📘 MarketScanner Pro — User Guide

Everything you need to run scans, interpret scores, and manage alerts.

1) Quick Start

• Pick a watchlist (Manual Entry or import CSV).
• Click Run Scanner for Equities or Crypto.
• Open a symbol to inspect multi‑TF confluence, signals, and indicators.
• (Optional) Set price alerts or export CSV for journaling.

2) Scoring Model & Weights

Final score is a weighted sum across core signals. Partial credit applies when alignment is close but not perfect.

• EMA Stack (30%) — EMA9 > 13 > 21 > 50 bullish; reverse bearish.
• SMA5+EMA9/13 Trigger (10%) — Cross‑up adds, cross‑down subtracts; ATR filter reduces noise.
• RSI Regime (20%) — Bull ≥ 55, Neutral 45–55; Bear ≤ 45 (asset‑adaptive).
• MACD Momentum (20%) — Signal line cross + histogram slope; penalize fading momentum.
• ATR Risk/Extension (10%) — Normalizes moves; penalizes over‑extension.
• Volume Context (7%) — Bonus when volume > 20‑day average; filters illiquid names.
• Squeeze / Expansion (3%) — BB bandwidth + ATR compression; expansion bonus.

3) Timeframes & Confluence

• We aggregate confluence across: 30m, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 1D, Weekly.
• Stack tiers: ×2 Watch → ×3 Setup → ×4 High‑conviction → ×≥5 Extreme.
• Countdown: badge shows time remaining in each active candle.
• Weekly: adds macro context but doesn’t block intraday triggers.

4) Entries, Targets, Stops, Risk

• Entry: Prefer SMA cross in direction of EMA stack; avoid entries when price is > 1× ATR from mean.
• Stops: Trend = ×1.2× ATR(14); Counter‑trend = ×0.8× ATR.
• Targets: ×0.7× / ×1.5× / 2× ATR% grid; take partial at 1×; trail remainder by EMA21 or ATR stop.
• Use the prior‑bar 50% retrace as a visual pullback level.

5) Price Alerts

• Auto Check cadence for scanning.
• Target hits (TP/SL grid) or custom price levels.
• Signal events: SMA5↔EMA9/13 cross, EMA stack flip, RSI regime change, squeeze expansion.
• Delivery: in‑app; optional email/Telegram/push hooks.

6) Advanced Charts

Indicators: EMAs, RSI, MACD, BB/ATR context, volume. If you see mismatches vs your broker:

• Align timezone & session settings.
• Match candle granularity (1D vs 4h vs 1h etc.).
• Illiquid names may show spiky prints; confirm with a second source.

7) Exports & Workflow

• CSV copy for journaling; ready hooks for email/Telegram/push automation.
• Export snapshots from charts for trade logs.
