ThinkorSwim Earnings Date Indicator and Watchlist Column

[BenTen]

Found this indicator created by Mobius while I was browsing the thinkScript Lounge. It adds two labels to your chart. One shows the next earning date for the stock. If the upcoming earning date is within five days, it will also add a bright red warning. It sort of acts as an attention grabber to let you know.

thinkScript Code

# Next Earnings Label
# Mobius

def Earnings = AbsValue(GetEventOffset(Events.Earnings, 0));
def NextEarnings = if isNaN(Earnings)
                   then 0
                   else Earnings;
def Month = getMonth();
def year = getYear();
def DOW = getDayOfWeek(getYYYYMMDD());
def today = getDayOfMonth(getYYYYMMDD());
def EarningDay = if NextEarnings + DOW <= 5
                 then NextEarnings + today
                 else if NextEarnings + DOw > 5
                 then NextEarnings + today + 2
                 else NextEarnings;
AddLabel(1, "Next " + getSymbol() + " earnings " + Month + "/" + EarningDay + "/" + AsPrice(year), color.white);
AddLabel(NextEarnings < 30 and NextEarnings > 0,
        "Earnings in " + NextEarnings +
       " trading days", if NextEarnings <= 4
                then Color.Red
                else Color.White);

Like this script. But it did not display the date correctly for some ticker. e.g.

Nice script! Very useful.

Although the creator is unknown...this one marks the chart and the user can add a shaded area for the number of days before and after the date...or none at all...just a line.

input daysBefore = 5;
input daysAfter = 5;

input showLines = yes;
input paintBackground = yes;

DefineGlobalColor("Before Earnings", Color.GREEN);
DefineGlobalColor("Earnings Release Date", Color.YELLOW);
DefineGlobalColor("After Earnings", Color.CYAN);
DefineGlobalColor("Fill Before", CreateColor(178, 216, 166));
DefineGlobalColor("Fill After", CreateColor(131, 191, 213));

AddVerticalLine(showLines and HasEarnings(), "Earnings!", GlobalColor("Earnings Release Date" ), Curve.FIRM);

def before = Sum(HasEarnings(), daysBefore)[-daysBefore];
def after = Sum(HasEarnings(), daysAfter)[1];

def value1 = HighestAll(high);
def value2 = if paintBackground and before then LowestAll(low) else Double.NaN;
def value3 = if paintBackground and after then LowestAll(low) else Double.NaN;

AddCloud(value1, value2, GlobalColor("Fill Before" ));
AddCloud(value1, value3, GlobalColor("Fill After" ));

Thanks ben, i like this scan too. But i would like to know if this scan can be configure to scan out stocks that are reporting earning in the next 30 - 40 days?

 

[zeek]

Anyone else having issues with this script? It doesn`t seem to work because no matter which chart i open, it says "Next Earnings in todays date". I havn`t found one single stock where it says "earnings in x trading days".

What am i missing here?

Unfortunately the Mobius script gives the wrong date on what I tried it on, BHC.

Blame it on a Tos update, just like the one that broke the scanner a year ago. Actually, this label needs the expansion open 50 bars or so to work. It only sees what is on the chart. IMO, you're best off using the selection "show corporate actions" in the settings.

Need help with this script. I get wrong results if earnings are after 30 days. I know I need another if statement but not sure what? Any help will be appreciated

# Next Earnings Label

def Earnings = AbsValue(GetEventOffset(Events.Earnings, 0));
def NextEarnings = if isNaN(Earnings)
                   then 0
                   else Earnings;
def Month = getMonth();
def year = getYear();
def DOW = getDayOfWeek(getYYYYMMDD());
def today = getDayOfMonth(getYYYYMMDD());
def EarningDay = if NextEarnings + DOW <= 5
                 then NextEarnings + today
                 else if between(NextEarnings + DOW, 5, 10)
                 then NextEarnings + today + 2
                 else if between(NextEarnings + DOW, 10, 15)
                 then NextEarnings + today + 4
         else if NextEarnings + Today > 15
                 then NextEarnings + today + 6
                 else NextEarnings;
AddLabel(1, "Next " + getSymbol() + " earnings " + Month + "/" + EarningDay + "/" + AsPrice(year), color.white);

@ansheth Please explain what you mean by wrong result? Please post what it looks like.
The code is fine. If it's over 30 days it is not supposed to show a result because that is how it is coded.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

AddLabel(NextEarnings < 30 and NextEarnings > 0, Looks like you are correct. Very straightforward. Everyone please read the code before seeking assistance.

Try This:

#################
# ER Labels
#################
def daysBefore = 100;
def erInDays = AbsValue(GetEventOffset(Events.EARNINGS, 0));
def before = Sum(HasEarnings(), daysBefore)[-daysBefore];
AddLabel(Yes, IF before THEN "ER: "+erInDays+" days" ELSE "ER: No", IF before THEN Color.RED ELSE Color.GREEN);

@ansheth

Rather than adding a label to my charts, I created a simple watchlist column to show the next earnings release date. I have it setup so that if earnings were released within the last 5 days it will show the most recent release date; otherwise it shows next earnings release.

# watchlist column for earnings release date
# Robert Payne
def PE = GetEventOffset(Events.EARNINGS, -1);
def NE = GetEventOffset(Events.EARNINGS, 0);
def z = if PE <= 5 then PE else NE;
# get the earnings date
def eDay = GetValue(GetDayOfMonth(GetYYYYMMDD()), z);
def eMonth = GetValue(GetMonth(), z);

AddLabel(yes, (if eMonth  < 10 then "0" else "") + eMonth + " / " +
              (if eDay < 10 then "0" else "") + eDay,
        if z <= 0 then Color.CYAN else Color.CURRENT);

 

[markos]

@RobertPayne that's a different way of doing it. Thanks for the alternative for those that like to work with an actual date.

 

[ansheth]

input length=60;
def xx = -getEventOffset(Events.EARNINGS);
def yy = sum(HasEarnings(type = EarningTime.AFTER_MARKET),length)[-length +1] > 0;
plot x=xx+yy*.5;
x.assignValueColor(if x>10 then color.light_red else if x>0 then color.green else color.dark_gray);
@RobertPayne I have this as a watch list column. It also gives me whether it is before Market or after market. But thank you very much. I was aware that I limited the date to not display if more then 30 days. It was my fault as I did not explain the problem correctly. My bad. I have fixed that problem. Thank you so much for your help. Very much appreciated

 

[cappermac]

@AGD Thanks for this. Simple.

 

[zeek]

@AGD Says "ER:No" no matter what symbol i input. Tried several companies with upcoming earnings.

 

[Johnny Cash]

I like this indicator, but it is not displaying the dates correctly. am i doing something wrong?

 

[jox51]

Try expanding the bar spacing on your chart to 30 days and then it should display the correct date.
