You may also try the "thinkScript Lounge" Chat on TOS, and post your question. There are very sharp folks there that understand Thinkscript. You may also use the Double.NaN as non-printable value to effectively not plot a line segment.

@Brooks: I don't know precisely how you wish to define (within a range). I just hacked a quick Custom study, (Custom studies can be used in the sorting of TOS Scans) to look for %change in prior 90 bars (days) and fix a threshold (set to 10% here, that you can alter) that will effectively...

FYI: both reporting mechanisms for Market Sentiment are working! (Tom's and mine as a backup)

Tom: I suspect your tool is grabbing the incorrect /VX futures prices/products as the Contango being reported is way off! +51% when it is more like 14-15% range. -- When I pass the /VX futures prices to your url, the correct Contango is reported.

I did another manual post a few minutes ago {I think that is what you observed}. It appears to not be being updated from either of the automated processes currently (mine or Tom's) presently.

Tom: I do not know when that "403" error started occurring. It is possible that has been occurring for a very long time, as I only was observing the market lights as an indication the updates were occurring, however the updates may have been from your process instead of mine! -- I only...

U R Welcome. Let me know of any issues/suggestions for improvement.

Trying again to attach. This time as a zipped .ts file.

Here is current version.

IFF you use TOS, I have a thinkscript I wrote and have been using for years for tracking contango of the /VX futures. Ping if you have interest. See lower study below:

FWIW: 1) Saw your post today (7/12/23) and looked at program I run that should update those values every 5 minutes. Noticed that the code is now receiving error code 403 in response to posting the information to the Web page. Unclear why that error is occurring. Something changed, not yet...

Orange County (southern California) here.

Since you lack interest in VBA (I avoid it like the plague myself), would you have interest in coding a bit in Python? -- There are nice, easy to use python packages for interacting with Excel sheets, so your (python) code can do the interesting work, and place results back in Excel if you...

Amen! This can provide much clarity.

Wow! Hoping that most of the users via Aeromir have long since moved on and are not crippled by this event! (I could never get my OV to work, so they only got one year of my money years ago!)

IMO: If you think about what is happening with markets, there remain exploitable trades that can be discovered via backtesting! -- Just note that if you find one, others will eventually (if not before you) find it and the edge will get arbitraged away, but that is nature of the beast! -- Just...

This is unexpected: Still pondering. (20 Delta Strangle Decay low vs high IV.

IMHO: Another perspective on Back testing! Backtesting done properly (which will vary widely) can inform you what would/could have happened in the past within some bounds, with trying a fully unambiguous trading plan. You must consider slippage (beware that most backtests ASS-U-ME fills at...

No. Currently, and hope to keep it so {still early so I may change my mind}... These are cannon-launch trades. Fire, then it does what it does. I close the trades the next day near end of day regardless. Currently using TOS close the entire position at MARK - 25 cents at 12:55 Pacific...

Your observation is correct! The strike is placed 100 points beyond a forty delta strike currently. -- I hope to real this in to a more fine grain selection in time, but this has back tested well (unintuitive, perhaps as there are multiple factors in play). -- I expect this places the strike...
