Good TradingView crypto screener settings for day trading
Whatever tool you use, a day-trading screen needs four filters, in this order:
- Liquidity first. Filter out thin markets — a minimum 24h volume (for example $10M+) keeps spreads and slippage sane.
- Something is happening. A change filter (for example up more than 3% today) or a relative-volume filter (volume at least 2× normal).
- Trend context. Price above a long moving average (EMA 200 on your trading timeframe) for longs, below for shorts.
- Momentum, not exhaustion. RSI between roughly 55 and 75 catches strength without chasing the most stretched coins.
For scalping, run the same idea on lower timeframes and tighten liquidity — scalps need the deepest books.
Where a futures-first scanner helps
Perpetual futures have information that price charts alone don’t show. CryptoScanX was built around it:
- Open interest change as a condition — tell new money from short covering. How to read OI →
- Funding rate as a condition — find the crowded side before it gets squeezed.
- Each condition on its own timeframe — 15m trigger, 1h momentum, 4h trend in one scan, checked on closed candles.
- Alerts on the scan itself — a push notification the moment a new coin matches, across 900+ perps.
Many traders use both: TradingView to chart and analyse, a scanner to find which of 900 markets deserve a chart in the first place.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TradingView crypto screener free?
TradingView offers a crypto screener on its free plan with some limits; check TradingView’s site for current plan details. CryptoScanX also has a free plan, focused on scanning futures with open interest and funding.
What are the best screener settings for crypto day trading?
Filter liquidity first (24h volume), then activity (change % or relative volume), then trend (price vs EMA 200), then momentum (RSI 55–75). On futures, add open interest change to keep only moves funded by new positions.
Can I scan open interest on TradingView?
TradingView shows open interest on charts for many futures symbols. CryptoScanX lets you use OI change as a scan condition across every perpetual at once and alerts you when a coin qualifies.
Do I have to stop using TradingView?
No. Use TradingView for charting and analysis, and CryptoScanX to find which coins are worth charting right now.
