Check out our Buy the Dip indicator and see how it can help you find profitable swing trading ideas. Scanner, watchlist columns, and add-ons are included.
Please paste the scan script , I will try to replicate and find if I can see the same errorI watched Pete Hahn's video, added "within 8 days" at the end of the script and it still doesn't work. I'd gladly add a screenshot to show what's happening, but I can't figure out how to add a picture to this thread to save my life...
My scan parameters are: Trend_Reversal_SCAN()."downArrow" equals 1 within 8 bars
The error I get is, "Error processing referenced script Trend_Reversal_scan: No such function: CompoundValue at 1:1 Expected double" and "Trend_Reversal_Scan()" is highlighted in red as though thinkscript has issues with the scan itself...

I went to SCAN, added a filter (study) selected this scanner and picked "up arrow". It comes back error. I notice it says "value" is that correct?@BenTen This is the scanner that I was able to successfully setup : https://tos.mx/ace3eC
Give this a shot, I'll be trying this out tomorrow
