$TICK Charts, Divergences, Labels, etc for ThinkorSwim

[Skates]

have a slightly different way of plotting tick, figured I'd post it here, also includes alerts when tick reaches specified threshold (default +/- 1000) and plots a vertical line when threshold is reached, plus labels for breadth ratio, put/call ratio, and vix:

the labels are dark due to markets being closed, but the blue represents the tick high, orange is tick low and green or red depends on if it closes above or below zeroline. I find it easier to see the slope of the $tick trend this way.

declare lower;

input alerttype = Alert.BAR;
input alertsound = Sound.DING;
input alertThreshold = 1000;

plot zeroline = 0;
plot tick500 = 500;
plot tick500m = -500;
plot tick1000 = 1000;
plot tick1000m = -1000;

DefineGlobalColor("Vertical Line Color", Color.WHITE);

def NA = Double.NaN;
def ticko = open("$TICK");
plot tickc = close("$TICK");
plot tickh = high("$TICK");
plot tickl = low("$TICK");

def tickh1000test = tickh >= alertThreshold;
def tickl1000test = tickl <= -alertThreshold;
Alert(tickh1000test, " >+1000 $TICK", alerttype, alertsound);
Alert(tickl1000test, " <-1000 $TICK", alerttype, alertsound);
AddVerticalLine(tickh1000test, "+"+alertThreshold, GlobalColor("Vertical Line Color"));
AddVerticalLine(tickl1000test, "-"+alertThreshold, GlobalColor("Vertical Line Color"));

def PCALL = Round(close("$PCALL"),2);
def NYSEUVOL = close("$UVOL");
def NYSEDVOL = close("$DVOL");

def BR = Round(if NYSEUVOL >= NYSEDVOL then NYSEUVOL / NYSEDVOL else -(NYSEDVOL/NYSEUVOL),2);
AddLabel(1,"$TICK: "+ tickc, if tickc > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
AddLabel(1,"BR: " + BR ,if BR > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
AddLabel(1,"$PCALL: " + PCALL, Color.GRAY);
AddLabel(1, "VIX: "+ close("VIX"), Color.GRAY);

zeroline.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLACK);
tick500.SetDefaultColor(Color.GRAY);
tick500m.SetDefaultColor(Color.GRAY);
tick1000.SetDefaultColor(Color.GRAY);
tick1000m.SetDefaultColor(Color.GRAY);

Any idea on why I cannot get this one to work?

Any idea on why I cannot get this one to work?

The script that was referenced in your post seems "to work".

As you didn't provide any information about what you did or didn't do; providing further help is not possible.
When making future posts, it is important to understand what you did and where you did it.
It is requested that a DETAILED post of the steps taken be provided.
To better understand the issue, it is necessary to see what is being encountered.
Therefore, it is requested that the following be posted:

• Always provide the code that was copied and pasted. Even if it is thought to be the same as the one on the forum, it still needs to be seen. There may be a missing part of the code that is causing the issue.
• If you provide a chart link, members will be able to see what you are seeing (directions below).
• Always provide a screenshot of the problem. Annotate the image, highlighting which widget you are working in, along with a more detailed written explanation. This will help others to better understand the question and provide more specific information to work with.
