SFX Screener: General Settings
The SFX Screener is able to scan up to 8 different tickers on different timeframes at once and return relevant information from the SFX Algo. This makes finding setups on your favorite tickers effortless. This article explains the general settings of the SFX Screener tool.
General Configuration
Tickers & Timeframes
You can select up to 8 different tickers to view and choose their respective timeframes. You can also use the same ticker multiple times with different timeframes, simplifying multi-timeframe analysis on the same ticker.
Please note that you should only select a timeframe greater than or equal to your chart’s timeframe.

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.
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.
