Use with Claude
Copy and send after installation
Use Trader Scanner to check my watchlist for opening-range breakouts after the range is complete. If I have not supplied a watchlist, ask which tickers to use. Report the scan time, charts checked, skipped charts, and why each result matched. Label a partial scan clearly. Do not choose a stock for me.Opening-range results require completed bars after the opening range. If the data or market session cannot support a check, Claude should explain why.
Example Claude response
Illustrative · based on the source project's dated example
Oct 19, 2026 · 10:15 a.m. New York time
Opening-range scan · historical example
233 of 234 charts fetched; 231 usable.
95 candidates checked; 42 charts matched.
TSLA: 10:10 bar closed at $364.18, 0.55% above the $362.18 range high.
This is a chart match, not a decision to buy.
95 candidates checked applies only to this historical sample. A PARTIAL scan must also show confirmed, skipped and failed counts.
Read the original Trader Scanner exampleWhat it checks
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
Scope | A saved watchlist, selected tickers or the source project's stock universe. |
Daily setups | Closing-price breakouts, flags, moving-average reclaim and oversold patterns. |
Opening range | A completed five-minute bar above the first 15 minutes' range high. |
Coverage | How many charts were fetched, usable, confirmed, failed or skipped. |
Daily and opening-range scans use different rules. The opening range is 9:30–9:45 a.m. New York time; subsequent completed bars provide confirmation.
Limits & sources
What the result can confirm
Which available charts met a stated rule at the reported time, and how complete the scan was.
What it cannot confirm
That a matched ticker is suitable to buy, liquid enough now or likely to profit.
Yahoo chart data is unofficial and can lag. A PARTIAL result is not a full-market count. Five-minute bars are not tick data, and a historical match does not establish a current entry.
