Job Title:
**Stock Gap and Base Pattern Scanner – Real-Time or Intraday Data**
---
Job Description:
I’m looking to hire a developer to build a custom stock scanner that identifies intraday trading setups based on two criteria:
1. **Gaps** at market open (either up or down)
2. **Base patterns** that form after the gap
This will be used as a tool to identify potential day and swing trade candidates.
---
What the Scanner Should Do:
- **Input:**
- Scan a universe of stocks (S&P 500 or a custom watchlist)
- Pull previous day’s OHLC (Open/High/Low/Close)
- Pull current day’s intraday data (1-min or 5-min candles preferred)
- **Gap Detection Logic:**
- Identify stocks that gapped up/down more than X% from previous close (e.g., 3%)
- **Base Pattern Logic:**
- After the gap, detect price consolidation:
- Defined by a tight price range over a time window (e.g., 20–60 mins)
- Optionally detect volume decrease or flattening volatility
- **Output:**
- Display list of qualifying stocks
- Include key info: ticker, gap %, time of base, price range, etc.
- Output format: CLI, CSV/Excel, or lightweight GUI/dashboard (open to discussion)
---
Data Requirements:
- You’ll need access to intraday data. Please specify:
- Which data provider/API you recommend (free or paid)
- Any existing experience working with them
---
Tech Stack:
- Preferred: Python (Pandas, Plotly/Dash, Streamlit), Node.js also fine
- If using an API (e.g., IEX Cloud, Alpaca, Polygon.io), please include setup instructions or wrap it in a simple config
---
Deliverables:
- Working prototype or script
- Documentation and setup instructions
- Optional: ability to run live or with delayed data
- Bonus: alert system (email/notification) if certain patterns are detected
---
Ideal Developer:
- Experience working with stock market data (especially intraday)
- Familiarity with technical analysis patterns
- Bonus: experience with trading platforms (e.g., TradingView, Thinkorswim scripting, Alpaca)
---
- Open to proposals – please include a quote and estimated timeline.
---
Would you like me to also create a short “what this program is for” paragraph that you can use if someone asks follow-up questions like “what’s the trading strategy” or “what’s the goal”?
