Setup Screener.

A free, open source Strat scanner built on TradingView's own Pine Screener. TradingView runs the scan; the Setup Screener supplies the Strat: candle types, signals and timeframe continuity for every symbol in a watchlist or an index.

What it screens

Candles, signals and continuity.

The scanner reads the timeframe you pick: a 1D scan reads the daily candles, a 1W scan the weekly. Six timeframe slots add the higher-timeframe picture.

Candles by name

C2, C1 and the current candle as inside, 2U, 2D or outside. A 2U that closed red, a 2D that closed green. Hammers and shooters on C1 and on the current candle, and failing 2s in either direction.

Signals

Whether a signal is in force, bullish or bearish, or still a potential waiting on its trigger. The combo as a number you can filter on, such as 212 or 22. The largest timeframe with a signal in force, with its distance to the magnitude target.

Filters

Two kinds of filter.

Named filters are on or off. Number columns take a comparison and a value, which is how you pick a direction: State = 2 keeps bullish signals in force, State = -2 bearish.

How a scan works

Five steps, then it's one click.

Pine Screener remembers the indicator and the symbol list, so after the first scan you only change filters and press Scan. To check a result, open it on a chart: the match card lists the filters it matches.

  1. Open Pine Screener. Products, then Screeners, then Pine.
  2. Choose the symbols. An index such as the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Dow 30 or Russell 2000, or one of your watchlists.
  3. Add TheStrat Setup Screener from the Indicators dialog.
  4. Pick the timeframe. 1D screens the daily candles, 1W the weekly.
  5. Set filters and press Scan. Change anything and scan again.
