SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires uv, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Cross-scan helps you avoid acting on a single technical or flow signal by identifying tickers that repeatedly appear across multiple independent scan strategies on the same day.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Aggregates scan consensus: Cross-references momentum, base-breakout, mean-reversion, and unusual-options and reports tickers that show up in 2+ scans as higher-agreement candidates.
  • Optional freshness refresh: With refresh enabled, it can re-run any stale or missing sister scan first (based on snapshot age) so the overlap is based on current state.
  • Actionable prioritization output: Produces a ranked, human-readable overlap report plus a JSON option, including a heuristic “composite read” that describes the overlap pattern (e.g., pre-breakout + call flow, pullback in a leader, bearish positioning warnings).

Quick Start

Run cross-scan to show today’s highest-agreement tickers from momentum-scan, base-breakout-scan, mean-reversion-scan, and unusual-options-scan, then review the overlap header for any stale-scan warnings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find stock tickers that overlap across multiple technical and options flow scans?

To find overlapping stock tickers across multiple technical and options flow scans, cross-reference the latest state snapshots from momentum, base-breakout, mean-reversion, and unusual-options scans, joining by ticker and enforcing a configurable minimum overlap threshold to prioritize research candidates.

What is scan consensus in stock scanning and why does it matter?

Scan consensus in stock scanning identifies tickers appearing in two or more independent technical and options-flow strategies on the same day, reducing the risk of acting on a single isolated technical or flow indicator.

How do I generate a daily watchlist from stacked technical and options flow signals?

Generate a daily watchlist from stacked signals by running cross-scan after the sister scans complete, reading the latest history snapshots, joining tickers appearing in two or more scans, and outputting a ranked report with a heuristic composite read of the overlap pattern.

Can I automate refreshing stale stock scan data before checking ticker overlaps?

You can automate refreshing stale stock scan data before checking ticker overlaps by enabling the freshness refresh option, which re-runs any sister scan with aged or missing snapshots first, ensuring the overlap report aligns with current state and reports per-scan staleness.

Do I need Python automation and uv to run cross-scan for technical analysis?

You need Python automation and the uv dependency to run cross-scan for technical analysis, as it coordinates reading state snapshots from the four sister scan directories and executing optional stale-data refresh workflows.

What are the limitations of using a minimum overlap threshold for stock scanning?

A limitation of using a minimum overlap threshold for stock scanning is that it strictly filters out tickers appearing in only one scan, potentially missing valid candidates with strong but isolated technical or options flow signals that have not yet reached multi-scan consensus.
