Don't use the high and low arrows. Those are from the original study but essentially plot perfect highs and lows using future data. Not useful in realtime.Which plot indicator is the high and low arrows?

I'm trying to figure out a workaround on the scan. Somehow I added something that made it too complex. Working on it.@YungTraderFromMontana Regarding this new version which scan should we go for ?
can u share your experience.@yungtrader, the last two days I have had 100% winners. Greatly appreciate your hard work and insight. Will update in 3 weeks to see if trend continues. I know 100% is unrealistic, goal is 80%
Another updated version coming by tomorrow.
thanks for the reply. Ill be around hereI'm trying to figure out a workaround on the scan. Somehow I added something that made it too complex. Working on it.
Besides the scan that YungTrader provided (I only by on the up arrow) using a daily scan but the 5-minute chart for entries. I use a DMI filter, Adx Filter, and stock must be above the cloud. This limits the number of stocks that are returned from the scan but for the small account that I have, I am trying to hedge my bets.can u share your experience?
Would you be able to share your workspace? Really interested in your setup.Besides the scan that YungTrader provided (I only by on the up arrow) using a daily scan but the 5-minute chart for entries. I use a DMI filter, Adx Filter, and stock must be above the cloud. This limits the number of stocks that are returned from the scan but for the small account that I have, I am trying to hedge my bets.

this Q mentioned on here before if you wanna go through pagesThe scan is much appreciated - how would one tweak the scan to be able to look on other time frames?
It depends on the timeframe but a stock can be scanned for at any time. Just remember that the signal isn't locked in until the bar closes so@YungTraderFromMontana Thanks!
When do you ideally run this scan? PreMarket? Throughout the day or end of day for next day position?
For some reason, when I add this latest study to my chart, it distorts and shrinks down the candlesticks...I'm not sure what's causing it? Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.
UPDATE: I figured out why it was shrinking. In my chart settings, under price axis, I just needed to uncheck everything under Scale.
Sorry - I went through the threads and could not figure out how to scan for hourly etc. I seethis Q mentioned on here before if you wanna go through pages
putting "1 hour" should work.Sorry - I went through the threads and could not figure out how to scan for hourly etc. I see
input TimeFrame2 = ;
input TimeFrame3 = ;
in the source code but changing to hours gives an error "secondary period not allowed"
If you could please explain (it's probably very simple) or point me to the post, I'd appreciate it. It's not laziness, it's just genuinely not seeing the answer. Thank you.
Besides the scan that YungTrader provided (I only by on the up arrow) using a daily scan but the 5-minute chart for entries. I use a DMI filter, Adx Filter, and stock must be above the cloud. This limits the number of stocks that are returned from the scan but for the small account that I have, I am trying to hedge my bets.

1d - 2d is more along the lines of swing trading approach, instead of intraday trading?If you're trading 1d - 2d keep them.
