Multi-Symbol Scanner
You are scanning multiple symbols for trading setups or comparing performance.
Power-toolkit shortcuts: for systematic scoring across a set of strategy parameters, prefer strategy_sweep over a hand-rolled loop — it caps combinations, supports resume-from-partial, and uses a short cooldown when only inputs change. Use state_snapshot to preserve the user's start state before scanning, and watchlist_get if the user said "scan my watchlist".
Step 1: Define the Scan
Determine:
- Symbols: Which instruments to scan (user-provided or watchlist via
watchlist_get)
- Timeframe: Which timeframe to analyze
- Criteria: What to look for (indicator values, strategy results, visual patterns)
Step 2: Run the Scan
For Strategy Performance Comparison
Use batch_run with action get_strategy_results:
symbols: ["ES1!", "NQ1!", "YM1!", "RTY1!"]
timeframes: ["15"]
action: "get_strategy_results"
For Screenshot Comparison
Use batch_run with action screenshot:
symbols: ["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOGL", "AMZN"]
timeframes: ["D"]
action: "screenshot"
For Custom Analysis (per-symbol)
Loop through symbols manually:
chart_set_symbol + chart_set_timeframe
chart_manage_indicator — add the study
data_get_ohlcv — pull price data
data_get_indicator — read indicator values
- Analyze and record findings
Step 3: Compile Results
Build a comparison table:
| Symbol | Key Metric 1 | Key Metric 2 | Signal |
|---|
Sort by the most relevant metric.
Step 4: Report
Present findings:
- Ranked list of symbols by the scan criteria
- Highlight the strongest setups
- Note any divergences or anomalies
- Screenshot the top 1-2 charts for visual confirmation
Watchlist Integration
To scan the user's watchlist:
watchlist_get — read all symbols
- Use the symbol list for the scan
watchlist_add — add new finds to the watchlist
