True IV Percentile (not rank)

[Bigcheefer30]

Using this script for IV Percentile (not rank) http://pdvwrt.blogspot.com/2014/03/think-or-swim-tos-iv-percentile.html

I've been trying to figure out how to build a custom scan (to look for anything > 75 for example), but am getting all sorts of errors in the thinkScript Editor. I can't get to the point where I can actually hit OK- just getting invalid arguments about plots/scans. Been wracking my brain for weeks on YT/web and cant figure it out.

Anyone out there skilled with ToS thinkScript willing to help a lad out?

I don't think there should be more than 3 lines of code, I just can't find the combo...it has to be something like..(my study name is "IVPercentile")

IVPercentile().Scan == 1

plot Scan = IVPercentile > 75

Would very much so appreciate any insight and will send good weekend vibes your way for support.

Thanks in advance amigos.

add to that script

plot Percentile = round(count_is_under_iv_today_r * 100 / length,2);

Go to SCAN tab on TOS, Add filter Study, Select Custom..., add that study (IVPercentile) is greater than (value) 75
Hope this helps!

Don, thanks!!!! That worked

Any thoughts on how to filter out "NaN" values easily?
Tried setting not equal to NaN.
Tried 75 < IVPercentile < 100

@Bigcheefer30 Sorry I don't know how to do that

@Bigcheefer30 Sorry I don't know how to do that

Thanks for trying, Don! Appreciate it. I'm not sure why I'm getting the NaN values in the first place. When I look at the study plotted against the chart, I can see a value..for example, 74.31. But in the scan (the underlying was found and returned) the value in the table is NaN? Is there a way to modify the script to overwrite this or compensate?

 

[Don]

@Bigcheefer30 I am not experienced with any NaN? Where did you see NaN on what table? On watchlist? If you scan for >75, why did you see 74.31? Not sure if I can help but I can't duplicate your error.

This is cool, thanks. The plots and the scan seem to be working but when I use the same scan as a custom column to see the actual IV percentile value all I get is 0.0.

Thank you all for this
