ToolTack Trend Screener
Multi-Symbol Trend Direction Screener for TradingView
Scan 40 mega-cap stocks in one place. Trend Screener combines a non-repainting ATR-based trend with money-flow-aware direction detection, and pins live BUY/SELL labels plus a per-ticker screener table to your chart — so you can read rotation across the leaders at a glance.
01 Quick Summary
Trend Screener is an invite-only TradingView indicator built around a single question: which mega-cap stocks are trending — and which way? It computes a non-repainting ATR trend with a Money Flow Index (or RSI) direction filter, plots clean BUY/SELL labels on the active chart, and runs the same logic across 40 customisable symbols in a pinned screener table — so the entire leaderboard is one glance away.
02 Overview
Most trend indicators run on one chart at a time. Trend Screener flips that idea: it computes the same ATR-based, non-repainting trend on up to 40 symbols simultaneously and surfaces the results in a single on-chart table — so the whole mega-cap universe is one glance away while you still get clean BUY/SELL labels on the active chart.
How it supports your process: Trend Screener does not predict markets and is not a signal service. It surfaces a layer of information that is normally hidden across many tabs — current trend direction, when it last flipped, and how many bars it has held — so you can build a more informed rotation view alongside your own analysis.
Run it on a Daily chart to map the trend regime across mega caps and time swing entries. Drop to intraday for shorter-term rotation. The default universe — AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, GOOGL, META, TSLA, AVGO and 32 more — covers the bulk of US large-cap market value, but every slot is editable so you can build any watchlist you want: ETFs, crypto pairs, futures or your own basket.
03 Key Features
Direction changes are computed from confirmed (closed) bar values only. BUY/SELL labels appear after the signal bar closes — no flicker, no rewriting history mid-bar.
An adaptive trend line built from average true range, with a multiplier you can tune for tighter swings or looser, longer-trending behaviour.
Money Flow Index by default for price + volume confirmation. Switch to RSI on instruments with poor volume data (forex, some indices) without changing the trend logic.
A pinned, scroll-stable table shows every monitored symbol with its current direction (▲/▼), signal (BUY/SELL) and bars since the last flip — colour-coded for instant readability.
Each of the 40 slots is editable. Replace defaults with any TradingView symbol — stocks today, ETFs tomorrow, BTC and ETH next week. Enable/disable rows individually.
Crisp on-chart labels in ToolTack green and red, plotted on the trend line at the exact flip bar. Fires once per direction change — no signal spam.
Position the screener in any of four corners, choose Tiny / Small / Normal sizing, or hide it entirely. Designed to stay out of the way of price action.
Native BUY and SELL alert conditions per chart — wire them into TradingView's alert system to get notified the moment the active symbol flips trend.
04 How to Use Trend Screener
Add it to TradingView
Open the Indicators menu → Invite-Only Scripts → select ToolTack Trend Screener and apply it to your chart. The trend line, signals and screener table populate automatically.
Pick a Source and Length
Close and 14 are good defaults for most setups. Shorter lengths (7–10) give faster, twitchier signals; longer lengths (21–30) smooth the trend for swing and position trading.
Tune the Multiplier
The multiplier controls how far the trend line sits from price. 1.0 is the default. Raise it (1.5–2.0) for fewer flips and longer trends; lower it (0.5–0.8) for tighter, more reactive signals.
Choose Volume or RSI mode
Leave No Volume Data off for stocks, ETFs and crypto — MFI uses volume to qualify direction. Toggle it on for forex, indices, or anything where the volume feed is unreliable; the script will fall back to RSI.
Customise the Universe
Open the Symbols group in settings and replace any of the 40 defaults with your own tickers. Untick the checkbox to hide a row without removing its symbol — useful for temporary focus lists.
Read the chart and table together
The on-chart BUY/SELL is the signal for the active symbol. The table is your radar across the rest of the universe — use it to spot fresh flips (low Bars) and persistent leaders (high Bars in the same direction).
