] == 0 or ORActive[1] == 0 and ORActive == 1 then high else if ORActive and high > ORHigh[1] then high else ORHigh[1];
def Yclose = close(period = "day" )[1];
plot breakOpen = if (high crosses above ORHigh and open > Yclose)  then 1 else 0;

Is this the right way to put as a scan to fit my requirement?

The Peculiarities Of Secondary Aggregations

There is no work-around to the limitation of no secondary aggregations can be used in the TOS Scan Hacker

You can read about it here:

[DrDers]

Try this. It allows you to plot previous selectable days H, L, and/or HL2

This is great I have been looking for something like this! A couple of questions for you:

Is there a reason it does not plot the high and lows for the day? I see that it is coded for highs and lows to show up as green and red, and I would love to be able to have them too if possible.

Also, it looks like I can only get it to display on intraday charts, how would I have this display on daily timeframes?

How could I get this do to the same thing for weekly or monthly candles?

Thanks again!!
