I think I finally found a good scanning solution for tracking bearish/bullish swings
in Scanning
Hello, all. I've been using Stockcharts for 4-ish years, learning as I went. One thing I tried to do for a while was set up scripts that would tell me when green ADX swung above red ADX, or when there was a bullish Tenkansen/Kijunsen cross in Ichimoku, meaning a likely positive setup. For whatever reason, all my scans would return signals that were 5-10 days old, leading to frustration.
Recently I tried scanning for SAR bullish/bearish dot crosses, and this finally seems to be what I was looking for: an easy to way to track when items in my main chartlist are possibly setting up for a run up.
My scans looks like this is anyone is interested. It basically flags a cross that happened today or yesterday.
// Scenario 1: Cross happened TODAY (between yesterday's close and today's close/current)
[[ChartList is 21] AND
[close < Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2)] and
[yesterday close > yesterday Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2)]]
or
[[ChartList is 21] AND
[yesterday's close < Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2)] and
[2 days ago close > yesterday Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2)]]
