# LuxAlgo - Screener (PAC) The LuxAlgo Screener (PAC) tracks Price Action Concepts™ data across up to 10 tickers and timeframes. Rows report the most recent market structure, order block position with buy/sell/total volume, and imbalance status for a chosen type. Premium/discount position, liquidity grabs, equal highs/lows, and a five-grade confluence Rating complete each row. Custom filtering rules and sorting by rating, structure strength, or order block volume shortlist the table. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Feb 20, 2024. - Access: included with ultra, essential, premium, ultimate. - Concepts: [Swing Structure Grammar](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/swing-structure-grammar/) (primary), [Bullish/bearish Order Block](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/bullish-bearish-order-block/), [Fair Value Gap](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/fair-value-gap/), [Liquidity Sweep](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/liquidity-sweep/) - Open Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-screener-pac/ The **LuxAlgo® - Screener (PAC)** streams readings from the [Price Action Concepts™ toolkit](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-price-action-concepts/) for a full watchlist into a single table: up to 10 tickers, each with its own timeframe, so structural setups surface without paging through charts. It serves price action and Smart Money Concepts traders who want to know which market just shifted structure or is sitting inside a point of interest. Access is bundled: having the toolkit automatically grants the PAC screener. ## What's Inside the Screener (PAC)? - **Market columns**: Price, Volume, %Change, and Change anchor each row before the price action data begins. - **Structure**: the most recent market structure returned on the ticker, the CHoCH/BOS state that defines its trend context. - **Order Block columns**: price position relative to the most recent Order Block area, plus Buy OB Volume, Sell OB Volume, and total OB Volume for that block, exposing how significant and how one-sided the zone is. - **Imbalances**: the status of the most recent detected imbalance for a user-selected type (FVG, Inverse FVG, Double FVG, Volume Imbalance, or Opening Gap), bringing [fair value gap](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/fair-value-gap/) monitoring to the whole list. - **P&D Zones**: price position relative to the current premium, equilibrium, or discount zone on the ticker. - **Liquidity Grabs and EQHL**: the most recent detected [liquidity grab](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/liquidity-sweep/) and the most recent equal high/low, flagging where stop-hunts and resting liquidity events just occurred. - **Rating**: a five-grade confluence score computed from the enabled elements per ticker: ▲ Strong Bullish (over 80% of returned information bullish), △ Bullish (60–80%), ― Neutral (40–60%), ▽ Bearish (20–40%), ▼ Strong Bearish (under 20%). - **Filtering**: each element has a filter dropdown; option-based elements select a precise state while numeric elements use Above/Below operators, and multiple conditions combine into one custom screen. - **Sorting**: ascending or descending by Rating, Structure, Structure (Absolute), OB Volume, OB Buy Volume, or OB Sell Volume, with None keeping the configured ticker order. - **Placement**: its own pane by default with six positions (Top/Bottom Center, Right, Left), or drag-and-drop straight onto the price chart. ## How to Trade with the Screener (PAC)? - **Rank by structural strength**: Structure sorting orders rows from the strongest bearish to the strongest bullish structures using the documented ranking (higher consecutive BOS, then CHoCH+, then CHoCH), while Structure (Absolute) ignores direction to surface the most decisive structures of either side. - **Hunt points of interest**: filter for tickers where price sits inside or near the most recent order block and read the OB volume columns to judge which zones carry weight. - **Catch fresh imbalance plays**: set the imbalance type to the gap variant you trade and watch the status column for newly formed or newly mitigated areas across the list. - **Locate events in premium or discount**: a bullish structure event on a ticker also sitting in its discount zone is a higher-quality candidate than the same event at a premium. - **Confirm and execute on the chart**: the screener shortlists; the toolkit's full display on the selected symbol provides the entry, with per-ticker timeframes letting you pre-align the structural picture across resolutions. ## Key Settings & Modes - **Tickers**: 10 slots with individual timeframes; defaults cover BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, SOLUSDT, ADAUSDT, SPX, AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, EURUSD, and GBPUSD. Duplicated ticker/timeframe pairs do not display. - **Screener Elements**: per-element enable toggles, colors, and filter dropdowns. - **Indicator Settings**: Market Structure Length, Order Block Length, Imbalance Type, and EQHL Period control the underlying detections. - **Location**: pane position, plus drag-and-drop onto the chart itself. - **Sorting**: sorted element and direction. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do I get access to the Screener (PAC)? It is a premium companion tool that comes with a LuxAlgo subscription plan, not the free library flow, and it does not load into Quant from this page. Plans that include Price Action Concepts™ automatically include the PAC screener. ### What does the Structure column actually rank? Each row shows the most recent market structure on that ticker, and Structure sorting ranks them by decisiveness: higher consecutive BOS counts outrank CHoCH+, which outranks CHoCH, applied symmetrically to bullish and bearish directions. Structure (Absolute) applies the same ranking with direction ignored. ### Which imbalance types can it screen? The Imbalance Type setting selects one of the toolkit's five documented imbalances (FVG, Inverse FVG, Double FVG, Volume Imbalance, or Opening Gap), and the Imbalances column then reports the most recent status for that type on every ticker. ### How does it compare to the Screener (S&O)? The engine is identical (10 tickers, per-row timeframes, Rating, filtering, sorting, drag-to-chart placement), but this screener reads structural and liquidity features while the [S&O screener](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-screener-s-o/) reads signals, overlays, and dashboard metrics from its own toolkit. Traders running both toolkits often stack the two screeners for cross-methodology confluence. ### Are there limitations to be aware of? Screener computation is intensive, so rare timeouts can occur. Modify any setting or re-add the screener to force recalculation. Mixed watchlists can also show timing inconsistencies because 24/7 crypto markets and exchange-hours markets update their most recent bars on different schedules. ## Related indicators - [Swing Structure Scanner](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/swing-structure-scanner/) (Swing Structure Grammar): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/swing-structure-scanner.md - [HTF Swing Structure Signals](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/htf-swing-structure-signals/) (Swing Structure Grammar): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/htf-swing-structure-signals.md - [Candlestick Structure](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/candlestick-structure/) (Swing Structure Grammar): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/candlestick-structure.md - [Price Action Concepts](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-price-action-concepts/) (Swing Structure Grammar): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-price-action-concepts.md - [Market Structure (Intrabar)](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-intrabar/) (Swing Structure Grammar): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-intrabar.md - [Market Structure Oscillator](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-oscillator/) (Swing Structure Grammar): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-structure-oscillator.md - [Order Block Detector](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-block-detector/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-block-detector.md - [Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-blocks-breaker-blocks/) (Bullish/bearish Order Block): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/order-blocks-breaker-blocks.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/luxalgo-screener-pac/ (LuxAlgo Library).
