Custom Screener & Indicator Development — Chartink
Custom screener and scan development on Chartink for traders whose filtering logic doesn't fit the platform's default scan builder.
Chartink's visual scan builder is genuinely good for straightforward filtering — right up until the logic you actually want involves combining price action, volume patterns, and multiple indicator conditions in a way the visual builder's interface just can't express cleanly. At that point, most traders either settle for an approximation of what they wanted, or attempt custom scan syntax without a strong grasp of how it actually behaves.
A screener that's almost right is a specific kind of frustrating — it catches some of what matters, misses the rest, and creates a false sense that the filtering is working when it's actually leaking opportunities or generating noise.
Alerts are the other common gap: a saved scan that technically exists but never actually notifies anyone, so it sits unused in a list of saved scans that nobody checks regularly.
Algotrax builds scan logic precisely to your filtering criteria and makes sure the alerts actually reach you — not just a saved scan gathering dust.
What's included
Custom scan syntax built to precise technical and fundamental criteria
Multi-condition screeners combining price action, volume, and indicator logic
Alert setup so a scan actually notifies you, not just sits in a saved-scans list
Screener logic ported from another platform (Python, Pine Script) into Chartink syntax
Ongoing refinement as market conditions change what the scan should catch
How it actually runs
Criteria specification
The exact price, volume, and indicator conditions the screener needs to catch, defined precisely before writing any scan syntax.
Scan syntax development
Written and tested against Chartink's actual scan language, built for the precise multi-condition logic the visual builder can't express.
Backtest & validation
Run against historical data to confirm the screener actually catches what it's meant to, and doesn't flood with false positives.
Alert configuration
Set up so the scan genuinely notifies you when it fires, not just sits in a saved-scans list.
Ongoing refinement
Revisited as market conditions change what the scan should realistically be catching — a screener tuned for one regime can go quiet or noisy in another.

What most agencies get wrong here
Settling for an approximation the visual builder can express.
A screener that catches some but not all of the intended logic creates false confidence in its filtering.
Writing custom syntax without testing it against historical data.
Syntax that looks correct and behaves differently than intended is a common, quiet failure mode.
No alert configuration.
A saved scan that never actually notifies anyone might as well not exist.
Never revisiting the screener as market conditions change.
A scan tuned for one market regime can become noisy or silent in another; screeners need occasional tuning, not a one-time build.
How the engagement works
Priced per screener based on logic complexity — a straightforward multi-condition filter is a small engagement; a screener combining several technical and fundamental factors with careful tuning is larger.
A specification conversation happens first to confirm the exact criteria, so the delivered scan matches what you actually meant, not an interpretation of it.
Ongoing refinement as market conditions shift is available as light follow-on work, priced separately from the initial build.
Once the screener is live and properly alerting, it stops being a saved scan nobody checks — it's doing the filtering work automatically, catching exactly the setups it was built to catch.
Getting started is a short specification conversation — the exact criteria confirmed precisely, so the delivered scan matches what you actually meant.

Questions worth asking first
Yes — this is for logic complex enough that the visual scan builder can't express it cleanly, or where you want a screener designed and tested by someone who understands the underlying technical logic, not just the syntax.
