WHAT IT DOES

Core Features

A 9-ticker, 5-indicator grid scanner that gives you a real-time heatmap of sector momentum across any combination of stocks, crypto, futures or forex.

9-Ticker, 5-Indicator Grid

The scanner displays a grid of 9 customizable tickers, each showing the current values of 5 indicators. The indicators and their bullish/bearish logic are: Momentum (above zero = bullish), RSI (above 50 = bullish), MFI (above 50 = bullish), DMI (DI+ minus DI- positive = bullish) and MACD (signal line crossover = bullish). All default to standard TradingView settings. Typically 14 for length, MACD at 12/26/9.

Color-Coded Grid

Each indicator cell turns green when bullish, red when bearish and blue when neutral. When all 5 indicators for a single ticker agree, that ticker’s name background turns green (all bullish) or red (all bearish). When indicators are mixed, the ticker background turns blue. This gives you an instant visual read on sector-wide momentum without having to analyze any individual chart.

Alerts

You can set alerts for when the entire grid is all bullish or all bearish, and for when individual tickers show all bullish or all bearish signals across all 5 indicators. This lets you know the moment a sector or market aligns without having to watch the chart.

Full Customization

You can customize which tickers are scanned (stocks, crypto, futures, forex), the source of each indicator, the length of the indicator settings, smoothing parameters and the table position on the chart.

INTERPRETATION GUIDE

How to Use the Scanner

Reading the Grid

Sector Layout Strategy

Set up separate chart layouts in TradingView for each sector you trade. The top 9 stocks in the S&P 500, the top 9 in the XLF, the top 9 cryptos by market cap, etc. When the entire grid for a sector turns green or red, it’s a strong sign of sector-wide momentum and trades in that direction carry higher probability. When the grid is mixed, expect choppy price action and wait for alignment before entering.

Managing Positions

You can also use the grid to manage open positions. If the entire grid is still green or red in the direction of your trade, you can expect price to continue. As conflicting colors start to appear, the market is becoming indecisive, that’s a good time to tighten stops or exit.

GOOD TO KNOW

Important Notes & Limitations

MFI requires volume data. Tickers without reported volume will not display an accurate MFI reading.
The scanner pulls data from other tickers using the same timeframe as your current chart. Changing your chart timeframe will change all scanner values.
Be cautious when the grid is mixed in color. This shows market indecision and often leads to choppy price action. Wait for the grid to align before entering.
