thinkorswim Scanner Setup to Find BREAKOUT STOCKS Before It's Too Late

[@MNDanno]

Are you sure that "Vol Index" isn't Volatility index and not Volume index?

[@PriceTimeCrypto]

UPDATE: Please check video description. You are 100% correct! I am not sure how I missed that... a mistake for sure. Thankfully the concept behind the scan (and the scan as presented in the video) is still valid on its own accord. I will have to post an updated video in the future. Good catch!

[@MNDanno]

@@PriceTimeCrypto I used that scan on Monday and it was like a piece of cake making bank. Then tuesday I took of the vol index because it wasn't about volume and also did okay. Today I did every single trade wrong like an idiot lol

[@jacktan5513]

@@MNDanno hi, so it using vol index ? why i cannot enter 250%

[@maandoo]

that is not volume index, it's volatility! get your stuff straight before posting to teach others.

[@brcleaningcompany2566]

@@PriceTimeCrypto ok so whats the word before i waste my time,,, so we do want the 'Volatility index" not vol correct? since the scans was based on you input electronically not verbally? please advise

[@PaulA-ji7jh]

Thanks. Would you be able to show us how to backtest this strategy ?

[@cottondai]

Great scan thank you youtube for bringing me a great thinkorswim scan video for finding stcks before they go parabolic.

[@XLucero1]

Scan add stock > % change min 3%. > stock close min .75 or 75%. -> stock pure volume min .5Million. ->stock Vol Index min 250%. -> all optionable.

[@dyardsale5475]

Good Video. Not sure at what trigger point to buy at.

[@roman6466]

So I imported the scanner url in the TOS app on desktop PC. What does no matching symbols mean?

[@stevechang1969]

i am not able to locate the volatility index and which vol indicator that you are referring to. can you do a video on how to set it up? thanks.

[@bullrunhunter6489]

Basically does the same thing as ScanZ but you cannot have multiple scanners up at one time with varying criteria.

[@NRValeck]

What is the optimal time of day to run the scanner?

[@YourTypicalBull]

Very nice scanner man great relative volume pickup for those nasty runner plays.

[@hella009]

Hi, Thanks, How to modify timeframe for this scanner?

[@nareshreddy8035]

Great video - Thanks for sharing. Any suggestion how to run this scanner in premarket?

[@tomhenry4993]

Great format, build the scanner and how to use it!

[@TheWinghochui]

Thanks for your sharing!

[@oblivion7300]

can I use this for options?

[@tommyalvarado8220]

What time of day do I use this ???

[@PriceTimeCrypto]

Typically at the end of the trading day, to identify potential stocks for the next trading day.

[@JamesWilliams-lj7ks]

The scan link does not work for me....I get 403 Forbidden. Would like to find a way to eliminate 2 sectors in the scan. Probably no can do. I would prefer to have all stocks in sectors Pharmecutials and Biotechs as too much vol and ability to tank before you can get out....even blow by past your stop and lose a ton of money......tks for the vid....subscribed...seriously & sincerely, jim Incurable Optimist with Insatiable curiosity......grin

[@vampirezio6996]

How do you add that volume panel under the chart as shown in the video?

[@PriceTimeCrypto]

In the "Chart" tab navigate towards the top right and find the gear icon. Click on this to open "Chart Settings". On this first pop-up page, on the bottom half, towards the right side, you will see "Layout:" with checkboxes to "Show price subgraph" and "Overlap volume". Make sure "Show price subgraph" is checked, and "Overlap volume" is unchecked. Another thing you may need to do is still within the "Chart Settings" pop-up, navigate to the "Equities" tab on the upper panel and where it says "Volume:" make sure "Show volume subgraph" is checked. You can do this for the "Options", "Futures", and "Forex" tabs as well. I hope this helps!

[@humblebeastkey4069]

Do I always have to set manual alerts or manual watchlists

[@rclark0884]

Will try this

[@rockyrf3]

I can not get my volume indicator anything like yours please explain Mine will not reflect as accurately as yours does.

[@jesusventura2509]

Excellent thanks

[@mbhooshan]

Thanks for the great video

[@Nirvin73]

Thanks.. volume and volatility is not easy to setup to find those pre runners. How do you setup the TVI on the Volume indicator? Since I show Volume on my price chart , could I add it to the main chart?

[@PriceTimeCrypto]

Good question! You can change where studies are located on the chart by clicking "Studies" on the top right of the chart. Go from Studies -> Edit Studies. On the right side of the menu under "Added studies and strategies," you will see three sections: Price, Volume, and Lower. If you add a study from the left menu, you can then click/hold and drag that study between those three sections on the right menu. I hope this helps!

[@stateofmyned]

@@PriceTimeCrypto it shows be an absolute straight line instead of showing the momentum ..

[@chrislaw6215]

Thanks buddy. I find your video very useful. When we screen the volume > 500,000, it's volumne per hour or minute? What's the convention here? Also for the price change %, I'd assume it's comparing market price to previous close/ or today's open price? Appreciated.

[@Pdeath]

First one. Thanks bro.

[@ArturoGarzaID]

I tried it and the scan isn't bringing anything up.

[@PriceTimeCrypto]

It's normal for a more specific scan to not pickup anything at times. It just means that no stocks have that setup currently. Keep checking from time-to-time, or adjust the time-frame to 4 hours or 1 hour for more likelihood of finding stock scenarios that match.

[@jonathanbroyles8338]

how did you get those volume stars in the chart below indicating how many people were jumping into that stock? I have called the help desk and they cannot find that either. Is it a custom script?

[@samcollins9524]

great video!!

[@shawnpedron9336]

Great video, thank you! Do you have ideas for a scan setup to find smooth repeating patterns or seasonality? Using for example MACD, squeeze, combining time-frames...?

[@PriceTimeCrypto]

Very interesting and thought-provoking question!

[@sundancer7381]

Great job!

[@thenaturelinkstore5120]

AWSOME VIDEO
