Post From: Help with a chatGPT built study

Hey all

I'm no coder first and foremost, so please bear with me. I wanted a study that assisted in calculating my R:R while taking into account position size and multiple targets. So naturally I used ChatGPT but of course things are never that easy, the coded is obviously not compatible and I'm unable to figure out the remedy. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

#include "sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("Multi-Target R:R (Ticks Compatible Final)")

SCSFExport scsf_MultiTargetRiskRewardTicks(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) {
if (sc.SetDefaults) {
sc.GraphName = "Multi-Target Risk-Reward (Ticks)";
sc.AutoLoop = 0;
return;
}

float TickSize = (float)sc.TickSize;

// ✅ FIXED: Correctly use reference, not pointer
s_SCPositionData PositionData;
sc.GetTradePosition(PositionData);

int PositionSize = (int)PositionData.PositionQuantity;
float EntryPrice = (float)PositionData.AveragePrice;

if (PositionSize == 0 || EntryPrice == 0.0f || TickSize <= 0.0f) {
sc.DeleteACSChartDrawing(sc.ChartNumber, TOOL_DELETE_ALL);
return;
}

float StopPrice = 0.0f;

struct TargetInfo {
float Price;
float Weight;
};

std::vector<TargetInfo> Targets;

for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
s_UseTool Tool;
Tool.Clear();

// ✅ FIXED: correct argument count and types
if (sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing(sc.ChartNumber, i, Tool, 0) == 0)
break;

const char* label = Tool.Text.GetChars();

if (strstr(label, "Stop") || strstr(label, "stop")) {
StopPrice = (float)Tool.BeginValue;
} else if (strstr(label, "Target") || strstr(label, "target")) {
TargetInfo t;
t.Price = (float)Tool.BeginValue;
t.Weight = 100.0f;

const char* colon = strchr(label, ':');
if (colon != NULL) {
t.Weight = (float)atof(colon + 1);
}

Targets.push_back(t);
}
}

if (StopPrice == 0.0f || Targets.empty())
return;

float RiskTicks = fabs(EntryPrice - StopPrice) / TickSize;
if (RiskTicks == 0.0f)
return;

float WeightedRR = 0.0f;
float TotalWeight = 0.0f;

SCString Output;
Output.Format("Entry: %.2f | Stop: %.2f | Risk: %.1f ticks\n", EntryPrice, StopPrice, RiskTicks);

for (size_t i = 0; i < Targets.size(); ++i) {
float RewardTicks = fabs(Targets.Price - EntryPrice) / TickSize;
float RR = RewardTicks / RiskTicks;
float Weight = Targets.Weight / 100.0f;
WeightedRR += RR * Weight;
TotalWeight += Weight;

Output += SCString().Format("Target %.2f (%.0f%%): R:R %.2f (%.1f ticks)\n",
Targets.Price, Targets.Weight, RR, RewardTicks);
}

float AvgRR = (TotalWeight > 0) ? (WeightedRR / TotalWeight) : 0.0f;
Output += SCString().Format("Weighted Avg R:R: %.2f | Pos: %d", AvgRR, PositionSize);

s_UseTool Display;
Display.Clear();
Display.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber;
Display.DrawingType = DRAWING_TEXT;
Display.Text = Output;
Display.FontSize = 12;
Display.Color = RGB(255, 215, 0);
Display.Region = 0;
Display.UseRelativeVerticalValues = 1;
Display.BeginDateTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.ArraySize - 1];
Display.BeginValue = sc.Close[sc.ArraySize - 1] + 4 * TickSize;
Display.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST;
Display.LineNumber = 7777;
sc.UseTool(Display);
