Scanner Overview

Scan & Activity Log

  • The Top section of the Scanner is shows the Filtered List

  • The Bottom shows the Activity Log and alerts you when a ticker enters the scan or leaves it. These moments are Timestamped on the left.

  • You have the option to be alerted on Add or on Remove, or both

  • Tickers can be loaded by clicking anywhere within a Row of the returned Scan List or by clicking on a Row in the Activity Log
    โ€‹!! This works regardless if the Ticker is still present in the Scan above or not !!

  • Be aware that if you change your filter your Activity log will be cleared out and return empty. That is because the Activity log is linked to the filtering it self.


Halts, SSR, News - Notification

  • If a Ticker is on SSR you will see a red "S" next to the Symbol

  • The Number in the News Column indicates the "News-Count" that are released

  • A Ticker Symbol is Halted when the whole row shows RED. When the Ticker is unhalted these Rows go automatically back to normal


Sound & Speech Alert

  • You can define a Sound or Text-to-Speech Alerts for every moment a ticker is added or Removed within the Activity log

  • The Cooldown Time option can be used to avoid getting multiple Alerts for the same ticker in a short period of time

  • List of Sounds


Filter

Filter Settings Overview

  • To adjust the heart of your scan, click on the filter Icon

  • Name your Filter at the top of the window and use the Dotted Handles on the Left to reorder the Filter. This Order is only for your visual convenience and does not effect the scanning Logic

  • Any Existing Filter can be swapped out by clicking on its name. To Add a new filter click on +ADD FILTER at the bottom

  • The Large numbers can be entered via the suffixes:

    • K = One Thousand, M = Million, B = Billion

  • Except the Default Filters with the Lock-Icon, you can freely delete and name Filter settings. All Filters can be duplicated


Time Slicing (OR Groups)

  • With OR Groups you can make use of Time-Slicing. This example filters by the following Logic:

    • IF the Volume between 4am - 9:30am is equal or larger then 500.000 Shares traded then

    • OR IF the Volume between 9:30am - 20:00pm is equal or larger then 1.000.000 Shares traded

    • --> Then Return the Filtered Tickers

  • OR Group with Metrics

    • IF Premarket High% is larger then 30%

    • OR IF Intraday High% is larger then 50%

    • OR IF Afterhour High% is larger then 30%

    • --> Then Return the Filtered Tickers

Compare two Metrics

  • To Compare Metrics against each switch from Value to Metric. This example filters by the Logic:

    • IF "Premarket High" is larger compared to "Yesterdays High of the day"

    • --> Return the Filtered Tickers


Columns

  • To add or remove or even create custom Columns click on the Filter Icon in the Top right

  • You can use predefined Metrics or build your own via Expressions

  • Do Re-order your Columns, simply drag and drop the Dotted Handles

  • To adjust the Column size right click and choose: Fit to data, headers or panel


Exclude (Blacklist) Ticker

  • To Exclude a ticker from a Scanner Component Right-click and choose the Exclude option

  • Be aware that this exclusion is per Component, not App or Filter based!! Meaning the Exclude-list does not travel with the filter. It is locked to a specific component within that Layout

  • Ones a ticker is Added to the Exclude list the colour of the Icon at the top changes from white to purple

  • Clicking on the Icon will list all the Excluded tickers. Clicking on "X" will remove a Ticker Symbol from the Exclude list


Component Linking

  • All Components Types are by default set to "On Change". In this mode a ticker is pushed on selection to all other Components that are also set to "On Change"

  • Any windows that are set to a specific Colour are only updated from components that share the same Colour (Scanner, Watch-list, news, Historic Stats)

  • Exclusively to News is the "NONE" Linking. Which makes sure that the news Component functions as a standalone News-Feed and is never switched to single-symbol


Historic Scanning

Rewind

  • To activate historical Scanning click on the Clock icon

    • a) Select a date

    • b) Click outside of the Calendar within the scan anywhere in the open space

  • After the Date selection, the Scanner will now go back in time and return the scanning results from that day

  • The Historical Mode is displayed via the YELLOW Clock icon and the YELLOW border

    Linking & Update

  • All components with a Clock Icon that is set to "On Change" and in case of Charts that are set to "LINKED DATE" will jump also to the scanners Day in time, and switch to Historical Mode (Cock and Border YELLOW)

Sessions (PM/INTRA/AH)

  • It is important to note that depending of the Filter you will be targeting with your scan in Historical mode a point within the Session (pre-market, Intra, After hours)

  • For Example the Metrics:

    • "PM Chg%" targets the last Value at the end of Pre-market (9:30am), and scans based on that Value

    • PM High%" targets the High of pre-market anyway across pre-Market (4:00am-9:30am)

Expressions

Filters Expression

  • To Create a Filter Expression click on the Filter Icon as usual

  • click + ADD FILTER and navigate to the Expression on the left and Click NEW EXPRESSION +

  • Within the Expression Window you can select various display types for your Output-Format depending on the calculated Math

    • For Example you have also the ability to shorten the Numbers again via K, M, B (Thousand, Million, Billion)

    • You can also choose if the representation is in $, % or as a Multiple (X)

  • To load a Metric for your new expression, type "@" from their just write the Metric you are looking for

  • After selecting your Metric you can use operators and add further Metrics via "@"

  • Hover over the "?"-Icon to see the list of the allowed Operators and Functions

  • Here an Example for:

    • Todays Range %
      โ€‹(Today's Intraday total-range from the Low to the High of the day)

    ( @High - @Low ) / @Low * 100

Columns Expressions

  • Column Expressions work the exact same way as Filter expressions

  • They are Identical and can be used interchangeably

    • Meaning Expressions that you created for Filters can be used on Columns and wise-versa
