Crypto scanner guides: scans, alerts and Chains

Last updated:

These guides are for traders who read TD Sequential setups and countdowns and want confirmation from volume and candle patterns before they act. Each one explains a method, then shows how Moolish scans it and combines it with others into a single alert.

How the guides fit together

The scanner guides teach the signals: TD Sequential, volume and candle patterns. The confirmation guide and the event chain guide combine them. The glossary is the reference you open when a word is unfamiliar. All three use the same example: Buy Setup 9 on the 1D, High Volume or above on the 4H and a confirming candle on the 15M, one Scan Events card each. A second example works across assets: a Market condition of High Volume or above on the BTC 1D gates a trigger on an altcoin 15M.

What you need to follow along

You do not need to know how to code. You need a free Moolish account, which comes with a 7-day trial and no credit card, and a rough idea of what you would like to be told about. The methods used here, Sequencer 9-13 and Volume VSA, are listed on the methods page, and the Candle editor ships with 45 presets.

Everything in these guides describes how a tool detects conditions. None of it is financial advice, and none of it claims that a condition will lead to a profit. Read the Disclaimer and Risk Disclosure first if you have not already.
