Scalper Alert scan in TOS

Code / script to use in the stock hacker in ThinkOrSwim to scan for The TTM Scalper Alert.

Written by Sara Jones

Scan script

See below script that can be used to make a custom scan filter in the TOS Stock or Options Hacker.

TTM_ScalperAlert("min swing" = 0.1)."PivotHigh" is true within 5 bars

alternatively

TTM_ScalperAlert("min swing" = 0.1)."PivotLow" is true within 5 bars

Use at least 5 bars because the study is looking for a confirmation bar for the trigger bar, ie. delayed signal.