05 Strategy Ideas
Educational examples only — always test before using real capital.
Fresh Flips Across the Table
Scan the screener for tickers that just turned ▲ with a low Bars count — these are the freshest BUY signals across mega caps. Pair them with sector strength or relative-strength rankings to pick the strongest candidate.
Active Signal + Broad Tape
When the active chart prints BUY and the screener shows the majority of mega caps already in ▲, the trade is aligned with the broader tape. Higher base rate, cleaner runs.
Lone BUY in a Sea of SELL
A new BUY signal on the active chart while most of the table is ▼ is a contrarian read — still valid, but treat with tighter stops and smaller size until breadth confirms.
Highest "Bars" in Direction
Tickers with the highest Bars count in the same direction are the most extended trends in the universe. Useful for tracking persistent leaders — and for spotting candidates ripe for a mean-reversion fade.
Don't Fade Broad ▲
When the screener shows broad ▲ direction, avoid shorting individual ▲ names — the path of least resistance is up. Save the mean-reversion playbook for ▼ tickers in a ▼ regime.
BUY Label + Pullback
On Daily, treat a BUY label after a clean pullback as a swing entry trigger. The ATR trend line doubles as a built-in trailing stop — exit on a flip to ▼ or a tighter rule of your own.
Reminder: these are educational frameworks, not trade recommendations. Trend signals lag price and can whipsaw in chop. Always validate ideas on historical data and in a simulator before risking real capital, and size positions within your risk plan.
06 Best Tools to Combine With
Trend Screener becomes a lot more powerful when paired with tools that frame where price is and who is acting on it. Stacking complementary ToolTack utilities turns raw trend reads into actionable, structure-aware context.
Pair fresh trend flips with BOS / CHoCH and Fibonacci zones for higher-conviction entries.
Filter BUY signals to those near major support; SELL signals near resistance — context filters noise.
Confirm a flip with institutional-sized prints from the same ToolTack suite for a flow-aware read.
Validate the new trend regime with momentum agreement — skip flips that go against momentum.
Use the ATR trend line as a stop and VWAP as a mean for swing targets and partial profit zones.
Standardise stops on the trend line and size positions consistently across the whole watchlist.

09 Frequently Asked Questions
Does Trend Screener repaint?
No. Direction changes are computed from confirmed (closed) bar values only. BUY/SELL labels are plotted on the bar after the flip and remain anchored — they do not move or vanish as price moves intra-bar.
What is the difference between Volume mode and RSI mode?
The default Volume mode uses Money Flow Index (MFI), which incorporates both price and volume to confirm direction. RSI mode uses price only — switch it on for forex pairs, certain indices and any feed where volume data is unreliable or missing.
Can I change the 40 default symbols?
Yes. Every symbol slot is a standard TradingView symbol input — type any ticker (e.g. BINANCE:BTCUSDT, FX:EURUSD, AMEX:SPY) and the screener will track it. Use the checkbox next to each slot to enable or disable rows without losing your symbol list.
Will the screener slow down my chart?
It pulls data for up to 40 symbols on every bar, so the initial load may take a few seconds and adding/removing symbols can briefly re-render the chart. After that it runs smoothly. Disable rows you don't need to keep things lean.
Why do alerts only fire on the active chart's symbol?
That is a TradingView platform constraint — alertcondition() can only fire on the chart's main symbol. To get alerts on each individual ticker in the screener, add the indicator to each chart and create alerts there, or use TradingView's "Any alert() function call" routing if you set that up separately.
Should I trust BUY/SELL signals on their own?
No. They are decision-support signals, not trade triggers. Trend tools lag price by design and can whipsaw in choppy ranges. Always combine the signal with market structure, key levels, your bias and a defined risk plan before considering a position.
What timeframes work best?
The script works on any timeframe. Daily is the sweet spot for swing trading mega caps. Intraday timeframes from 15m to 4h work well for short-term rotation. Sub-5m can be noisy on mega-cap stocks and is generally better suited to highly liquid futures or crypto pairs.
