Good morning everyone! This post and therefore my question is in regards to the free “Multi Time Frame MACD Divergences” Screener which can be found under the Library Files section.
I was trying to tweek the code in the way as to set it for intraday (1 Min to 60 Min) usage, but unfortunately with very limited success!
Can anyone kindly be of help?
Thank you so much in advance and all the best!

Hi,
Maybe it’s too simple, but can’t you adjust the current timeframes for intraday…?
TimeFrame(Weekly) => TimeFrame(Daily)
TimeFrame(Daily) => TimeFrame(1 hour)
I think divergences on a “faster” time frame, for example 1 minute, is a bit too far-fetched…
What is the meaning/value of a divergence based on a 1-minute time frame?
Hi JS! Thank you for getting in touch with me!
Well, that is what I thought too! I simply changed the timeframe to “(5MN)”, but unfortunately it did not work!

Hi,
I’m assuming you’ve changed the time frame in the code…
Can you tell us what didn’t work?

Hi,
When I use the original screener with a time frame of 1 day & 1 minute, the screener does work and there are also results…
Good morning & thank you for coming back to me so fast JS! Well, I changed the code in the way that I deleted all in regards to the weekly part first, and then put the second lower part to timeframe (5Mn). The result was that there were no results! By the way, when I am screening on a daily basis, it all works just fine and I am getting results!
Here is my modified code:
timeframe (5Mn)
MinPrix = close >2.5
MinVolume = summation [10](average[23](volume)> 100000) =10
D=12
E=26
//F=9
//REM MACD
EMAshort1Day = exponentialaverage[D](close)
EMAshort2Day = exponentialaverage[D](EMAshort1Day)
DifferenceShortDay = EMAshort1Day – EMAshort2Day
ZeroLagShortDay = EMAshort1Day + DifferenceShortDay
EMAlong1Day = exponentialaverage[E](close)
EMAlong2Day = exponentialaverage[E](EMAlong1Day)
DifferenceLongDay = EMAlong1Day – EMAlong2Day
ZeroLagLongDay = EMAlong1Day + DifferenceLongDay
ZeroLagMACDDay = ZeroLagShortDay – ZeroLagLongDay
//signal1Day=ExponentialAverage[F](ZEROLAGMACDDay)
//signal2Day=ExponentialAverage[F](signal1Day)
//DIFFERENCE2Day=signal1Day-signal2Day
//
//SignalMACDDay=signal1Day+DIFFERENCE2Day
/// Divergence MACD Day
W=ZeroLagMACDDay

//finding the double bottom
if d1 then
RefCloseDownNewDay=close[2]
RefMACDDownNewDay=w[2]
//BarBullNewDay=barindex[2]
endif
if RefCloseDownNewDay<RefCloseDownOldDay and RefMACDDownNewDay>RefMACDDownOldDay and close >ExponentialAverage[200](close) then
//double slash next line if you don’t needed the mark on a different window

SCREENER [((beardivDay or bulldivDay)) and MinPrix and MinVolume ](signal)
Let me try what you did JS! and leave the weekly part in the code and put it to Daily and modify the Daily lower part to 1 Min….
Well, I did as you did JS and put the upper part of the code to Daily and the lower part to 1 Min and it works, but I am getting too many results 173 bei using CBOE US Stocks. Only 50 are allowed per list.
When I put both time intervals to intraday, like 60 Mn and 1 Mn, the screening starts but stops all of a sudden altogether!

Hi MJZ,
The results of a screener are shown in the list and how many results this list can contain depends on the PRT version you are working with. In PRT -Complete I think a maximum of 50 results are shown in the list and when using PRT -Premium a maximum of 100 results can be shown in a list… (a commercial thing)
I think it’s best to use both the timeframes because that’s how the screener is set up…
Use of 60 minutes is not allowed in a screener (don’t know why) but you can use a time frame of 1 hour… 😉
In the screenshot the screener with a time frame of 1 hour and a time frame of 1 minute… (only 1 result)
Thank you so much JS! Have a good time & all the best for your trading!
