Scan stocks on the short side

[type = stock] and [country = us] and[daily ema(60,daily volume) > 300000] and
[daily low > yesterday's daily low] and
[yesterday's daily low > 2 days ago daily low] and
[SMA(10, close) < EMA(30, close)]and
[daily close > daily SMA(10,daily close)]and
[daily close < daily EMA(30,daily close)]and
[weekly sma(10,weekly close) < weekly ema(30,weekly close)]and
[ADX Line(10) > 20.0]and
[close >= 10]

Scan stocks on the Long side

[type = stock] and [country = us] and[daily ema(60,daily volume) > 300000] and
[daily high < yesterday's daily high] and
[yesterday's daily high < 2 days ago daily high] and
[sma(10, close) > ema(30, close)]and
[daily close > daily ema(30,daily close)]and
[daily close < daily sma(10,daily close)]and
[daily close > daily sma(200,daily close)]and
[weekly sma(10,weekly close) > weekly ema(30,weekly close)]and
[ADX Line(10) > 20.0]and
[close >= 5]

here's how I would do this... for example your SHORT scan would look like this

Code

def Vol = if ExpAverage (volume, 60 ) > 300000 then 1 else 0;
def daily = if low > low[1] and low[1] > low [2] then 1 else 0 ;
def SMA10vsEMA30 = if Average(close, 10) < ExpAverage(close, 30) then 1 else 0;
def ClosevsSMA10 = if close > Average(close, 10)  then 1 else 0;
def ClosevsEMA30 = if close < ExpAverage(close, 30)  then 1 else 0;
def wkSMA10vswkEMA30 = if Average(close(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK), 10) < ExpAverage(close(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK), 30) then 1 else 0;def ADX = if DMI(10).ADX > 20 then 1 else 0;
def Price = if close >= 10 then 1 else 0;

Plot Short = Vol * (Daily + SMA10vsEMA30 + ClosevsSMA10 + ClosevsEMA30 + WkSMA10vswkEMA30 + ADX + Price);

I didn't test this as a scan, only as a normal study .. and AFAIK, TOS scans don't allow calling a secondary aggregation, so although the bold line would work in a plot study, it may/should not work in a scan.. so it may need to be separated in a different scan "column"

the successful short candidates will show max score in the scan (in this case a 7), the non-candidates will have lower values, including a 0 if they fail the volume condition .. but that last "plot" line can be changed to show only these ones with a full score and ignore all others, with an IF statement (if the sum is 7 show a "SHORT!" otherwise a blank.

the Long scan would be similar after changing the logical operators ">" and "<"

an interesting exercise

thanks for sharing, and hope this helps,

I know how to insert the scans into TOS platform,
I,m just not savvy enough to know how to create the thinkscripts.

The filter scan i'm looking for are.

#1 50 sma must be angling or moving up

--
#2 slow stochastic with sma % D period 3 crosses oversold 15

#3 momentum lenght 9,price close, turning up and crossing -5

#4 MACD with sma,fast lenght 5,slow lenght 15,macd lenght 20 and crossing above -2.00

Thanks in advance
