Ricky, when should we run the scans?
 
I love this strategy but the point is when market open we could get long list of all the stocks their EMA5 crosses above or greater then EMA13 but most of these stocks in that list wouldn't act as AFRM in your video so my question how to make a scan will show those stocks will only act like the example in your video . everyday there are definitely some stocks trending up in the first 5 to 6 minutes right after the market open for 1$ or even more but how to find them with the consider that the scan result of thinkorswim always late after the party was over

One of the things I do is wait till at least 10:00AM before trading. That way a lot of the buy and sell orders that were placed overnight, and early morning have filtered through.

I mention this in the video that I did in fact find a stock that would perform as needed for the purpose of the video. I did mention I would create scans to find the crossover of the moving averages and I did. It is impossible to scan for stocks and predict they will perform as AFRM did in the video. If that were possible we would all be billionaires. This is why I also mention that your job would be to watch for stocks in the scans where the moving averages are pointing north, which has not yet happened in the scan. The scans will post at the moment of the crossover, but you need to monitor price movement from that point forward.

Thanks for sharing. Do you use another indicator to confirm your EMA cross? For example, some of these 9/1/23 /NQ crosses would have been fake-outs. Trying to determine the best cross to pull a trigger on either buy or sell.
