Filter stocks using 1st/2nd.. or any candle in our scanner

We’ve added the ability to access any candle of the latest trading day or previous days for Intraday timeframes. Useful for scans that require to access indicator values at a given point in time.

Example offset’s to access different candles for a trading day (5 minute chart)

  • [0] 5 minute close -> refers to the latest 5 minute candle
  • [=1] 5 minute close -> refers to the days’ first 5 minute candle
  • [=3] 5 minute close -> refers to the days’ third 5 minute candle
  • [=-1] 5 minute close -> refers to the previous day’s last 5 minute candle
  • [=-75] 5 minute close -> refers to the previous day’s first 5 minute candle, considering a single day has 75, 5 minute candles

If you want to access the first candle on a 5 minute timeframe(9:15-9:19:59am), you can select your required indicator/stock attribute and then change the offset to `=1` as indicated below:

Crossover Support

Days candles also support crossover/below operations. For example, to identify a crossover at the opening candle, we can do “[0] 5 minute Close Crossed above [=1] 5 minute SuperTrend(7,3)”

      1. ( {57960} ( [0] 15 minute close > [-1] 15 minute max ( 20 , [0] 15 minute close ) and [0] 15 minute volume > [0] 15 minute sma ( volume,20 ) ) )
        in this 15min breakout why are using present candle in max function and previous candle before that

        thank you

  1. This is very good. Please also add functionality to select a range like if I want if any condition happened during whole day so I can give day’s first bar to last bar in the scan.

      1. Mr. Akash,

        Would you please tell how to scan the criteria like below:
        “When closing value of candle goes below the crossing value of either previous 2 or 3 or 4 or candle but simultaneously RSI(14) value goes above the value of that specific candle”

        For example, in 30 min time frame 4th candle of the day closes below the value of 1st candle stick close value. Simultaneously RSI value of 4th candle would be more than that of 1st candle RSI value.
        It is just detection of divergence in RSI for any time frames. Please let me know how to scan such criteria please

  21. Sir I am facing difficulties in coding days 1st 5 mins candle breakout as following:
    Range of today’s 1st 5 mins candle is greater than last 5 Days 1st 5 mins candle. Could you please guide me

      1. I am a premium customer. I have some queries.
        1. Suppose i have a scanner which is returning 2 stocks for 10th April based on first and second 5 minute candles of a day but when i see backtest results , it shows those 2 stocks @3:25 PM time and some other stocks @different time in a day.
        So my question is if my scanner is based on first and second candles why does it show other stocks in backtest results.Please explain. I think backtest is not working properly.

        2.Can you create dedicated scanner for me which filters stocks based on any 5 min candle not any specific time candle means i will not provide any specific no candle like first , second .

  22. Hope this helps on back-testing:
    https://chartink.com/articles/?s=back

    It will show the previous days/ minutes results for your scan without the need for you to modify the scan. Back-testing will not give alerts. It is only to analyze/ view stocks previously triggered by your scans.  If you click on any of the bars on the graph, it will show the list of stocks that triggered as per the scan previously. 

    Back-test data will show data for the lowest candle time frame in your scan. If lowest time frame is 1 minute, it will show results for last 1 minutes. If its on daily candle it will show data for past 6 months. We show results for the past 150 bars  in our backtest section, these 150 candles could be of any timeframe, depending on the lowest timeframe in your scan, so for 5 minutes for example, you would get 2 days, for 1 minute, half a day and so on. 

    Please share your scan requirements on [email protected] and we shall create the scan for you.

  23. Hi:
    Can you pl clarify – during mkt hrs – latest close means – whether it denotes previous days close or the price at that minute when scan is done?

    Secondly, during holiday – say Sunday – latest close means – friday close and one day ago means thursday close – right?

  24. Hello ,
    After creating a scanner using the above filter( daily 1st , 2nd candle, etc) backtesting result will not be accurate.
    For Example,
    If i want to scan stocks which breaks high of 1st candle(Hourly). then backtest data will not show the statistics of previous days correct report.

    1. Hope this helps on back-testing:
      https://chartink.com/articles/?s=back

      It will show the previous days/ minutes results for your scan without the need for you to modify the scan. Back-testing will not give alerts. It is only to analyze/ view stocks previously triggered by your scans.  If you click on any of the bars on the graph, it will show the list of stocks that triggered as per the scan previously.

      If you have the alert frequency of 5 minutes on a 1 hour candle scan, the alert results will update every 5 minutes and so will the backtest results(if you open the site and view the graph every 5 minutes), the difference is that the alert keeps a history of all your stocks triggered every 5 minutes i.e at 9:20am, 9:25am and so on via the alert history page,, whereas the backtest graph doesn’t keep any history as such, it will show the results only as of the candle completion time i.e 10:15am. so its not necessary that the backtest will show all the stocks that were triggered every 5 minutes as your alert show’s.

      Alerts is a premium feature that would allow you to do this, it keeps a track of all your stocks that met the condition every 5 minutes so that you don’t need to keep a track of them manually in the scanner page or the backtesting graph. The backtest is a dynamic graph that would update/change as your 1 hour candle is changing.
