description	Scan multiple symbols for setups, patterns, or strategy performance. Use when comparing across instruments or screening for opportunities.

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:

1. chart_set_symbol + chart_set_timeframe
2. chart_manage_indicator — add the study
3. data_get_ohlcv — pull price data
4. data_get_indicator — read indicator values
5. 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:

1. watchlist_get — read all symbols
2. Use the symbol list for the scan
3. watchlist_add — add new finds to the watchlist
