THINKorSWIM RISK REWARD INDICATOR

@generic This is what I did to move the script to the right of the candles. Any suggestions or update is much appreciated!!

input action = {Default "Long","Short"};
input entry_price = 2.75;
input sl_percent =0.3;
input rr_ratio = 2;
input position_size = 2000;
input offset = 5;
def shares = position_size / entry_price;
plot stop;
switch (action) {
case Long:
stop = if isnan(close[5]) then round((position_size - (sl_percent * position_size / 100)) / shares)
else double.nan;
Case Short:
stop = if isnan(close[5]) then round((position_size + (sl_percent * position_size / 100)) / shares)
else double.nan;}

plot entry = if isnan(close[5]) then entry_price else double.nan;
plot t1 = if isnan(close[5]) then entry_price + rr_ratio * (entry_price - stop) else double.nan;
plot t2 = if isnan(close[5]) then entry_price + (2 * rr_ratio) * (entry_price - stop) else double.nan;
plot t3 = if isnan(close[5]) then entry_price + (3 * rr_ratio) * (entry_price - stop) else double.nan;
AddCloud(entry_price, stop, Color.GRAY, Color.GRAY);
AddCloud(t1, t2, Color.GREEN, Color.GREEN);
AddCloud(t2, t3, Color.LIGHT_GREEN, Color.LIGHT_GREEN);

AddChartBubble(IsNaN(close[5]) and !IsNaN(close[6]), entry_price, entry_price, Color.Light_Gray);
AddChartBubble(IsNaN(close[5]) and !IsNaN(close[6]), t1, "T1 $" + t1, Color.GREEN);
AddChartBubble(IsNaN(close[5]) and !IsNaN(close[6]), t2, "T2 $" + t2, Color.GREEN);
AddChartBubble(IsNaN(close[5]) and !IsNaN(close[6]), t3, "T3 $" + t3, Color.GREEN);
AddChartBubble(IsNaN(close[5]) and !IsNaN(close[6]), stop, "STOP $" + stop, Color.RED, no);

@madburg Ill check it out after market close today, post a ss if you can. The squished chart might be because you have Fit Studies enabled.
You were correct the option "Fit Studies" was enabled, once I disabled it your script worked as expected and that behavior of a squished chart stopped. Thank you.

Any idea why if I try to pull both average price and quantity dynamically it doesn't work?:

Replacing "input entry_price = 2.75;" with "def entry_price = GetAveragePrice();"
Replacing "input position_size = 50;" with "def position_size = GetQuantity();"
 
@madburg I think portfolio functions need to be enabled in your TD account settings which you need to ask TOS support for. I'm not 100% sure on this.
 
@rwfarrell @hockeycoachdoug Only works for long, I'll add short to it if you guys are gonna use this.
Code:
input amount = 2000;
input risk = 100;
input price = 2.75;
input ratio = 2;

def shares = floor(amount / price);
plot stop = if isnan(close[-1]) then round((amount - risk) / shares) else double.nan;
plot entry = if isnan(close[-1]) then price else double.nan;
plot t1 = if isnan(close[-1]) then price + ratio * (price - stop) else double.nan;
plot t2 = if isnan(close[-1]) then price + (2 * ratio) * (price - stop) else double.nan;
plot t3 = if isnan(close[-1]) then price + (3 * ratio) * (price - stop) else double.nan;

addcloud(price, stop, color.gray, color.gray);
addcloud(t1, t2, color.green, color.green);
addcloud(t2, t3, color.light_green, color.light_green);

addchartbubble(isnan(close[2]) and !isnan(close[3]), price, price, color.white);
addchartbubble(isnan(close[2]) and !isnan(close[3]), t1, "T1 $" + t1, color.green);
addchartbubble(isnan(close[2]) and !isnan(close[3]), t2, "T2 $" + t2, color.green);
addchartbubble(isnan(close[2]) and !isnan(close[3]), t3, "T3 $" + t3, color.green);
addchartbubble(isnan(close[2]) and !isnan(close[3]), stop, "STOP $" + stop, color.red, no);
addchartbubble(isnan(close[10]) and !isnan(close[11]), price, "SHARES:" + shares, color.yellow);
What is input ratio? Input price?? Thank you
 
can this be tied to a delta for options to the stop price? So if im buying the option price at $5.00 with a delta of ..50 and i want a risk reward of 3/1 the stock has to move $3.00 to get a $1.50 move etc

No delta is not available for your script
 
@otterflips What ticker were you looking at? I think the point of this indicator is to have the freedom of manual inputs but I can make some changes when I have time. Lmk know what you're looking for and I'll try to adjust it

anyway can be somewhat automated? or when there is no trade have it at the current price bar?any options on getting it to plot once certain conditions are met or levels are broken? kind of like how the ORB strategy doesnt generate targets until conditions are met,,,

any assiastance will be greatly appreciated

They cannot be automated. The only thing you can do is create a strategy that prints entries and exists on the chart.
 
I created the study and copy and pasted the code in and the code checks out with no errors. I have been using it on the daily time frame. If I check the left axis button., the values will show up on the left, but not to scale on the chart. In other words where it might say price target #1 is at 83, the price bubble says 83 but the level it is displayed at might be 100. And there are no lines drawn. I believe when fully working there will be lines drawn indicating entry, stop loss, and three price target levels and price bubbles reflecting those values on the right. I have tried using varying inputs like different position sizes, r/r, stop loss values etc. but to no avail. I have used other custom scripts with no issues in the past, so I am not sure why this one is giving me trouble.

great script. I wanted to change something, but nothing happened. If it is possible I ask for help.
1) I would like the entry price to be the last price on the chart and it to be dynamic, not standing still.
2) So that this data would work on all charts when switching and I did not need to change anything.
I indicate the volume, risks and buying or selling and the data dynamically changes on each chart depending on the price change.

change:
input entry_price = 2.75;
to:
def entry_price = close;
