How could a person transform this study into a scan?

The first line of this code says that it is a strategy only. How could a person transform this into a study so that scans could be run? I've tried to open this code in the Scanner, but I can't find the indicator existing as a study.

Thanks for any help,

To scan this script:
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/ut-bot-for-thinkorswim.12640/#post-116615
Change these lines of code from:

def buy = src > xATRTrailingStop and above ;
def sell = src < xATRTrailingStop and below;

to this:

plot buy = src > xATRTrailingStop and above ;
plot sell = src < xATRTrailingStop and below;

And then set up your scan, following this tutorial:

The condition will be:

buy is true

I have one more question, and I will try to be much more careful with the explanation this time.

Your instructions above to scan for a recent buy signal are spot on.

Let's say I wanted to scan for symbols that didn't crossover on the most recent data point, but instead I wanted to find symbols that were currently under a buy condition - no matter when they crossed over. For example this screenshot has been green (under a UTBOT buy condition) for the past 10 days or so. I just want capture it as being under a "Buy" condition.

I want to use this to combine some timeframes. Find crossovers on short timeframes that have acually been under a buy condition for the past several days.

Thank you for your willingness to teach.

To scan for stocks that have a bullish trend (green candles)
Change this line of code from:

def barbuy = src > xATRTrailingStop ;

to:

plot barbuy = src > xATRTrailingStop ;

Follow the instructions in the scanner tutorial:
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/how-to-use-thinkorswim-stock-hacker-scans.284/

And set the condition to:

barbuy is true
