Is anyone familiar with "GandalProjectSystem" listed in Thinkorswim strategy. If you are , can you tell me your opinion and is there a way to modify and buy only when close is > than a long term MA, 50, 0r 100, or 200 day ma.? I am interested in backtesting but i dont know hoe to script it.
If you can modify can you help me with the script?
Thanl You

Here you go. I suggest you study this vs the original to start to see how to modify existing code to do what you want.

Code

input exitLength = 8;
input exitGainLength = 6;
input len = 50;
input avgtype = averageType.SIMPLE;
def averagePrice = ohlc4;
def medianPrice = hl2;
def medianBodyPrice = MidBodyVal();
def ma = movingAverage(avgtype,close, len);

def entryGandaldfPattern = (averagePrice[1] < medianPrice[1] and
    medianPrice[2] <= averagePrice[1] and
    medianBodyPrice[2] <= averagePrice[3]) or
    (averagePrice[1] < medianPrice[3] and
    medianBodyPrice < medianPrice[2] and
    medianBodyPrice[1] < medianBodyPrice[2]) and close > ma;

def exitGandalfPattern = (averagePrice[1] < medianBodyPrice[1] and
    medianPrice[2] == medianBodyPrice[3] and
    medianBodyPrice[1] <= medianBodyPrice[4]) or
    (averagePrice[2] < medianBodyPrice and
    medianPrice[4] <= averagePrice[3] and
    medianBodyPrice[1] <= averagePrice[1]);

def entryPrice = EntryPrice();
def priceChangeSinceEntry = close - entryPrice;
def afterEntryCount = if IsNaN(entryPrice[1]) and !IsNaN(entryPrice) then 1 else if !IsNaN(entryPrice) then afterEntryCount[1] + 1 else Double.NaN;

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, entryGandaldfPattern, tickcolor = GetColor(1), arrowcolor = GetColor(1), name = "GandalfLE");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, afterEntryCount > exitLength, tickcolor = GetColor(2), arrowcolor = GetColor(2), name = "GandalfTimeLX"); # check name
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, exitGandalfPattern and priceChangeSinceEntry < 0, tickcolor = GetColor(3), arrowcolor = GetColor(3), name = "GandalfLX");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, afterEntryCount > exitGainLength and priceChangeSinceEntry > 0, tickcolor = GetColor(4), arrowcolor = GetColor(4), name = "GandalfTimeGainLX");

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP
I am trying to find the lowest low of the last 7 days. The script below works fine (partially) but is there a shorter way to script line two. Also line 3 looks for lowest low greater than low[7] by .009%. I reality i am looking for todays low which is higher or lower than low[7] by .009%. I know very little about TOS script language. The script below is part of a strategy written for me by a freelance programmer and i am trying to correct several issues and maybe utilize it and use as a scanner . Thank you in advance for your answer to the three above questions.

def dbbtsx_c1 = close > open ;
def dbbtsx_c2 = low < low[1] and low < low[2] and low < low[3] and low < low[4] and low < low[5] and low < low[6] and low[6] > low[7] and low[7] < low[8] ;
def dbbtsx_c3 = (low ) < .009 * low[7] + low[7];
def dbbtsx_c5 = low > low[7];
def dbbtsx_c6 = low [6] > low[7];
def dbbtsx = dbbtsx_c1 and dbbtsx_c2 and dbbtsx_c3 and dbbtsx_c5;
#plot sling_p = sling and ShowSling;
#sling_p.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
AddChartBubble(ShowBubble and dbbtsx and mc and Showdbbtsx, high, "dbbtsx", Color.YELLOW);
