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

I've noticed that this script is a repaint- keeps changing arrow color before candle close

That's not repainting. Repainting is when it will give a signal after the candle closes and then the signal goes away after subsequent candles. The signal changing while the candle continues to develop is normal and is working properly. Wait for candle close for definitive confirmation.
