How to make a screener that screen with intraday criteria?

[patricktu1258]

So I am toying with daytrading strategy and have these 2 questions and I think lots of people also encounter these but probably solved.

Let's say, I want to build a scanner that screens stocks which 21EMA(1 min bar) has ever crossed over intraday VWAP.
All the stocks which 21EMA has crossed over intraday VWAP even for just 1 tick, will be included in the scanner.
Is this doable? How to do it?

Another question is how to count the bar since today's session? What I mean is, I want to create a variable that represents 1 at 9:31, 60 at 10:30, 90 at 11:00, 200 at 12:50 and so on.

Much appreciated.

Sure, just set up your scanner and select your chosen timeframe.

here are 2 ways to create a counting number.

the first (yellow bubbles) displays minutes from the start bar. so if on a 1 minute chart and there are no halts, it will count 0 to 389. but if a different chart time, the numbers will skip.

the second (purple bubbles) method actually counts the bars from the first bar of the day.

# --------------------------------

# minutes from start bar , each day
input start = 0930;

def sec = secondsfromTime(start);
def cnt = (sec/60);

input test1_min = no;
addchartbubble(test1_min and cnt >= 0, low,
cnt
, color.yellow, no);

# --------------------------------


# count bars from start bar , each day
def cnt2 = if sec == 0 then 0
 else cnt2[1] + 1;

input test2_cnt = yes;
addchartbubble(test2_cnt and cnt2 >= 0, low,
cnt2
, color.magenta, no);
