How To Have Multi Time frames In 1 single scan and for buys and sells?
How to make?
Thanks.
This is the code I’m trying to use to display a daily,4hr, 60m and 15m all in one scan but I get errors
indicator1 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c1 = (indicator1 < 28)
indicator2 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c2 = (indicator2 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(daily)
TIMEFRAME(480 minutes)
TIMEFRAME(60 minutes)
TIMEFRAME(15 minutes)
SCREENER[c1 AND c2] (Variation AS “%Chg prev bar”)
To write code, please use the <> “insert PRT code” button. Thank you.
indicator1 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c1 = (indicator1 < 28)
indicator2 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c2 = (indicator2 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(daily)
TIMEFRAME(480 minutes)
TIMEFRAME(60 minutes)
TIMEFRAME(15 minutes)
SCREENER[c1 AND c2] (Variation AS “%Chg prev bar”)
The output will be more readable.

If you want to display a scan ONLY when all conditions are met in all timeframes you will have to write
TIMEFRAME(daily)
indicator1 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c1 = (indicator1 < 28)
indicator2 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c2 = (indicator2 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(4 hours)
indicator3 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c3 = (indicator3 < 28)
indicator4 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c4 = (indicator4 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(1 hour)
indicator5 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c5 = (indicator5 < 28)
indicator6 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c6 = (indicator6 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(15 minutes)
indicator7 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c7 = (indicator7 < 28)
indicator8 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c8 = (indicator8 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(default)
SCREENER[c1 AND c2 and c3 and c4 and c5 and c6 and c7 and c8] (Variation AS "%Chg prev bar")
If you want to display a scan for all timeframes, only when both conditions are met in any TF, you will have to replace line 27 with
SCREENER[(c1 AND c2) or (c3 and c4) or (c5 and c6) or (c7 and c8)] (Variation AS "%Chg prev bar")
Hi, thanks very much for this info. I added the formulas.
Is there a way to display what separate time frame has setup up and met my criteria?
At the moment there seems no way of telling if for example the criteria has happened on say a 15m timeframe or any other?
For example, is there a column on the proscreener that can be added to show what individual timeframe
Thanks again.
If you don’t want to compile conditions on all timeframes at the same time, why do you want to make a multitimeframe screener?
If you only need to get signals for each of the timeframe, just make 4 different screeners and let them run together at the same time, you’ll get 4 different signals this way.
Hi, so to explain a bit further. I don’t want for a scan to activate only if all of the time frames agree, as I don’t think I would ever get a signal.
Is it only possible to have 1 proscreener displaying at the same time? I don’t know how I would be able to have different screeners on display at the one time on my screen?
What I thought may be possible would be to have all my timeframes that set up for a buy on the screeners, that could display the timeframe such as 15min, 60min, 480m, Daily?
Or should I only just manually run each time frame screener? For example on 15m I would need to run the screener each 15m to see if there is indeed a setup?
Thanks again
This version will return:
- 24 when conditions are met on the Daily chart
- 4 when conditions are met on the 4-hour chart
- 1 when conditions are met on the 1-hour chart
- 15 when conditions are met on the 15-minute chart
In case conditions are met in more then one TF, it will return the sum of any of the above (19 will tell you the scan was successful in TFs 15 + 4).
TIMEFRAME(daily)
indicator1 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c1 = (indicator1 < 28)
indicator2 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c2 = (indicator2 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(4 hours)
indicator3 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c3 = (indicator3 < 28)
indicator4 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c4 = (indicator4 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(1 hour)
indicator5 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c5 = (indicator5 < 28)
indicator6 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c6 = (indicator6 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(15 minutes)
indicator7 = Average[1](Stochastic[3,1](close))
c7 = (indicator7 < 28)
indicator8 = MACDline[12,26,8](close)
c8 = (indicator8 > 0)
TIMEFRAME(default)
x1 = ((c1 AND c2) * 24)
x2 = ((c3 and c4) * 4)
x3 = ((c5 and c6) * 1) //This multiplication is useless, it could have been x3 = (c5 and c6), since the result is either 0 or 1, I wrote it just for clarity
x4 = ((c7 and c8) * 15)
x = x1 + x2 + x3 + x4
SCREENER[x] (x AS "TF")
Another improvement could be to multiply all hour based TFs by 100
x1 = ((c1 AND c2) * 2400)
x2 = ((c3 and c4) * 400)
x3 = ((c5 and c6) * 100)
x4 = ((c7 and c8) * 15)
In this case a successful scan on the Daily chart would return 2400 (2500 if also on the 1-hour chart) and 2515 for Daily+1-hour+15 minutes.
Hi the scan criteria works great now thanks for all your help.
I still can’t get the “all in one” screener to work and display properly on the multiple timeframes though.
To explain further… I hope it make sense 🙂
To scan each separate time frame for my criteria.. Weekly, Daily, 4 Hr, 60 Min, 15 Min and 5 Min.
I need to scan my criteria the following timescales and the codes (so I can recognize from the screener window what timeframe has setup)… Weekly code (7) or (W), Daily (1) or (D), 4 Hourly (480), 60 Mins ( 60) 15Mins ( 15) and 5 min (5)
Also can the display code also be added for buy and sell setups. For example -7 for sell +7 for buy code?
Many thanks in advance
As from my post on 12/27/2017 at 12:57 AM, the addition gives you detailed info about the TFs, despite not telling from Bullish and Bearish data.
To accomplist that we would need a STRING (alphanumeric variable), but we can work it around using a number. Say you need to scan 7 TFs, we can arrange a number starting with 9 (to avoid losing leading 0’s) 90000000 followed by seven 0’s. We can replace them with 1’s if bullish and 2 if bearish.
Say we want Weekly Daily 4h 1h 15m 5m
we can set 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 initially
then it may become 9 1 1 1 2 2 1 where 1=bullish 2=bearish
You’ll see on the screener box 9111221, that’s the best I can think of. If you agree, I’ll write that.
Hi Roberto, I really appreciate your help on this.
I think to make it more simple better to just go for 4 timeframes….The Weekly, Daily, 4 Hourly and 1 Hour.
I know another company uses codes (7) for 7 days. (1) ( for daily) ( 240) for 4 hours and (60) for 1 hour and they just add a (-) minus to identify any sell signals.
If you can copy that formula it would be great, however, if you prefer another way just do that and I will use your codes.
Regarding the previous codes, I tried to add this into the screener but I got syntax errors.
If you can let me know to copy and paste the exact and full codes please once you have the timeframe formula?
Many thanks again.
nealhart, I understand perfectly what you mean, BUT Screener can only return ONE number, so if multiple conditions are met in different TFs, each number will override the previous one. If you need just one value at each scan just tell me your priority (1 = most important), in the example below the Weekly TF will override all the others if conditions are met:
- weekly (will return 7 or -7)
- daily (will return 1 or -1)
- 4 hours (will return 240 or -240)
- 1 hour (will return 60 or -60)
Also, to be able to set negative values you should tell me what is the SELL condition.
Wow! … very innovative ideas Roberto, I’ll mark this one a Favourite for when I need to use your code above!
I also look forward to the full Screener on here.
Thank You
