What You'll Do
In a few minutes, you will:
- Open Scanner.
- Choose what symbols to scan.
- Add a condition without writing a formula.
- Review results.
- Save the idea as a scan if you want to monitor it later.
Quick Start
- Open New in the top bar.
- Choose Scanner. StockVyze opens the Scanner workspace with Scanner on the left and Chart on the right.
- Pick a universe such as Market or S&P 500.
- Click Add Condition.
- Choose a signal, operator, and value.
Example condition:
RSI 14 is below 30
Scanner runs automatically as you change the setup.
Scanner reuses the same workspace instead of creating another workspace every time. If it contains unsaved work when you start or edit another scan, choose Save and continue, Discard and continue, or Cancel. Discarding the current draft does not delete scans you already saved in Lists.
Conditions, Not Code First
You do not need to know the formula language to start.
Use the condition builder for common ideas:
- Price above a moving average.
- RSI below or above a level.
- Relative volume above normal.
- Market cap above a threshold.
- Price near highs or below a moving average.
Advanced formulas are still available when you need precision, but they are not required for the normal scanner workflow.
Add Useful Columns
Scanner results are more useful when the table shows the context you care about.
Use columns for values such as:
- Price
- % Change
- Volume
- Market Cap
- RSI
- Relative Volume
- Distance from moving averages
If a result looks interesting, click the row and review it in a linked Chart pane.
Best First Layout
Use two panes:
+-------------------------+-------------------------+
| Scanner | Chart |
| Conditions + results | Follows clicked symbol |
+-------------------------+-------------------------+
This is the fastest way to review candidates. Scanner finds names; Chart validates price action.
Save the Scan
When you like a Scanner setup, save it as a scan.
Use saved scans for repeatable work:
- Breakout candidates
- Pullback candidates
- High relative volume
- Sector leaders
- Watchlist-specific setups
Scanner is for building and testing. A saved scan is for monitoring in Lists.
Common Questions
Why don't I see results?
Your condition may be too restrictive. Remove one condition or loosen the value.
Do I need formulas?
No. Start with Add Condition. Use formulas only when the builder cannot express what you need.
What's the difference between Scanner and a scan?
Scanner is the workbench for creating and editing. A scan is the reusable result you open and monitor in Lists.
