Crypto Scanner v4

This guide explains a version 6 Pine Script that scans a user-provided list of cryptocurrency tokens to identify high probability tradable opportunities using several technical indicators. The script combines trend, momentum, and volume-based analyses to generate potential buying or selling signals, and it displays the results in a neatly formatted table with alerts for trading setups. Below is a detailed walkthrough of the script’s design, how traders can interpret its outputs, and recommendations for optimizing indicator inputs across different timeframes.

## Overview and Key Components

The script is designed to help traders assess multiple tokens by calculating several indicators for each one. The key components include:

- **Input Settings:**
- A comma-separated list of symbols to scan.
- Adjustable parameters for technical indicators such as ADX, RSI, MFI, and a custom Wave Trend indicator.
- Options to enable alerts and set update frequencies.

- **Indicator Calculations:**
- **ADX (Average Directional Index):** Measures trend strength. A value above the provided threshold indicates a strong trend, which is essential for validating momentum before entering a trade.
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index):** Helps determine overbought or oversold conditions. When the RSI is below the oversold level, it may present a buying opportunity, while an overbought condition (not explicitly part of this setup) could suggest selling.
- **MFI (Money Flow Index):** Similar in concept to RSI but incorporates volume, thus assessing buying and selling pressure. Values below the designated oversold threshold indicate potential undervaluation.
- **Wave Trend:** A custom indicator that calculates two components (WT1 and WT2); a crossover where WT1 moves from below to above WT2 (particularly near oversold levels) may signal a reversal and a potential entry point.

- **Scanning and Trading Zone:**
- The script identifies a *bullish setup* when the following conditions are met for a token:
- ADX exceeds the threshold (strong trend).
- Both RSI and MFI are below their oversold levels (indicating potential buying opportunities).
- A Wave Trend crossover confirms near-term reversal dynamics.
- A *trading zone* condition is also defined by specific ranges for ADX, RSI, MFI, and a limited difference between WT1 and WT2. This zone suggests that the token might be in a consolidation phase where even small moves may be significant.

- **Alerts and Table Reporting:**
- A table is generated, with each row corresponding to a token. The table contains columns for the symbol, ADX, RSI, MFI, WT1, WT2, and the trading zone status.
- Visual cues—such as different background colors—highlight tokens with a bullish setup or that are within the trading zone.
- Alerts are issued based on the detection of a bullish setup or entry into a trading zone. These alerts are limited per bar to avoid flooding the trader with notifications.

## How to Interpret the Indicator Outputs

Traders should use the indicator values as guidance, verifying them against their own analysis before making any trading decision. Here’s how to assess each output:

- **ADX:**
- **High values (above threshold):** Indicate strong trends. If other indicators confirm an oversold condition, a trader may consider a long position for a corrective reversal.
- **Low values:** Suggest that the market is not trending strongly, and caution should be taken when considering entry.

- **RSI and MFI:**
- **Below oversold levels:** These conditions are traditionally seen as signals that an asset is undervalued, potentially triggering a bounce.
- **Above typical resistance levels (not explicitly used here):** Would normally caution a trader against entering a long position.

- **Wave Trend (WT1 and WT2):**
- A crossover where WT1 moves upward above WT2 in an oversold environment can signal the beginning of a recovery or reversal, thereby reinforcing buy signals.

- **Trading Zone:**
- Being “in zone” means that the asset’s current values for ADX, RSI, MFI, and the closeness of the Wave Trend lines indicate a period of consolidation. This scenario might be suitable for both short-term scalping or as an early exit indicator, depending on further market analysis.


## Timeframe Optimization Input Table

Traders can optimize indicator inputs depending on the timeframe they use. The following table provides a set of recommended input values for various timeframes. These values are suggestions and should be adjusted based on market conditions and individual trading styles.

Timeframe ADX RSI MFI ADX RSI MFI WT Channel WT Average
5-min 10 10 10 20 30 20 7 15
15-min 12 12 12 22 30 20 9 18
1-hour 14 14 14 25 30 20 10 21
4-hour 16 16 16 27 30 20 12 24
1-day 18 18 18 30 30 20 14 28


Adjust these parameters directly in the script’s input settings to match the selected timeframe. For shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min), the shorter lengths help filter high-frequency noise. For longer timeframes (e.g., 1-day), longer input values may reduce false signals and capture more significant trends.

## Best Practices and Usage Tips

- **Token Limit:**
- Limit the number of tokens scanned to 10 per query line. If you need to scan more tokens, initiate a new query line. This helps manage screen real estate and ensures the table remains legible.

- **Confirming Signals:**
- Use this script as a starting point for identifying high potential trades. Each indicator’s output should be used to confirm your trading decision. Always cross-reference with additional technical analysis tools or market context.

- **Regular Review:**
- Since the script updates the table every few bars (as defined by the update frequency), review the table and alerts regularly. Market conditions change rapidly, so timely decisions are crucial.

## Conclusion

This Pine Script provides a comprehensive approach for scanning multiple cryptocurrencies using a combination of trend strength (ADX), momentum (RSI and MFI), and reversal signals (Wave Trend). By using the provided recommendation table for different timeframes and limiting the tokens to 20 per query line (with a maximum of four query lines), traders can streamline their scanning process and more effectively identify high probability tradable tokens. Ultimately, the outputs should be critically evaluated and combined with additional market research before executing any trades.
