How To

If you were kind enough to become a lifetime member, I’ve sent you a slew of .ts files comprising all the studies on the site including those reserved as thank you gifts. It is far easier to load them in this way than to cut and paste. Follow the steps below to load the entire ThinkScripter bundle of studies. For those who have not donated but would like to, please click the Go PRO to the right and follow the instructions.

Steps to load all the studies at once (a single study is largely the same):
* You cannot double click a .ts file. You must load it from within the TOS “Load Studies” panel. Some operating systems may incorrectly identify these files as video files but that is OK. TOS will recognize the files correctly.
1) Save the .ts files to a location of your choosing.
2) Go to ToS charts and select the “Studies” -> “Edit Studies” option.
3) Click the “Load Study” button in the lower left.
4) Navigate to the studies folder and select all of the studies at once.
5) Click “Open” and, voila, they are all loaded.
6) Unless you want all of them applied to your current chart, you should probably remove them from the upper Added studies pane before you hit OK or Apply.
That’s it. Saves you a fair amount of cutting and pasting.

I will gladly pay, but what I really want is an alert system on TOS charts, not the one they already have which is very limited. Please let me know when you get a chance
What do you have to do to get real time quotes via ThinkorSwim?
fund an account with them. They may offer a few weeks of trial but you have to call and find out.
I had just donated $50 for the gold membership. Could you e-mail me the bundle script for TOS?
Thanks,

On the way Grace. Thank you.

I purchased the TS_HeikinAshiCandlestickOscillatorSTUDY.ts a few months back can I get the updated script for the paint bars?
Thanks
Hi,
I’m a newbie TOS user, and I’ve seen truckloads of TOS scripts on various web sites…
I’d really appreciate if you could show (or post a link to an explanation) how to enter scripts off web sites… ie how to copy and paste from a web site into TOS.
Thanks!

Sure thing Andy. I’ll put something together tonight.

Is there a way to initialize the first occurrence of a rec variable so that you don’t get a ‘Too early to access’ error in the following code:
rec signal;
if (signal[1] == 0)
then
{
signal = 1;
}
else ….
Check out the compoundValue() statement. It is used exactly for this purpose:
rec signal = compoundValue(number of bars for initial value, formula for all bars after initial bars, value on initial bars);
rec signal = compoundValue(1, signal[1]+1, 1);

I have noticed that sometimes stocks get stuck in a protracted trading range for an extended length of time. I would like to set up an automatic trade that will
1 allow me to allocate the start investment amount ( say $1000)
2 select the stock ( say ABCD)
3 set the entry price ( say $10)
4 set the exit price ( say $11)
5 execute trade and on exit ( at $11 first pass through) reset start investment amount to $1001 (in step 1) and repeat until I turn it off.
You should check out the TOS Prodigio automated trading system then. You cannot execute trades automatically with thinkScript.

Thank you.
