ya, but its a train wreck and not great if you need to use another broker. takes huge CPU. Can you do something on Mometic Scanner and set up like you would? Please!!
Thank you soo much I have realized how custom scanners are too pivotal in leveraging the power of this technology for me to succeed!!!!! This is hundreds of dollars of information for FREE!!!!
Great video, I learned a lot. Best description of the TOS scanner I have been able to find. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos as I am trying to learn to become a Day Trader. Thank you.
Take it slow and steady. Learn the tools inside and out and then get screen time when the market is actually open. Trading is a marathon not a sprint, as cliche as it sounds, its true.
Matt, I have been watching your videos for the nine short months I have been trading and I must say you are without question in the top five teachers maybe even the best. I have re-watched your videos on numerous occasions because I learned from my tennis lessons that the teacher can't teach the student unless the student is ready to receive the lesson. So in this case I was ready to receive of the lesson for the scanner. Really great tutorial and it has certainly opened my eyes to a tool that I can make tremendous use of. As always thank you for your contributions to the community.
You bet Mike! Thanks for takign the time to tune into the tutorial and leave a comment. Hope you're able to find the exact setups you are looking for now
Just came across your video. It’s marvelous. Thanks so much. I had a question on study and right at the start you addressed my very question.. weird.. the universe guides you the right way sometimes…
Love to hear that I could be of some use! Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to drop a comment with some feedback. Wishing you nothing but success in your trading and ToS journey.
Wow.. you just earned a sub today! Excellent and clear presentation, well done! I REALLY wish Schwab would offer in-person weekend seminar on ToS courses, like beginner, intermediate, and advanced. I learn best in person, in a classroom, with an instructor in front of me. I'd be willing to pay for a seminar like this, but none are offered. Maybe you can do it, you got the knowledge and the presentation skills.
@@TradeBrigade please, make it so! I’m telling you, I’d pay for a seminar on ToS from soup to nuts. I have told Ameritrade this and apparently they’re not interested.
Excellent instructional vid on the scanner. Thanks Matt. I watch your premarket prep daily and it has helped me dial in the price action on the various stocks I track.
This is one of the most helpful tutorials on creating scanners I have found on YT. Great job. I wish ATR (Average True Range) was an option to add into the TOS scanner criteria, but it is not available from what I can see. Thank you very much for the deep dive!!
THIS TUTORIAL IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT TD AMERITRADE PROVIDES! IS IT POSSIBLE TO FIND JOHN CARTER'S 'squeeze' CANDIDATES USING THE TOS SCAN? IF SO, PLEASE POST A VIDEO UPDATE. THANK YOU.
@@TradeBrigade I'm starting to watch your other videos too bro thanks. Do you have videos explaining what all the filters do? Like in your HQ scanner what is RSI and what is a moving average, why is the 20>9 on it so important? I am familiar with options but not scanners in the slightest lol
Awesome video mate, few questions though. For the volume lets say you put 1 million in, and hit scan. Will it show you all stocks that have hit 1 million volume since the calendar day flips (midnight)? So if you scan at 8:30 AM EST will it show you all stocks that have traded 1 million in the last 8.5 hours (obviously probably not many since pre market)? And if you scan at 6 PM EST will it then show you all the ones that have traded that volume in the last 18 hours? You said volume on the "Day", so just wondering when the "Day" starts? So it is important to what time you scan depending on the strategy you are looking to play? Thanks in advance hope these questions made sense!
Hello, at 2:46, you mentioned 'exclude/personal/core list'. For my TOS platform, 'personal' is shaded out, I am unable to click it. Will it be OK as-is, or what do you suggest? Thank you :)
I really like your detail and clarity of presentation, including showing carefully your mouse clicks. I did find something today: The TOS top level scan set to NYSE also includes NASDAQ results. To check this (because I was comparing a SSE vs TOS simple scan) I set the top level scan to NYSE, and then scanned for Volume >10,000,000. On today's market I got 58 results, and 6 of them were NASDAQ.... VS, FLJ, LQR, NXU, AMD, AAL. I consider this a very basic flaw in the TOS system. I wonder how many other flaws are there that I cannot identify? Can anyone else check?
@@TradeBrigade Yes, I guess not technically wrong, and the NYSE is not well defined ("S&P500" is well defined) as to what is included or not, ie Arca stock/ETF's.
Matt, thank you for this video tutorial. It has helped me a lot - better that what TOS people are teaching. I do have a question, though. You used Daily timeframe for the watchlist/scanning. If I am using 1minute timeframe on my chart, do I have to change my watchlist/scan to 1 minute timeframe of leave it on Daily? Thanks
Glad it was helpful! To scan on the one minute chart for changes in STUDY FILTERS you must change the timeframe. To find any price information the timeframe will not matter. Hope this answers the question!
