Feature Request: Request for Full Customization of Indicators & Timeframes in ScanX

ScanX Ideas
1

Hi Dhan Team,

First of all, huge appreciation for building ScanX! It is an awesome screener portal with incredible potential to change how Indian traders scan the markets. I love the platform and the smooth experience Dhan continuously delivers.

However, I am currently unable to make full use of ScanX because the indicators in the scanner have fixed default values and limited timeframe selections. To make ScanX a truly power-packed scanner (on par with platforms like Chartink), enabling deep customization of indicator parameters is critical.

Here are the specific enhancements that would make ScanX an absolute game-changer for swing and momentum traders:

1. EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

  • Current Limitation: Only default period values and limited timeframe selections are available.

  • Requested Feature:

    • Allow users to manually input custom EMA lengths (e.g., 21, 55, 100, 200, 250).

    • Expand timeframe options to include Weekly and Monthly charts (currently missing or limited).

2. ATR (Average True Range)

  • Current Limitation: Fixed length of 14, with timeframes restricted to only 5min, 15min, and 1day.

  • Requested Feature:

    • Option to change the ATR lookback period/length.

    • Add multi-timeframe support including 1-Hour, 2-Hour, Weekly, and Monthly.

3. Supertrend

  • Current Limitation: Locked to a single default parameter of (7, 3) with only 5min, 15min, and 1day timeframes.

  • Requested Feature:

    • Custom inputs for both ATR Period and Multiplier (e.g., 10,2 / 10,3 / 14,2).

    • Add Weekly and Monthly timeframes to scan for higher-timeframe trend alignments.

4. RSI (Relative Strength Index)

  • Current Limitation: Restricted parameters and fixed timeframe choices.

  • Requested Feature:

    • Custom length selection (e.g., 10, 14, 21).

    • Full timeframe flexibility from intraday up to Monthly.

5. Candle Historical Offset / Lookback Options

  • Current Limitation: Candle selection is restricted to only “Current Candle” or “Previous Candle”.

  • Requested Feature:

    • Allow custom candle lookback offsets (e.g., 1 candle ago, 2 candles ago, N candles ago, or scanning for occurrences within the last X candles).

    • Reference platforms like Chartink execute this exceptionally well by letting traders build complex multi-candle logic.

Why This Matters

Many swing trading setups rely on multi-timeframe momentum filters (for instance, filtering stocks with Weekly RSI > 50/60 or aligning custom EMA 55 / EMA 250 trends on daily/weekly charts). Without custom indicator inputs and multi-candle offsets, traders are forced to rely on third-party screeners instead of staying within the Dhan ecosystem.

Adding these customization options will make ScanX one of the most powerful stock screeners in India, and I’m sure the entire Dhan trading community would benefit immensely from this update.

Looking forward to seeing these features in upcoming updates!

Thanks & Best Regards,
