This is an example of an optimized scan wherein a single parameter or variable can accept multiple inputs thereby replacing the need for writing several scans (as was required in the older versions of ChartAlert)

This functionality was introduced in October 2023 (Version 23.10.1)

Below is an illustration of an optimized scan that can be created using the Advanced Scanner in ChartAlert.

This one enhanced scan, wherein a single parameter or variable can now accept multiple values or inputs for scanning, now replaces the need for writing six separate scans as was required in the previous versions of ChartAlert.

[BEGIN Close crossed above EMA(timeP1)]

Set OptVar timeP1 = 5,8,13,21,34,55

List symbols where c crossed above EMA(timeP1)

Add Column Close
Add Column EMA(timeP1) chart(color=red, lw=2)

Apply to Nifty100
