Network issues for Jio/Vodafone users

We are seeing issues  while reaching our site on jio/vodafone internet connection, we have reached out to these providers to help resolve this issue as it relates to a network server issue.

We have already raised a ticket with our network provider & they are seeing this issue with other sites as well, including sbicards.com, opera.com and so on.. this issue is something not within our control as it depends on other upstream network providers.

Their team is still investigating on the root cause for the same, may I suggest you to use:

  1. A different network connection, if possible.
  2. Use a proxy site or use opera as it comes with free VPN

We are in constant touch with our provider and shall let you konw as soon as we hear back from them, until then, please use the above methods to visit our site

Aug 18th’20: 12:30pm -> The issue is now solved across all providers, we have also taken necessary steps to avoid this in future, including migrating to a different network provider, if necessary.

Alerts for scans on Telegram/Slack using ifttt.com

Webhooks can now be used to send our alerts over telegram/slack channels, the below 2 video guides you thru the process for Telegram. The process for Slack too would remain the same.

  • Video 1 takes you thru the process of creating a service on https://ifttt.com that listen’s to webhook hook events and then sends a messsage to telgram. Note, you’ll need to connect your telegram channel and follow the steps mentioned over the telegram channel while you are setting this up(you can do so on the mobile since you already might be having the telegram app installed and might be faster to perform this step on the mobile)
  • Video 2 takes you thru the process to test the webhook & note if the telegram is being triggered. At the end of the 1st video, you’ll notice I click on the “Documentation” on the top right croner, that’s the page that would provide us the detail for the webhook url to test against & is used in the 2nd video.

This should be a good starting point for using ifttt.com for other services as well(including slack, telegram), please let us know if you get stuck anywhere

Webhook support for Alerts

We’ve added the ability to add webhook’s for your alerts. A webhook is an HTTP call-back triggered by a specific event(in our case a alert), these can be used by your own application to monitor, place automatic orders.. etc. You can add webhooks for any given alerts by entering the URL for your web address(prefixed by http, https), this can be done by clicking on “Create/Modify Alert” right below your scans:

SAMPLE Post Data(json)
{
    "stocks": "SEPOWER,ASTEC,EDUCOMP,KSERASERA,IOLCP,GUJAPOLLO,EMCO",
    "trigger_prices": "3.75,541.8,2.1,0.2,329.6,166.8,1.25",
    "triggered_at": "2:34 pm",
    "scan_name": "Short term breakouts",
    "scan_url": "short-term-breakouts",
    "alert_name": "Alert for Short term breakouts",
    "webhook_url": "http://your-web-hook-url.com"
}

Webhooks will triggered along side your alert settings, eg: sending alerts over Email/SmS/Desktop would continue as normal

Note on automating trades with webhooks, requires some programming logic so that you can incoporate our webhooks within your application which is alreadying using API’s from the stockbrokers to place orders. Your system/application must be deployed on the internet and reachable by a domain or a IP address, this requires your application to support the ability to receive incoming POST request‘s so that we can send our JSON data for the alert

Change colors for table columns, line, bar and Pie charts

We’ve released support to change/customize colors for widgets, including table colors for table columns, line, bar and pie charts. Below is a demo showing the process to change colors:

Customizing colors as per your needs would help you easliy identify the levels/columns that interest you first. Color changes can be made to Tables as well any types of Chart(pie/line/bar/area).

 

Now create your own Custom Indicators !

We’ve recently added the ability to create your own custom/derived indicators using existing indicators.

For example, you may have your logic of HLC3 as is “high  + low + close / 3” & would want to use this across multiple filters in different/same scans/widgets. Until now, you’d need to copy/write the logic whereever it would required.

With “custom indicators”, you can simply define its logic as:

HLC = ( current candle high + current candle low + current candle close ) / 3

Here’s the custom indicator for the above logic: https://chartink.com/indicator/hlc3

The above created indicator can then be used to create new scans/widgets: https://chartink.com/screener/close-above-hlc3 (notice the HLC indicator selection)

These are similar to having a value saved in a variable/temp working space and then using it across in multiple scans. Note, while using it across scans, you can select the timeframe for its calcuation, eg: Daily/Weekly/Monthly or Intraday candles giving you further flexibility.

To access a previous candle for a given timeframe, you can select “1/2.. candles ago”.

Below is another example from one of our users:

      Countstreak eg: -> Filter “Latest countstreak( 20, 1 where latest close > latest sma ( latest close , 200 ) )greater than equal to 10” will return all stocks that have continesouly(in a streak) closed above its 200 SMA for the past 10 or more candles(daily timeframe)

    5. Least & Greatest functions -> Helps to get the greatest or the least of a given set of filters
      eg: greatest( Latest Open, Latest Close ) will return the greatest value from either the open or the close