Hi Matt, This is great really help me a lot. A question Please. I have followed step by step how to se up the Custom Study, last one. But the SMAs and RSI are not working for me, cannot see it in my charts like yours. Any help Please
@@TradeBrigade Hi Matt, thanks for reply, my account has already money and I have time doing some trades. Again, I don't know what is wrong but study to get the trending stocks does not work for me, maybe is Canada jaja
Matt dude you missed your calling LOL this is straight forward and does not waste folks time " ) I am going to follow and would for sure like one on writing script if you have one of those in your hip pocket ... I tried to follow a fellow but my script would not turn blue ... I really know what I want but even with all the drop down menu and function can not find it in there lol
@@TradeBrigade It is great to have good friends but copy paste is way cool also ... you guys rock .. DiamondHands Hi Lee, have you tried using ChatGPT to help you with writing the script? I am happy to do it for you, but I think it might be more efficient if you can give ChatGPT explicit instructions about what you want the script to do. This way, ChatGPT can assist you in creating the script more accurately and quickly.
Thanks...great video. For some reason I can't get my studies to pull over to my charts when reviewing my WL (scan results). Even after saving / loading the appropriate scan query. Any simple answer (ha ha). Cheers, J
Hey J! What do you mean by have the studies pull over? The scanner can be exported to a WL and then whatever studies you have set on the chart should stay consistent as you move through the WL.
Thats a whole heck of a lotta scripting... Outside of my wheelhouse and likely asking a bit too much out of the platform. Something like Sierra chart and a connected broker is a better route IMO
For liquidity, instead of Volume, which is only the current volume, I prefer the Study/Average Volume over 126day (6mo). Be sure D is showing at right so that it is looking at Daily Volumes. In this way I don't get stocks that have abnormally high volume such as after an earnings announcement.
@@TradeBrigade I wish TOS would tell you which scans are looking at end of day, and which scans are going on intra day and before/after market. I say this because I want to do my trading search work before and after market because I live in Hong Kong and currently the market hours are my 10:30pm to 5:00am.
Street Smart Edge has a filter for showing the top option movers by %. Is that something that can be configured directly in this? I can add volatility and such to try and fake/simulate what will also likely be a top mover but for some reason the "% change" isn't a scannable filter it doesn't seem.
Is there a reason why you want to scan for the options? Why not just scan for the underlying which is the whole reason that the options would be moving aggressively any how? You can only scan % change mark on underlying via the "options hacker" scanning tool in ToS. Could build a custom scan if you wanted using think script.
I'd be looking for stocks that jumped unexpectedly. If an underlying has earnings and their options are all priced in and it jumps 50% overnight I wouldn't want to see that. The options wouldn't increase much since the jump was anticipated. Stocks where the jump is 50% and nobody saw it coming would have options prices in the 1000% range and those are what I would be looking for.@@TradeBrigade
When the macd crosses on the 15 mins that’s one of the corfirmations i look for. Can this be set up as on the scanner also or just moving averages cross over?
@@TradeBrigade lost of earning coming up, do you have anything on earning? That tells you the behavior of a certain stock when it beats or misses it earning, how many times has it beat or miss has it gapped up or down? Has it gap filled or gap and go, i was trying to add labels to chart showing this
@@brcleaningcompany2566 Thats outside the scope of a scanner. That would likely require a whole program to be created that would do that type of analysis.
@@TradeBrigade thank man your market internal videos has been a game changer for me when it comes to trading SPY, definitely a lot more confident with Spy.
You have anything on stop losses on TOS? I want to start sending bigger orders out with a tighter stop loss, but with 0DTE options moving so fast, I hate sending the order out then going back to add a stop loss after it’s been filled, is there a safer way?
There are OCO orders and trigger orders you could send. As soon as you place the buy order, youll already have a stop and take profit in place. Will add it to my list of videos to make!
Does the dynamic watchlist Update only for that Day scan was Conducted? Does it also take stocks out of watchlist when they fall out of the criteria? If it’s $25 and it falls to 24.00 will the watchlist update the same way it adds new ones that meet criteria
The scan will dynamically update regardless of day. So my high volume options scan pulls new data each morning. Yes when a stock falls out of criteria it is removed from the watchlist.
Hello Matt, on your video "Master the Think or Swim (ToS) Stock Scanner | Trading Tutorials", you first saved the scan as Scan Query (HQ NYSE Stocks)". You saved it again as Watchlist (6-27 HQ NYSE Stocks)". Then, to make the list dynamic, you used the HQ NYSE Stocks file. My questions are (1) Why did you have to save the list as Watchlist before making it dynamic using the "HQ NYSE Stocks" instead of going directly to making the list dynamic? I didn't see any need or purpose of saving as watchlist. (2) Is there a place in TOS to set when the watchlist updates or refreshes - for example, update every 5 minutes? Thanks.
To answer question #1, it was just as an example to show you how you could save the results of ANY scan to a list, say a scan you didnt want to be dynamic. So just for examples sake, its not a key step in saving a dynamic scan. Question #2 there is not. The best way I've found is to load something else, and then reload the scan you want to run. It will force a refresh. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in
How did you get so good with TOS? I would love to master it but everyday is filled with frustration. What do you recommend? (Besides watching your awesome tutorials 🙂) Earned a like and a new sub.
