Output

Returns JSON with:

• scan_date - Timestamp of scan
• symbols_scanned - Total symbols analyzed
• results - Array sorted by score (highest first):
  • symbol, score, price
  • next_earnings, earnings_timing (BMO/AMC)
  • period_return_pct, pct_from_sma20, pct_from_sma50
  • rsi, macd, macd_signal, macd_hist, adx, dmp, dmn
  • ema9, ema21 — current EMA9 and EMA21 values
  • ema_crossover - Most recent EMA9/EMA21 crossover (or null if none found):
    • direction - "up" (EMA9 crossed above EMA21 = bullish) or "down" (crossed below = bearish)
    • days_ago - Trading days since the crossover bar (0 = happened in the most recent bar)
  • macd_crossover - Most recent MACD crossover (or null if none found):
    • direction - "up" (MACD crossed above signal = bullish) or "down" (crossed below = bearish)
    • days_ago - Trading days since the crossover bar (0 = happened in the most recent bar)
  • signals - List of triggered conditions

EMA Crossover Interpretation

• EMA9 > EMA21 with small days_ago (0-5): fresh golden cross — short-term momentum confirmed
• EMA9 just crossed below EMA21: death cross — short-term momentum turning negative
• EMA9 crossover lagging MACD crossover by days: normal — MACD leads, EMA confirms
• null: EMA9/21 relationship unchanged throughout the period

MACD Crossover Interpretation

• direction: "up" with small days_ago (0-5): fresh bullish crossover — early entry signal
• direction: "up" from a deeply negative signal: recovery from correction
• direction: "down": momentum has turned bearish regardless of score
• null: no sign change found in the period — trend has been consistently one-directional

Examples

# Scan a few symbols
uv run python scripts/scan.py AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL,NVDA,TSLA

# Get top 10 from larger list
uv run python scripts/scan.py AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL,NVDA,TSLA,AMD,AMZN,META --top 10

# Use 6-month lookback
uv run python scripts/scan.py AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL --period 6mo

Interpretation

• Score > 6: Strong bullish trend
• Score 4-6: Moderate bullish
• Score 2-4: Neutral/weak
• Score < 2: Bearish or no trend
