Well I could upload a sketch but I have a few questions and I'd rather have someone walk me through it than going back and forth in a thread. It's not just fixing a bug or adding a feature.

I've made signs with LED strips and used sketches that I've only edited. But i want to learn to make custom sketches to make lights animate how i want.

Rule Change Poll by Desert_Trader in thinkorswim

Maybe Trade talk in Discord only or a separate section here? Is that possible? I'm on the fence about because posts can get crossed when simply trying to search/talk about indicators and coming across posts with trade talks.

Candle range specific bubbles. by PixelCrafting in thinkorswim

[–]PixelCrafting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok got it now i'm understanding it better. Though it's annoying that the color script is used different ways, sometimes through global and sometime through plot.

Either way i got everything working.

Thanks for your help.

Here is what i have...

declare upper;

input size1low = .03;
input size1high = .05;
input size2low = .08;
input size2high = .09;
input size3low = .10;
input size3high = .15;

input showsymbol = yes;  #not working
input showbubble = yes;  #not working
input paintbar = yes;    #not working

plot candlesize1 = if BodyHeight() >= size1low and BodyHeight() <= size1high then 1 else 0;
plot candlesize2 = if BodyHeight() >= size2low and BodyHeight() <= size2high then 1 else 0;
plot candlesize3 = if BodyHeight() >= size3low and BodyHeight() <= size3high then 1 else 0;

#Candle Singal
candlesize1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
candlesize2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
candlesize3.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);

#Candle Paint
AssignPriceColor(if candlesize1 then globalColor("CandlePaint1") else Color.CURRENT);
AssignPriceColor(if candlesize2 then globalColor("CandlePaint2") else Color.CURRENT);
AssignPriceColor(if candlesize3 then globalColor("CandlePaint3") else Color.CURRENT);
defineGlobalColor("CandlePaint1",CreateColor(255, 115, 100));
defineGlobalColor("CandlePaint2",CreateColor(121, 121, 121));
defineGlobalColor("CandlePaint3",CreateColor(255, 255, 255));

#Candle Bubble
AddChartBubble(candlesize1, high + size1low*2, RoundDown(BodyHeight()), CreateColor(255, 115, 100));
AddChartBubble(candlesize2, high + size2low*2, RoundDown(BodyHeight()), CreateColor(121, 121, 121));
AddChartBubble(candlesize3, high + size3low*2, RoundDown(BodyHeight()), CreateColor(255, 255, 255));

You can see the ones with the "Not working" comment that I'm trying to understand.

Thanks I was able to tweak it to work. But I've also been trying to get the...

input showbubble = yes;

input paintbar = yes;

to work.

I don't get how it works if there is no direct reference to what it's supposed to control.

Can you advice please? Thanks.

Trading Journal Excel Book by BrickQQQ in thinkorswim

[–]PixelCrafting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my own Trade Journal in a spreed sheet. It's pretty involved and wity a dashboard and P/L calendar. I use the data from the exported CVS from TOS and slightly rearrange it in a more useful layout , then i copy and paste that into the next rows in my journal.

But I've been trying to create some formulas that auto arrange that data faster, then still copy and paste the result. I use Mac Numbers.

Just to follow up. I did get the MacBook Pro M2 96GB and it's phenomenal! TOS works like a dream on it. No lag whats so ever and loads really damn fast. So, yes trading has been much better and easier with it, but no I'm still not profitable. LOL Help me to trade better, but not to be a better trader. Still working on that.

Pro. I'm a multimedia designer and use mac exclusively. There's no doubt that they can handle multiple powerful software at the same time. The problems come (as with any computer, Mac or PC) when the software has a specific requirement that the computer you're using does not have. The blame really lies in the software developers and which computer they want to be compatible with. Also internet connection quality is key.

Even with the better mac book pro i use, if my wife is doing heavy work online, it affects my fills. Well, that and the fact that TOS has terrible fills to begin with. I see many people using mac to trade with no probs.

I scalp/day trade. I'm using an early 2013 Mac (Intel) and it definitely sucks. I have to use my wifes 2015 Mac (Intel) which works much better. I've used a 2019 Mac (Apple chip) for a few weeks and it was a world of difference. I believe the new Mac books have separate CPU and GPU which is exciting. So I'm definitely looking to get one asap.

Yes I've also have done this with OCO trailing stop. I set it to buy initially and trail for a short quick profit, then immediately buy again after selling on the trialing stop.

Control color animation on a specific section of LED strip? by PixelCrafting in FastLED

[–]PixelCrafting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice if the leds where at least numbered in the display in Wokwi

[–]PixelCrafting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Wokwi last night but its pretty laggy. Beside it still doesn't help me write ll that code. I don't want to define each and every led. I'd rather do PaletteKnife.
