Thread for Setting up ToS Scanners based on how I do it.
High Volume Scan:

Go to the Scan tab in ToS. It might have fields, just 'x' them out so it looks like mine. Then click the "add filter button"

Click 'stock' from the menu and it should add a scan query into your filter section. Click the drop down menu next to stock and select close and put in your minimum amount. I prefer 10
Next click add filter again, then stock. This will add yet another stock filter to your scan menu. I set this to market cap and put 500 into the box. The numbers are in millions to keep it easier:
Add filter again, but this time select 'study' which will place a new menu in your filter section. There should be a pencil to the right, click it to edit the study. We will place our code in here:
The window below will pop up. Ignore the Conditions window for now and click the thinkScript Editor and delete everything in it:
Add the code shown below. This will help you learn the logic of thinkscript by writing it out yourself. Ive found thats the best way to learn code at first, just typing it out helps you catch common errors that pop up. Then click OK:
Finally, click the 'Scan In' button shown below and in categories select the 'All Optionable' option. This for me has returned the best results. Other options have brought back warrants and other odd results.
Then hit the big green scan button and POW. You've got a scan you can run every night, especially during earnings season to catch those big vol rippers.

Then you can check it against my scan here:

But dont you feel better building something yourself?
If you want to save this for the future, which can also be used in your WL for faster chart scanning, just click the little hamburger menu shown below and save the query out. Happy scanning, and I will be posting more of my scans throughout the coming days.
If you have any tips, or tricks for me to add in to scanning PLEASE let me know, Im learning with the rest of you as I go and just want to help others out.

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
