STOCK HACKER SCANNER FOR THINKORSWIM® — SCANS FOR VOLUME + PRICE ATR SPIKE SETUPS
You already know how powerful a good custom study can be. But what good is a custom study if you can’t quickly scan the market for stocks that are meeting its conditions right now?
Important:This listing is for the Stock Hacker scanner only. Chart study indicator is sold separately on a separate listing.
The Volume + Price ATR Spike Scanner for thinkorswim® is the Stock Hacker companion to my Volume + Price ATR Spike chart study. The chart study plots the white-arrow signal on a chart. The scanner version takes that same core logic and lets thinkorswim search for stocks currently printing that setup on your chosen timeframe.
Instead of flipping through charts one by one, the scanner checks for the same core conditions:
- a real price spike, where candle range is much larger than normal versus ATR
- a real volume spike, where current volume is much higher than its recent average
- optionally, a strong green candle body with minimal wick
When those conditions line up, the scan returns TRUE so you can focus on a smaller list of candidates and then apply your own entry, exit, and risk rules.
This product is intended for thinkorswim® users who already know how to use Stock Hacker and basic custom study filters. What you are receiving is the specific thinkScript scan code that reproduces the same condition as the Volume + Price ATR Spike signal we are selling on another listing, so you can scan for that setup across many symbols.KEY FEATURES / HIGHLIGHTS

PARAMETER ADJUSTMENT & TESTING
The indicators and scanners we sell are fully adjustable, and performance depends heavily on:
The symbols you trade (low-float stocks, crypto miners, leveraged ETFs, etc.)
The timeframes or tick charts you use
Current market conditions and volatility
There is no single “magic setting” that works perfectly on every ticker and every timeframe.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS use risk management! It is strongly recommended that you trade with a clearly defined risk level on every position (such as a stop loss or max dollar loss per trade). Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
For best results, you should:
Experiment with different volume and ATR settings
Backtest or paper trade the scanner with your own strategy
Re-tune inputs as markets change
