Bullish Scanner

Scans symbols for bullish trends and ranks them by composite score.

Instructions

Note: If uv is not installed or pyproject.toml is not found, replace uv run python with python in all commands below.

uv run python scripts/scan.py SYMBOLS [--top N] [--period PERIOD]

Arguments

  • SYMBOLS - Comma-separated ticker symbols (e.g., AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL,NVDA)
  • --top - Number of top results to return (default: 30)
  • --period - Historical period for analysis: 1mo, 3mo, 6mo (default: 3mo)

Scoring System (max ~9.5 points)

Output

Returns JSON with:

  • scan_date - Timestamp of scan
  • symbols_scanned - Total symbols analyzed
  • results - Array sorted by score (highest first):
    • symbol, score, price
    • next_earnings, earnings_timing (BMO/AMC)
    • period_return_pct, pct_from_sma20, pct_from_sma50
    • rsi, macd, macd_signal, macd_hist, adx, dmp, dmn
    • ema9, ema21 — current EMA9 and EMA21 values
    • ema_crossover - Most recent EMA9/EMA21 crossover (or null if none found):
      • direction - "up" (EMA9 crossed above EMA21 = bullish) or "down" (crossed below = bearish)
      • days_ago - Trading days since the crossover bar (0 = happened in the most recent bar)
    • macd_crossover - Most recent MACD crossover (or null if none found):
      • direction - "up" (MACD crossed above signal = bullish) or "down" (crossed below = bearish)
      • days_ago - Trading days since the crossover bar (0 = happened in the most recent bar)
    • signals - List of triggered conditions

EMA Crossover Interpretation

  • EMA9 > EMA21 with small days_ago (0-5): fresh golden cross — short-term momentum confirmed
  • EMA9 just crossed below EMA21: death cross — short-term momentum turning negative
  • EMA9 crossover lagging MACD crossover by days: normal — MACD leads, EMA confirms
  • null: EMA9/21 relationship unchanged throughout the period

MACD Crossover Interpretation

  • direction: "up" with small days_ago (0-5): fresh bullish crossover — early entry signal
  • direction: "up" from a deeply negative signal: recovery from correction
  • direction: "down": momentum has turned bearish regardless of score
  • null: no sign change found in the period — trend has been consistently one-directional

Examples

# Scan a few symbols
uv run python scripts/scan.py AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL,NVDA,TSLA

# Get top 10 from larger list
uv run python scripts/scan.py AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL,NVDA,TSLA,AMD,AMZN,META --top 10

# Use 6-month lookback
uv run python scripts/scan.py AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL --period 6mo

Interpretation

  • Score > 6: Strong bullish trend
  • Score 4-6: Moderate bullish
  • Score 2-4: Neutral/weak
  • Score < 2: Bearish or no trend

Dependencies

  • pandas
  • pandas-ta
