can you please tell me why there is a different in the results ?
My multitime frame is in day for both the conditions
Scan for Multitime frame(day, High(-1) crosses above Period max(100, High(-2) ) ) on 15 Minute candles using candlestick chart
55 Scan results
Scan for Multitime frame(day, High(-1) crosses above Period max(100, High(-2) ) ) on Daily candles using candlestick chart
25 Scan results
Hi @karthik_subramani
Streak fetches data as per the base timeframe selected. For example, if the base timeframe of your scanner is set as 15 minutes you can only fetch data for 90 calendar days at a time. This is because the lookback period depends on the base timeframe of your strategy/scanner.
The lookback period for timeframes is as follows:
1 min candle interval = 30 days
3-30 min candle interval = 90 days
1 hour candle interval = 365 days
A day candle interval = 5 years
In your case, you have kept the base timeframe as 15mins and used the MTF function to check your conditions on the daily timeframe. And your condition is to check the Highest high in the last 100 daily candles from the -2 candle. This means that the system requires at least 102 daily candles from the current candle to check your condition.
However, as explained above, because the base timeframe is 15mins the maximum data that the system will fetch is 90 calendar days, but as per your condition, the system requires at least 102 candles due to which the results are not matching with your other scanner condition (i.e. one where the base timeframe is Daily).
Additionally, the conditions will be checked as per the data available. So all scanner results are correct, however as the charts have all the data, there can be some discrepancies while verifying the alerts of the scanner (in your case where the candle interval is 15mins). Thus, to cross-verify this and get similar results, you can keep the base timeframe of the 15min scanner as 1 hour and you will notice that both scanners (1 hour and Daily timeframe scanner) will give the same number of results.
Moreover, if you want to get alerts after the closing of 15min candle you can keep the base timeframe of your scanner as 1 hour or Daily and then take the scanner “To Live” by keeping the alert frequency as 15mins and this shall work fine too.
Hope this clarifies.
