Scan recipes, and what they can't see.
Every scan below was run against Chartink and returned a sane result set before it was published. Each page states the exact conditions, and — the part usually left out — exactly which parts of the setup a scanner cannot judge, because a scan is bar arithmetic and a chart pattern is not.
Read this before running any of them. Chartink accepts invalid conditions without complaining. In testing, a clause containing a nonsense token returned the same number of rows as the correct version, and a clause with no comparison in it returned every stock in the segment. A list of results is not proof the scan did what you meant — always spot-check a few names against the stated conditions.

Stocks closing above their highest high of the last six months, with today's volume at least 1.5× the recent average.
See the conditionsHammer candle into a prior floor
Hammer-geometry candles that traded down into a 20-session floor that already existed a month earlier, and closed back above it.
See the conditionsBullish engulfing after a decline
Two-bar reversals where today's body fully covers yesterday's down candle, and the decline into it was still printing fresh lows.
See the conditionsConsolidating near a 52-week high
Stocks pausing in a tight range within 5% of their 52-week high — and deliberately NOT breaking out today.
