PAT Screener General Settings

The PAT Screener is able to scan up to 8 different tickers on different timeframes at once and return relevant information from the Price Action Toolkit. This makes finding price action setups on your favorite tickers effortless. This article explains the general settings of the PAT Screener tool.

Tickers & Timeframes

Important Notes

TradingView has limitations when running advanced screeners, resulting in the following restrictions:

Computation Errors

The computation of using MTF features and viewing several tickers is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again.

If you are constantly running into calculation timeout issues, try decreasing the ‘Max Distance to Bar’ setting under the ‘General Configurations’ section.

Inconsistencies

You may notice inconsistencies when viewing the screener on a chart with a specific symbol because screener tickers originate from different markets.

Since the cryptocurrency market operates 24/7, while stock markets have defined opening and closing hours, the screener may return varying information depending on whether you're currently viewing a cryptocurrency, stock, or currency pair.
