Scan to get First buy signal from a strategy

Dear Pete,

Great fan of your work. I’m a newbie to TOS platform (new to trading too).

I’ve watched your videos multiple times and almost went through all the TOS categories in this forum.

I have taken code from one of your replies from the Strategy section and created a scan (& a watchlist) based on it.

<strong><em>Strategy code:</em></strong>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

def haclose = (open + high + low + close) / 4;

def haopen = compoundValue(1, (haopen[1] + haclose[1]) / 2, (open[1] + close[1]) / 2);

def Yesterday_haclose = (open from 1 bar ago + high from 1 bar ago + low from 1 bar ago + close from 1 bar ago) / 4 ;

def Yesterday_haopen = compoundValue(1, (Yesterday_haopen[1] + Yesterday_haclose[1]) / 2, (open[1] + close[1]) / 2);



def buy = Yesterday_haclose &lt; Yesterday_haopen and haopen &lt; haclose;

def sell = Yesterday_haclose &gt; Yesterday_haopen and haopen &gt; haclose; 



AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_AUTO, buy, tickcolor = Color.GREEN, arrowcolor = Color.GREEN, name = “Buy”);

AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_AUTO, sell, tickcolor = Color.RED, arrowcolor = Color.RED, name = “Sell”);

<strong><em>Scan code:</em></strong>

def haclose = (open + high + low + close) / 4;

def haopen = compoundValue(1, (haopen[1] + haclose[1]) / 2, (open[1] + close[1]) / 2);



def Yesterday_haclose = (open from 1 bar ago + high from 1 bar ago + low from 1 bar ago + close from 1 bar ago) / 4 ;

def Yesterday_haopen = compoundValue(1, (Yesterday_haopen[1] + Yesterday_haclose[1]) / 2, (open[1] + close[1]) / 2);

plot habuy = Yesterday_haopen;

I was wondering if it is possible to find in the scan (and thereby in the watchlist) the first buy signal from the strategy code.

The results I get are very inconsistent.

Appreciate your valuable guidance.

Regards,

Jay
