SecondsFromMidnight() Function

[printtech]

I'm trying to use the function SecondsFromMidnight(), and thinkScript is reporting that there is no such function. Is that true?

 

[halcyonguy]

that is not a valid function

go search in the manual online
there is this one, seconds from a time

Thank you for the answer. I was trying to get help writing thinkScript code using Chat GPT Gemini, and it kept saying that this command exists. Short answer: Chat GPT Gemini doesn't do very well at writing thinkScript code.

yup, AI doesn't know thinkscript. it confuses in pinescript and others..
thinkscript is simple enough , just put a few weeks on it and it will start clicking. look at many different functions in the online manual and try the examples. then change it and see what happens. i did this 100s of times. i am a horribly slow learner and i got it figured out.

Hello, I'm trying to build a script with the following functionality:

1) For the past 3 years on the SPX (SP500)
2) Look at the trading price for each day, find the High and Low price between 9:30 am (Open) and 11:30 am.
3) Determine the trading price at 11:30 am, and then make two price points, one that is $40 above that price point (call it the +40 point), and one that is $40 below that price point (call it the -40 point). 4) For that same trading day between 11:30 am and 4:00 pm, , determine if the SPX price exceeded the +40 point or the -40 point.
5) Count the number of days that the condition in step 4 occurred.
6) Determine the percentage of days out of the past 3 years that the condition in step 4 occurred.

Presumably, this script would be a Study in TOS. I'm fairly new at writing thinkScript code, but I do have experience at programming (not Python or anything recent). I've been trying to get help from Chat GPT Gemini with this effort, but the code provided by Chat GPT Gemini has been problematic. I have a attached a file with various code snippets from Chat GPT Gemini.

I have been looking for similar scripts on usethinkscript.com, but I cannot find them. If someone could point me to some similar scripts, then I might be able to piece together the thinkScript code. We would be appreciative for any help or comments.

Thank you.
