I think you would want to find the weakest sectors in a separate scan. First you would have to have some measure of weakness, maybe per cent change over three months. Then you would need a list that includes all the sector SPDR ETFs, or other kind of sector indexes. Your scan to find the weakest sectors would be a simple…

As far as I know, so far at least, you can't scan for relative price, e.g. IBM:$SPX, so you can't scan for any function that includes relative price as a parameter, either If you could, it might look like this and [ema(5, IBM:$SPX) > 5 days ago ema(5,IBM:$SPX) There is a PctRelative function which finds "the difference…

Since you are comparing consecutive weeks (in the first scan), have you tried the PctChange() function? Also, for PctDiff(), the documentation doesn't explain which term is the divisor. In your case, you want it to be the second, as you have written it. What happens if you reverse the order?

Ive created a simple to show me stock that have been in a downtrend for a year, after which point there is a pop up in price, i.e. a reversal...my hope being to find something which is truly reversing and might sustain that reversal. But due to my poor coding skills what I have written is a search showing stocks that have…

Ok, so after playing around some more I decided to separate the up day and down day and found that they were pulling up a few more stocks separated than they were together. So now I'll need to figure out why. So now I have an upday that looks like this: [type = stock] and [exchange is NYSE] or [exchange is NASDAQ] or…

At the top of the scan workbench is a calendar. Click on the zero box in the line that says "starting 0 trading days ago". and select Jan 2 2020 on the calendar. This will then display the number of days from Jan 2 2020 in that window. In your workbench select PctChange and use that days number in the filter and…

You may want to look at weekly or monthly data to accomplish this. You can do it with daily data but you would need to put a 'test' for the condition in for each day. You'd also need to determine whether to use highs or lows or closes. and close >= sma50 * 0.95 and close <= sma50 * 1.05 and 1 days ago close >= 1 days ago…

Last line of the scan Rank by [Fill in your criteria] In your case Rank by [PctChange(200,close)] is one option If you wanted to have the 3 day ATR info, then Rank by [ATR(3)] You can also add modifiers like "weekly" or "monthly". Rank By is a great way to pull other info into the output file.

I have a chartlist with 18 index sector symbols......all symbols starting with $. I get scan results (with all 18 symbols listed) with these 2 scan lines [type = index] and [favorites list is 113] But when I add any rank by staement.....check syntax is OK......but I get zero scan results.........what is the issue with rank…

This should work: [group is SP500] rank by [PctChange(20,close)] The "20" is 20 tradings days, which is 4 weeks (without holidays), which is about a month. The actual number of trading days in a calendar month varies between (I think) 19 and 22. You could use 21 as an average. Then three months would be 63 days, and so on.

These scans seem to work properly: RANK BY [PctChange(1,close)] DESCENDING RANK BY [MACD HIST(12,26,9)] ascending RANK BY [SCTR] descending These scans do not seem to return the results ranked by these indications: RANK BY [PMO(35,20,10)] DESCENDING RANK BY [PPO(12,26,9)] DESCENDING Everything else in the scan remains the…

I don't know what you are looking at in regards to your question, but if someone said to me "today 10%+" I would take it to mean a move of 10% or more today. If you are looking for a price change, or any change, of 10% or more, you could use the PctChange function in the Technical Indicators dropdown.…

There seem to be two ways to do it with the rank by statement- using the PctChange( ) function, or, by simple subtraction. The subtraction method sprouts an error from the advanced editor, but check syntax says its ok and it runs with what seem like valid results (although I didn't check). The actual figures show up on the…

I think that's a reported bug. There was a similar question on s.c.a.n. earlier, but I can't find it. You could check with Support (include scan). What would happen if you ran the scan after the Friday close in the daily time frame, e.g. PctChange(15, close) ? If there were a holiday in the three week period, the parameter…

I just noticed there is an error in one of my answers above: " Unfortunately, you can't pick functions from the the drop downs, so you just have to know them. " That is incorrect. You can find max, min, absval, PctDiff, PctChange, sma, ema and kama under the "Technical Indicators" drop down. They make up the first grouping…

Unfortunately, you cannot scan for the RS line. You can work around it though by including $SPX as a symbol in your chart list, then run a scan on the list with with your conditions (e.g. close > sma(50,close) and then a rank by statement like rank by PctChange(50, close) Symbols doing better than the $SPX (up more or down…

You can't get it right because the scan engine won't do it. It is not coded to deal with ratio symbols (like ABC:DEF). The code you quoted never worked. As a rule of thumb, if you can't add the scan terms you want from the drop downs below scan writing window, the scan engine can't deal with it. I'm a long time subscriber.…

Not sure what you are getting at with Daily Closing Range (%) >=75% 75% of what? For Price % change, you could try the PctChange( ) function: https://support.stockcharts.com/doku.php?id=scans:advanced_scan_syntax:pctchange_scans For % off high, check out this link for near crosses:…

//Stock scan - Rank by last X days X= 6,22, etc. For some unknown reason, volume >150000 does not work very well, tried many things [country is us] and [type=stock] and [Daily SMA(10,Daily Close) > 2] AND [Daily SMA(10,Daily close)<=12] and [Daily EMA(30,Daily Volume) > 150000] rank by [pctchange(22, CLOSE)] //end of scan…

Then select your performance criteria from the workbench dropdowns. Modify the criteria as you deem fit and then review the results. There are many performance indicators…
