Chartink scan converter

Paste a Chartink scan_clause and get the same scan in Sift, ready to run — and then the thing Chartink cannot tell you, which is what its matches did next.

In Chartink, this is the text in the scan editor — or the scan_clause field of a shared scan.

What translates

  • Moving averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ADX and the rest of the daily indicator set.
  • Offsets — 1 day ago close becomes close[-1].
  • Crossovers, as their own operator rather than a pair of comparisons.
  • and, or, sub-groups, and the F&O segment.

What does not

Anything intraday. This dataset holds one bar per trading day, published after the close, so a 15-minute crossover has no data underneath it rather than a slower version of itself. VWAP and the trade-book fields go the same way, and a saved Chartink watchlist is a list of symbols on your account that nothing here can stand in for. The converter says which clause it could not carry, and refuses the whole scan rather than handing back a shorter one.

More on the two languages side by side in translating Chartink formulas to Sift, the full language reference, and how the two screeners compare.
