Favorite ThinkorSwim Scanners?

[RDMercer]

What is your best results scan?I Personally like SlimRibbons or MACD Crossover. You have one that’s gangbusters? Spill your guts!

As scanners go I like the Laguerre with a hull watch list

 

[BenTen]

I don't use the scanner that much. I like to keep myself grounded with only a few stocks (mostly FANG). But when I scan for things, I look for Engulfing patterns on the daily chart. It's great for potential trend reversal.

 

[MBF]

Same. I tend to stick with high volatility stocks so I can trade OTM and still make a little. ROKU, BYND and when Im feeling off I will trade MU or AMD.

Oops, that's not the whole code. No Problem, I look forward to seeing what you find!

scan adx(5,wilders) crossing above 25
scan DI+(5,wilders) HIGHER THAN DI-(5,wilders) for breakouts
scan DI- higher than DI+ for breakdowns

once you picked ur candidates, see if price has crossed either support or resistance for more probability.
also, you can preselect your stocks that are in a squeeze mode before their move by scanning the fe gamma of the rsilaguerre.
scan fe gamma(10)>=.6.
eventually the fe gamma will go under .6 once the price starts to move in either direction.
please, if u have any addition or tweaks, feel free to comment.

Interesting scan, in a good way! What size stocks do you scan? S&P 500 crossed with Pennywide Option Stocks works well for me.
Feel free to take the Gamma all the way down to 5 for a fast Gamma. No higher than 14 on a daily or weekly chart. Best of luck!

Scanner for the Ichimoku Cloud - I don't follow what rice farmers invented 3-500 years ago, just put it here for interest.

# Scan - Comment out (#) the one you don't want
Ichimoku()."Kijun" crosses above MAX(Ichimoku()."Span A", Ichimoku()."Span B")
# Ichimoku()."Kijun" crosses below Min(Ichimoku()."Span A", Ichimoku()."Span B")

Whoops, this is paired with the Hull watchlist, this momentum indicator

input length = 14;
input calcLength = 5;
input smoothLength = 3;

def o = open;
def c = close;
def data = fold i = 0 to length
           with s
           do s + (if c > getValue(o, i)
                   then 1
                   else if c < getValue(o, i)
                        then - 1
                        else 0);
def EMA5 = ExpAverage(data, calcLength);
def Main = ExpAverage(EMA5, smoothLength);
def Signal = ExpAverage(Main, smoothLength);
plot isTrue = if Main > Signal then 1 else 0;
AssignBackgroundColor(if Main > Signal
                           then color.green
                           else color.red);

Man I don't know about that momentum indicator it never goes above one lol. But I put a 12/26 cross on this morning and its catching shorts where the Hull has not. Maybe the hull will at least confirm the 12/26 at some point. Still looking for a non-existant rainbow I put on a smami laguerre for kicks. I do have a hull/laguerre confirmed bear GLD with laguerre showing -0.56 also F at -97. I think the 12/26 cross is most accurate in finding Bull/Bear tickers.

Iit possible to color code the 12/26 cross and or improve this?

# Billy Bob's Better Gap Indicator for Column alert

declare lower;

def MACD_Calc = expAverage(close, 12)-expAverage(close, 26);

def SIGNAL = average(MACD_Calc, 9);

def OSMAc = MACD_Calc - SIGNAL;

def OSMAh = Highest(OSMAc,52);

def OSMAl = Lowest(OSMAc,52);

plot OSMA = (OSMAc-OSMAl)/(OSMAh-OSMAl)*100;

OSMA.AssignValueColor(Color.WHITE);

AssignBackgroundColor(if OSMA >= 50 then Color.UPTICK else Color.DOWNTICK);

A scan I use pretty much daily. Shows stocks which made a big from the open (> 120% atr) . Helps me analyze setups, sometimes find new ones

@BenTen please delete if it's a duplicate:

# Premarket Gap-Up Scan

def MarketClosePrice = if getTime() crosses RegularTradingEnd(getYYYYMMDD())
                       then close
                       else MarketClosePrice[1];

plot PreMarketScan = getTime() < RegularTradingStart(getYYYYMMDD()) and
close(priceType = "LAST") > MarketClosePrice * 1.01;
# End Scan Code

From TSL 9-23-19 I don't use this.

@cherif What is the squeeZe scan you use?

 

[tomsk]

Here is a generic Squeeze scan

BollingerBands()."UpperBand" is less than KeltnerChannels()."Upper_Band"

 

[2sureshk]

Great do you see this Up side squeeze?

 

[cherif]

What is the squeeZe scan you use?

I used to use the bollinger/keltner channel squeeze but i realized it kicks in way behind price movement and more than likely you are missing the move. Then i started to use the laguerre with fractal energy to indicate whipsaw/sideways phases. The rule is as long as fe>0.6, then sideways move and as soon as fe<0.6 and going lower, the move is vertical either way until it cools off around fe<.3. That’s how i determine squeeze v. Move

 

[at13]

could someone please help me with code for bollinger band with Keltner channel squeeze scanner script which I can scan for trades and add to watchlist.? I am new to thinkscript .. thanks in advance

 

[Ictheeuss]

This is a question about scanners. I often find myself wasting time looking for a good stocks to trade either intraday or swing. I literally spend hours and hours every night looking at charts for the right setup, but still end up trading the wrong ones. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good scanner setup that I can run to narrow my search? It can be for either intraday or swing trade. I have like 20 scans loaded on my mobile tos (anything from candle formation to rsi ob/os), but it's to hard to scan and check them all before the trade is gone. Any help would be great appreciated.

 

[BenTen]

@Ictheeuss I have my own custom watchlist with mostly large-cap stocks in the tech sector, so I don't use the scanner that often. But when I do, I use our Buy the Dip scanner.

A few more suggestions:
