Indicators and screeners

Trend Alignment Pro identifies and highlights chart patterns and signals for traders who trade with the trend. The name reflects its core idea: confirm price action, patterns and signals across multiple timeframes before acting.

• Moving Average Alignment and Power Trend detection on daily charts
• Power Earnings Gap detection with customizable gap, volume and surprise requirements
• Custom RS Line with new high and new-high-before-price markers
• Tight weeks and up weeks on weekly charts
• Flat bases, pullbacks, auto-anchored VWAP, 52-week and all-time highs
• Daily and weekly stats tables, plus custom alerts

Developed in collaboration with David Ryan, three-time winner of the U.S. Investing Championship. Ants highlight stocks showing steady institutional buying: by default, up at least 12 of the past 15 days, with volume 20%+ above average and price up 20%+.

Ants can also flag potential climax tops, when extreme price and volume acceleration shows up late in an extended move.

• Automated detection with fully customizable requirements
• Hover over any Ant for detailed price and volume stats
• Optional table showing progress toward a new Ant
• Pine Screener support for new and historical Ants
• Symbol and watchlist alerts

A conventional RS Line rewards any high-beta stock in a rising market. Relative Strength Alpha Pro strips out the move a stock’s volatility alone would explain, and requires strength against both a cap-weighted (SPY) and an equal-weight (RSP) benchmark.

• 0-4 RS Score across three time horizons plus price trend
• RS Line new highs (NH) and new highs before price (NHBP)
• Leadership timing: flags when a leader’s RS Line breaks its own moving average
• Pine Screener columns and filters for scanning full watchlists
• Independent daily and weekly settings, plus custom alerts

The Power Trend concept comes from IBD’s Market School and was traditionally applied to a major index. This indicator applies the same precise rules to any security, giving a quantifiable signal for strong, sustained uptrends.

• Three display options: box, stoplight, or per-bar symbol
• Track progress toward a new Power Trend
• Alerts when a Power Trend starts or ends

A collection of intraday analysis tools built in collaboration with Brian Shannon, CMT, author of two best-selling books on technical analysis.

• AVWAP auto-anchored on 1-day, 2-day, week-to-date and month-to-date
• Works with any global exchange, respecting trading days, hours and holidays
• 5-day moving average auto-calculated for the chart timeframe
• Daily moving averages on intraday charts
• Floor trader pivots, current and prior day highs/lows
• Stats tables and custom alerts

View weekly trends from a daily chart, monthly from weekly, and quarterly from monthly. Each higher-timeframe period is drawn as a box classified as up, down, inside or outside, making three consecutive higher highs or lower lows easy to spot.

Developed with David Ryan, where the idea for multi-timeframe boxes originated at William O’Neil + Company. Works on individual stocks and on indexes like SPY, QQQ and the Nasdaq Composite.

The 50% retracement has been observed across Dow Theory, Gann and Fibonacci frameworks for over a century. This indicator plots those levels in both directions: as support during pullbacks in an uptrend and as resistance during bounces in a downtrend.

• Classic or Fibonacci level sets
• Auto-generated pivots or manual selection of highs and lows
• Optional pivot extension lines as additional support/resistance
• Full control over levels, colors and line styles

Seeing earnings as a line rather than a table of numbers makes the trend easy to read: a steep rise between releases signals a strong earnings trajectory.

• Reported (non-GAAP), basic or diluted EPS
• Earnings surprises and next-quarter estimate trajectory
• Year-over-year data for every quarter
• Quarter-over-quarter acceleration
• Daily, weekly and monthly charts

Earnings drive institutional accumulation. This screener surfaces stocks with the highest potential for sustained upward moves.

• Year-over-year EPS and sales growth, with consecutive-quarter requirements
• 1 to 4 quarters of EPS and sales acceleration
• Earnings gap-ups with gap %, volume, surprise and closing range filters
• % above the 50-day SMA and return on equity columns

Pullbacks are often high-probability entries within trending markets. Instead of chasing extended moves, find stocks retracing toward support.

• Up to three moving averages each for daily and weekly scans
• Pullback range above and below a moving average
• Optional lower-low requirement to confirm a real pullback
• Closing range filter to spot buyers stepping back in
• ATR % filter to match your volatility preferences
