Custom Aggregation in scanner

[qaw]

Does anyone know how to define a custom aggregation period for TOS scanner to work on. Eg, 2 days , 3 weeks or 4 months?

I have been trying to figure this out for a while for scans, studies, and custom quotes. It seems like you can only use the standard given Time Frames, and can only use custom time frames for the chart and add it to favorites.

Unless you can define aggregation period by milliseconds instead of the aggregationperiod.xxxx constants.

For scans and watchlists you are limited to the standard aggregation periods. However for charts, you can define your own aggregation period. As an example some time ago, I added the 195min aggregation to my charts via Settings > Time Axis

So TOS does not support custom aggregation for scanners apart from those available from the dropdown menu. Thanks all for the response. one day

At the top of the TOS window is an Education tab. Answers to that question can be found there. Sorry I can't help further.

Oops didn't finish my sentence... One day maybe it will be possible.

Call customer support and ask them.

I was wondering if there was a way to define other timeframes (not in the dropdown menu) like a 51 minute for instance for custom WL columns

Thank you

I've been looking around but I'm unable to find a solution

Is there any way to set an aggregation period for let's say 2 or 3 weeks?

@Revel While we can't create custom aggregation periods I think a member posted a quasi-workaround within the past couple of weeks but can't remember who... If I recall correctly, it aggregates lower aggregations together come up with a custom period...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there's a way to use the built in tos scanner to scan specific timeframes, specifically 2day candles. I use the 2 day time frame a lot and it would be helpful if I could scan these timeframes. I've attached a picture below for clarification.

The answer is No.

I'm trying to find yearly candlestick patterns

I know you can scan by timeframes which are normally daily is this correct or is there a script that will start off with yearly bars

I'm trying to create a scan that will find 1 red bar and 2 green bars as yearly candles or
multiple yearly green bars

I found my answer in scan, I can pick the aggregation period for the candle patterns I am looking for, answer was staring me straight in the face
