Output

Returns JSON with:

• scan_date - Timestamp of scan
• symbols_scanned - Total symbols analyzed
• results - Array sorted by score (highest first):

- symbol, score, price - nextearnings, earningstiming (BMO/AMC) - periodreturnpct, pctfromsma20, pctfromsma50 - rsi, macd, macdsignal, macdhist, adx, dmp, dmn - ema9, ema21 — current EMA9 and EMA21 values - emacrossover - Most recent EMA9/EMA21 crossover (or null if none found): - direction - "up" (EMA9 crossed above EMA21 = bullish) or "down" (crossed below = bearish) - daysago - Trading days since the crossover bar (0 = happened in the most recent bar) - macdcrossover - Most recent MACD crossover (or null if none found): - direction - "up" (MACD crossed above signal = bullish) or "down" (crossed below = bearish) - daysago - 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
