How to make your own Google spreadsheet scanner?

All the steps by step are described in the below video.

Use of scanner

1. We can predict the stock trend by analyzing the end of the data?
2. We can find stock for the next day?

What contains in this sheet?

Buy/sell column

So for long stock should have high volume, high OI, and PCR>1. So, we make our buy column by giving the above condition

Change in Volume and Change in the open interest column

If ultra-high volume we find. Then something unusual happened. by checking the chart we can determine whether the stock for tradable or not. Whether it breaks out from any support or resistance level with high volume. then we must keep it on our watch list

Change in price

Here we will find top gainer or top looser stock. Check in the chart why the top gainer and a top loser.

Change in PCR column

Gap up and gap down the column

This column update aftermarket open. Have a look at this sheet

How to use this scanner?

Let me tell you some basic information

For the trading purpose, avoid stocks with lower volumes and lower open interest

Why?

The analogy of volume and open interest in the market is like that of fuel to a fire. If the fuels are removed from a fire, the fire will go out. If fuel (volume and open interest) is removed from a price trend, the trend will change or move will stop. When open interest and volume decline, fuel is removed and the prevailing price trend is running on borrowed time. For a healthy, strong price trend (either up or down) to continue, open interest and volume ideally should increase, or at least not decline.

Option chain analysis

PCR=put to call ratio

Buy Rule: 1. Change in PCR(OI) is positive.

Sell Rule: 1. Change PCR(OI) is negative

In the video, I explain in live how to select stock for the next day based in end of day data analysis. Here is the list of stock that showing buys condition

Even our scanner shows buy condition. After the market opens if our trading setup didn’t tell then I am happy to avoid trading.

Tips: If the index and sector are bullish trade with strong stock on the bullish side.