Appreciate the comment! Thanks for the kind words about the tutorials, and glad to have you as a subscriber. I've gotten good over the years, it didnt come all naturally. Around year 3 I would say things started to click and I could really get the platform to bend and work for me, not the other way around. Stick with it and time will serve you well!!
If I want, say, 40 or 60 different stock charts open, what's the best way to do that to make it least resource-intensive? I don't need them open at the same time, but need access to them, without having to type in the symbol to change a chart. Can I set up different layouts - say, with 20 charts of my current positions, 20 with ones I want to keep an eye on, 20 with sectors? - and swap between those layouts?
Yes you nailed it in your comment. I would create a watchlist widget for each list. From there go to flex grid and populate 20 cells. In the top options menu, you can load symbols to cells to save the time of having to type them in manually. From there save that flex grid layout as a set. Repeat for each of the three categories and then to pull them up you just change the flex grid layout. You could also detach the grids one by one so you had all three layouts open in separate windows.
Hello bro, my TOS platform doesn’t show scanning results before market open. Their customer services told me market has to open to show the results but in your video tickers pop up in the pre market. Any feedback ?
You can indeed. Make sure that the timeframe you are using is correct for the scan to return the desired results. For example, if you are running a daily scan criteria it wont pick up on oversold hourly RSI.

The studies scanner?
Hello Matt, on your video "Master the Think or Swim (ToS) Stock Scanner | Trading Tutorials", you first saved the scan as Scan Query (HQ NYSE Stocks)". You saved it again as Watchlist (6-27 HQ NYSE Stocks)". Then, to make the list dynamic, you used the HQ NYSE Stocks file. My questions are (1) Why did you have to save the list as Watchlist before making it dynamic using the "HQ NYSE Stocks" instead of going directly to making the list dynamic? I didn't see any need or purpose of saving as watchlist. (2) Is there a place in TOS to set when the watchlist updates or refreshes - for example, update every 5 minutes? Thanks.
To answer question #1, it was just as an example to show you how you could save the results of ANY scan to a list, say a scan you didnt want to be dynamic. So just for examples sake, its not a key step in saving a dynamic scan. Question #2 there is not. The best way I've found is to load something else, and then reload the scan you want to run. It will force a refresh. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in
@@TradeBrigade Thanks a lot.
How did you get so good with TOS? I would love to master it but everyday is filled with frustration. What do you recommend? (Besides watching your awesome tutorials 🙂) Earned a like and a new sub.
Appreciate the comment! Thanks for the kind words about the tutorials, and glad to have you as a subscriber. I've gotten good over the years, it didnt come all naturally. Around year 3 I would say things started to click and I could really get the platform to bend and work for me, not the other way around. Stick with it and time will serve you well!!
@@TradeBrigade Thanks man, I'll keep at it and appreciate the encouragement.
Very good
Appreciate the feedback!
25:35 What a memories, AMC at that price :)
One for the history books!
If I want, say, 40 or 60 different stock charts open, what's the best way to do that to make it least resource-intensive? I don't need them open at the same time, but need access to them, without having to type in the symbol to change a chart. Can I set up different layouts - say, with 20 charts of my current positions, 20 with ones I want to keep an eye on, 20 with sectors? - and swap between those layouts?
Yes you nailed it in your comment. I would create a watchlist widget for each list. From there go to flex grid and populate 20 cells. In the top options menu, you can load symbols to cells to save the time of having to type them in manually. From there save that flex grid layout as a set. Repeat for each of the three categories and then to pull them up you just change the flex grid layout. You could also detach the grids one by one so you had all three layouts open in separate windows.
@@TradeBrigade Thanks for that description; I'll try to go through that. By chance do you have a video on such a scenario, though, in case I struggle?
@@JackJensenTrader ruclips.net/video/hlxtb1FsQrw/видео.html The section on flexible grids in the later half of this video should help.
Hello Trade Brigade, do you know how I can add Dollar Volume to the scan function ?
It would need to be coded as a custom study criteria.
@@TradeBrigade thank you!
Hello bro, my TOS platform doesn’t show scanning results before market open. Their customer services told me market has to open to show the results but in your video tickers pop up in the pre market. Any feedback ?
You should be able to run premarket scans for premarket criteria. Make sure there isnt a huge volume filter, usually that is what throws things off.
HI CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW I SCAN STOCK CURRENT PRICE IS HIGHER THEN PREVIOUS DAY HIGH ?
Set up the condition wizard > custom study: If price is greater than, prior day close.
There are no x's for me to clear the 3 lines on the scanner. Any input on that?
You’ll need to scroll over to the right.

When I push Study it says I do not have permission for that function. Do you know what I need to do to fix this?
Hmm... Not entirely sure. Try resetting the platform? If that doesnt work might be worth reaching out to ToS support. I have never seen this before.
Hi I want to add a study on the scanner but it says I am not permission to add a custom study what can I do
Are you trading on a live account or paper account? Paper money accounts have restricted permissions.
Can we use the scanner to screen ETF's I tried to scan on RSI and DMI but the results were wrong .
You can indeed. Make sure that the timeframe you are using is correct for the scan to return the desired results. For example, if you are running a daily scan criteria it wont pick up on oversold hourly RSI.
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
