Scripting Overview — 3.3%

Code Structure Scripting code consists of one or more statements that are executed by the script interpreter. Individual statements are separated by semicolons. White spaces (spaces, tabs, carriage returns, etc.) have no effect on how scripts are interpreted. Scripts are case-insensitive (e.g. sma is the same as SMA ). Statements can do the following: Perform a calculation. Assign a value or calculation to a variable name. Accept user input into a variable. Plot values on a chart in various different formats. Configure the chart. [...]

Walkthrough #1 - A Basic Example — 0.8%

This walkthrough is intended to demonstrate the very basics of scripting. A chart script is composed of one or more script "statements". A statement can be either a mathematical function that produces a value, an assignment of a function to a variable to use later in the script, or a command instructing the scripting engine what or how to plot a value on chart. Before we get started, you should have a chart [...]

INPUT Function — 0.6%

The input function allows for user configuration of script parameters to customize a script on a chart. For example, a script that used a moving average would use the INPUT function to get the number of periods to use for the moving average. That would allow the same script to be used on multiple charts with different values for the number of periods. Numeric Values INPUT( label >, number >, min value >, max value >) Function Parameters Parameter Description label > The label [...]
