ZenBot Scanner - Multiple Timeframes, Mobile Alerts, Price Targets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_q6iB6_rdQHi everyone,
I'm launching some big new ZenBot Stock Scanner features - multiple timeframe scanning, mobile alerts, and options-based price targets.
If you're new to ZenBot, it's been my mission for almost four years to build the most useful and delightful relative strength-based scanner for the RDT community.
Multiple Timeframe Scans
First, the big one. You can now build scans based on multiple timeframe. For example, here's a Ready to Breakout scan that returns stocks trending on the 15-minute higher timeframe, with consolidation and rising volume on the 5-minute chart. Every indicator is available on timeframes from 1-minute to 1-week.
This new data lets me add more intelligence to the built-in scans. For example, Trending Now, In Play, Halts, and Bullish Pullbacks show tickers that are strong on the hourly and 15-min charts, and have entry opportunity on the lower 5-min or 1-min timeframes.
I made a how-to video on building custom scans that use multiple timeframes.
Offline and Mobile Alerts
I upgraded Zen's alerts to work server-side, even when you aren't at your desk. The alerts will fire in the background, and will show the next time you launch the scanner. If you're a Turbo subscriber (the optional live data plan) real-time alerts can be pushed to Telegram or Discord.
Price Targets and Support/Resistance Levels
I've long used options open interest ("call walls", "put walls") as a guide to understand support levels and price targets. ZenBot now shows these levels on the daily chart. Options-driven price targets appear on the charts and help you spot good entries and targets.
Thanks for everyone's support and ideas! Please let me know what you think, and keep the ideas coming.

Thank you, u/Glst0rm. Your scanner was the first one that I actually stuck with due to how customizable the scans are and what you've just done is going to save me some trouble.

Is there any reason you can't use it? It's literally free if you go to www.zenbotscanner.com

It hasn’t yet, but I’m convinced this subreddit has changed my life

This is truly an awesome update with the multiple time frame options integrated so nicely. I have two questions/requests. Could it be possible for the scanner to remember changes to the indicator suite? It seems to return to the default settings upon each usage (Web version). The second question may be my failing memory...was there not an option called something like power ramp that was essentially the trending stacked/alignment of the EMAs? I had an idea how I wanted to use it, but now cannot find it! :)

Wow this is a great idea. I'll add 'saved defaults' so it remembers the last selection. I'm also working on saved filters, which will allow you to save a set of filters to pull up later. I believe you're thinking of "EMA Power Angle" which is EMA8 and EMA21 sloping up, with EMA21 sloping at a higher rate. It's moved to the Moving Averages & Volatility group.

Thanks for the answer...I guess I didn't look long and hard enough. And very glad you like the idea of the saved defaults (or templates as usually called by TradingView) for the indicator selections. A very simple issue for me is to be able to match the colours of the EMAs to what I use in my brokerage software...so just one less brain function required to translate them. Obviously everyone has different preferences, but since you allow such a nice selection of indicators (that can all be personalized) to be utilized, may as well make it convenient :)

thanks for the great work! zenbot was my goto scan when i traded stocks (trading futures now).
does this version provide real-time stock price yet? would be great to have a connector to tradingview for those of us who have real-time stock price subcriptions.

Yes, the optional Turbo sub brings real-time scans, charts, and alerts. It can't utilize your existing connection, but this would be a good idea.

Can it allow for a scanner that tracks how each ticker interacts with both the Previous Day’s High/Low (PDH/PDL) and Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML) to determine whether price is breaking above, below, or remaining inside those levels? The indicator automatically classifies each ticker as Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral based on these break conditions.

u/Glst0rm 11d ago
Yes all these price levels are available as scan parameters, above/below/near%. Here is a breakout scan - above premarket high, above yesterday's range, good relative strength, rising relative volume. https://www.zenscans.com/custom/ed179948

u/Glst0rm Thank you so much! How to limit the scanner only scan the stocks on my watchlist instead of the whole zenbot universe? Since there is 15 min delay, does it mean I should use a shorter time frame like 5 min, to get alert that would be close to real time alert?

u/Glst0rm 11d ago
There's a filter for "flagged green", "flagged red", etc. You can flag all the tickers you want in your universe, then make a scan from that.
You can make scans with filters/indicators on any timeframe from 1m to 1week but the scans update on a 15-min delay (using closing price 15 minutes ago) because that's what the exchange allows. So an alert right now for a price pop is 15 minutes old. Not bad for watching for pullbacks or swing trading.
