Why one timeframe per scan isn’t enough
Good setups usually line up across timeframes: the higher timeframe gives direction, the middle one confirms momentum, and the lower one gives the trigger. Most screeners force one timeframe for the whole scan, so you end up checking the others by hand. In CryptoScanX, each side of each condition can use its own timeframe.
How it works
- The scan timeframe is the clock. It sets how often the scan checks and what “crosses above” compares — consecutive bars of that timeframe.
- Each operand can override it. “1h Close > 1h SMA(20)” on a 15m scan checks the 1h values every 15 minutes.
- Higher timeframes are read on closed candles. A 15m scan never sees a 4h candle that hasn’t closed yet, so there is no look-ahead.
- Bars-ago works everywhere. “Daily close > daily high 1 bar ago” or “1h OI > 1h OI 1 bar ago × 2”.

Clearing last week’s high with the daily trend already up.
Open interest and funding are available on 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d. Other indicators work on all 7 timeframes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use different timeframes in one crypto scan?
Yes. Every operand in a CryptoScanX condition can have its own timeframe — for example 15m VWAP, 1h RSI and 4h EMAs together.
Does the scanner repaint higher timeframes?
No. Higher-timeframe values are taken from closed candles only, so a lower-timeframe scan never uses a candle that hasn’t finished.
Is there a 1-minute crypto scanner?
Yes — 1m is a Premium timeframe. 1-minute candles are streamed live for every coin, and any candle-based indicator can use them.
Are weekly and monthly scans supported?
Yes. 1w and 1mo candles are built from daily data with exact week and month boundaries (UTC).
