Using the Trendscanner: DYOR's analytical heart

The Trendscanner is the feature you'll use most on DYOR. Its purpose is simple to state: browse the 1,200+ crypto pairs scanned by the platform, and keep only those that meet the criteria you define. Less simple in practice: using it well can save you hours every week and significantly improve the quality of your coin selection.

The problem the Trendscanner solves

Without a filtering tool, here's what a manual crypto trader does: open 30 TradingView tabs, zoom in, zoom out, look for "coins that are going up with a reasonable RSI and good volume". Result: an hour later, he's looked at 15, he's tired, and he's probably missed the best ones.

The Trendscanner automates this sorting. You tell it what you're looking for — a bullish trend on the 4h, an RSI between 40 and 60, a 24h volume above average — and it gives you the list of matching pairs, refreshed with each scan (every few hours).

The anatomy of the Trendscanner

When you open the Trendscanner, you see three main zones:

• The filter bar at the top: each filter adds a constraint to the list (trend, indicator, volume, patterns, etc.).
• Customizable columns: you choose which metrics to display (RSI 1h, RSI 4h, ADX, distance to 200 EMA, etc.).
• Result rows: one per pair, clickable to open the detailed view of the coin.

In the top right, you also have a presets selector: saved filter + column configurations that you can recall with one click. That's where most of the time savings happen.

Building your first filter

Let's take a concrete example. Say you're looking for coins in clear bullish trend, not yet overbought, with volume.

1. Trend: "Trend DYOR" filter → value "Bullish" or "Strong Bullish".
2. Momentum: "RSI 4h" filter → between 45 and 65 (neither too low nor overheated).
3. Trend strength: "ADX 4h" filter → above 20 (established trend).
4. Volume: "Volume 24h" filter → above 7-day average.

Run the filter. You typically get 30 to 80 pairs out of 1,200+. That's already much more manageable, and especially it's a pre-selection based on your own criteria, not on a whim of the moment.

Columns: display what matters

By default, the Trendscanner displays a few basic columns. You can add as many as you want via the "Columns" menu. Some useful combinations:

• Multi-timeframe: display RSI 1h, 4h, 1D side by side to spot alignments.
• Volume & volatility: volume ratio, CMF, normalized ATR, choppiness — to confirm moves.
• DYOR Score: our composite score that aggregates trend + momentum + price action.

Tip: sort on a column by clicking its header. Sort by descending score + bullish filter = your top opportunities right now.

Presets: your time shortcut

Once you find a filter + column combination that works, save it as a preset. You can create as many as you want:

• My 4h swings: bullish filters, neutral RSI, strong ADX, rising volume.
• Reversals: multi-TF oversold RSI, divergence detected, near a support.
• Pump alerts: abnormal volume + trendline breakout.

When you open the Trendscanner, a click on a preset instantly applies the configuration. No more manual setup every session.

Pitfalls to avoid

• Too many filters: the more you stack, the smaller your sample. A scan that returns 2 pairs out of 1,200 is often not "very selective", it's "badly calibrated". Aim for 20-50 results to have options.
• Filter without looking at context: a coin that checks all your technical boxes could be in the middle of a major dump on the 1D. Always open the detailed view before making a decision.
• Forgetting that data is refreshed by scan: DYOR scans every few hours. Between scans, an "RSI 4h = 55" could have become "RSI 4h = 72" on exchanges. Always check the scan timestamp in the top right.

What's next?

The Trendscanner is an entry point, not a buy signal. Once you have your shortlist, best practice is:

1. Open the detailed view of each interesting coin (multi-TF chart, indicators, detected patterns, divergences).
2. Cross-reference with your own key levels and your view of the broader market (BTC dominance, sentiment).
3. Set an alert via the "Alerts" button so you don't have to stare at the screen.
