What is the Screener?

The Screener is a real-time sortable table that shows every asset in your active list alongside its key metrics — EMA position, Deviation Power, Duration, and Volume — across all your configured timeframes.

Think of it as your market radar. Instead of opening charts one by one, you let the Screener surface what's worth your attention. You set the conditions; it does the filtering.

Core filters:

  • EMA — green (above MA) or red (below MA) for each timeframe

  • DP (Deviation Power) — how far the asset has deviated from its EMA, as a percentage

  • DUR (Duration) — how many consecutive closes it's been above or below the EMA

  • DP + DUR — combined filter: strong deviation that has been holding

  • Volume — 24-hour trading volume

See Screener for the full feature guide including controls, color tags, and the pullback filter example


How do I use the Screener?

  1. Apply filters — use the EMA, DP, DUR, or DP+DUR columns to sort and filter assets. You can layer filters across multiple timeframes simultaneously.

  2. Sort by what matters — click any column header to rank assets by that metric. Use Volume to focus on the most liquid names.

  3. Organize your view — use Groups to view assets by sector (Meme, DeFi, Layer 2), Color Tag to filter by your custom tags, and Pin to keep priority assets at the top.

  4. Block assets from group orders if you want to exclude specific tickers from automated execution.

  5. Click any asset to open its chart — you can analyze structure across timeframes and go straight to the Orders panel from there.

Useful controls:

  • Lock — freezes the sort order so rows don't jump around while you're reading

  • Pause — stops live updates so you can take a snapshot of the current state

  • Shift + click — selects a range of assets at once

What is the difference between DP and DUR?

They measure two different things — and together they're much more useful than either one alone.

DP (Deviation Power) measures how far an asset has moved from its EMA, expressed as a percentage. It answers: how extended is this move right now?

DUR (Duration) measures how long an asset has been continuously above or below its EMA, in candles. It answers: how persistent is this trend?

Why the combination matters:

A high DP with low DUR means the asset just moved hard — it could be the start of something, or it could snap back quickly. You don't have enough context yet.

A high DP with high DUR means the asset has moved hard and held it — that's structural. The trend has conviction behind it.

The DP + DUR filter in the Screener finds exactly that combination: assets that are both extended and persistent. Those are the highest-quality setups — not just noise or short-lived spikes.

See Screener for practical examples of using DP + DUR filtering


How do I filter assets across multiple timeframes?

Here's a practical example — finding a pullback within an uptrend:

Step 1: On your higher timeframes (12h, 4h, 2h), filter the EMA column for green — assets trading above their MA. This confirms the primary trend is up on the timeframes that matter.

Step 2: On a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m), apply a red DP filter — assets showing short-term weakness below their MA.

The overlap is what you're after: assets that are structurally bullish on the macro but pulling back on the micro. That's a classic higher-timeframe pullback setup — entering in the direction of the dominant trend at a discounted price, not chasing an already-extended move.

Click through the filtered results, open the charts, and look for a clean structure with a defined entry and logical stop.

See Screener for a full walkthrough of this setup and other filtering approaches


What does a Screener row actually tell me?

Each row shows the asset's state across every timeframe in your list. Here's how to read it:

A cell showing Red / –8.51% / 15 means:

  • Red — the asset is currently trading below its EMA

  • –8.51% — it is 8.51% below its EMA on that timeframe (this is the DP value)

  • 15 — it has had 15 consecutive closes below its EMA (this is the DUR value)

That combination tells a specific story: this isn't a brief dip — the asset has been under its average for 15 straight closes and is sitting nearly 9% below it. That's structural weakness, not noise.

Compare that to an asset, for example, showing Red / –7.35% / 2 — the deviation is similar, but it just crossed below two candles ago. Very different situation.

The Average row at the top of each column shows the market-wide average for that metric. It's your baseline — useful for quickly gauging whether the whole market is extended or whether a specific asset is just an outlier.
