TrendSpider Software Update: New Options for Scanners, Backtesting, and Alerts
Hello everyone! Today we are excited to announce the addition of a few new scripting operations for Backtesting, Scanning, and Multi-Factor Alerts. Traders can now use “Is within range of”, “Greater or equal”, “Less or equal” when building script conditions as well as a new “By at least” margin to filter for any price, candlestick pattern, or indicator within a certain range of their trigger.
New Scripting Operations
Is within range of – Use this operation to filter when price, candlestick pattern, or indicator comes within a range of another price, candlestick pattern, or indicator.
Greater or equal – Use this operation to filter when price, candlestick pattern, or indicator is greater than or equal to another price, candlestick pattern, or indicator.
Less or equal – Use this operation to filter when price, candlestick pattern, or indicator is less than or equal to another price, candlestick pattern, or indicator.
New Margin Filter
In addition to the new operations above, traders can now filter price, and candlestick pattern, or indicator by a percentage margin of their trigger. To enable this when scripting, select the three dots at the end of you scripting line to enable and disable this functionality.
New Custom Scanners
To accompany the new scripting operations we have also included four new custom scans you can use as a base to build in your custom scripts.
- Price within 1% of 50 EMA
- Price within 1% of 52W high
- Price 2% or more above prev close
- EMA 50 within 1% of EMA 200
We are always curious how you will use the new functionality. For comments or to show off your findings, tweet us @TrendSpider on Twitter!
