How this works / assumptions
Upper band = EMA(close, emaPeriod) + k × StdDev(close, stdevPeriod); lower band = EMA(close, emaPeriod) − k × StdDev(close, stdevPeriod). Same formula and same look-ahead-safe convention as the crypto version (every candle tested against the band from the previous closed candle). StdDev smoothing works identically.
Data source: a Cloudflare Worker proxies two things Bybit gave the original tool for free: (1) Yahoo Finance's chart API for OHLC candles — unlike Bybit, Yahoo doesn't reliably allow direct browser CORS calls, hence the worker; (2) the Russell 2000 constituent list, sourced from IWM's public holdings CSV (the ETF tracking the index), refreshed daily.
"F&O supporting": almost every Russell 2000 constituent already has listed options in the US — there's no NSE-style restricted F&O list here. The universe is effectively "Russell 2000," full stop; a handful of very illiquid tail names may have thin or no options chain, which this tool doesn't currently filter for.
Max symbols (Data Source panel): ranks by IWM's index weight and keeps the top-N when no explicit symbol filter is set — a practical stand-in for "liquid enough to matter," since weight roughly tracks float-adjusted market cap.
Scan date is a single US market session (9:30–16:00 America/New_York, DST-aware) rather than a UTC calendar day — equities aren't 24/7 like perpetuals. Only the Signal has to land inside that session; Episode Start and Extreme Price can sit any distance before it.
Timeframes: 15m/30m/1h/1D. No 4h — Yahoo has no native 4h bar for equities and a synthetic one doesn't divide the 6.5h session cleanly, so it's dropped rather than faked.
Peak Search = truncated now has a concrete, common cause beyond just "hit Max lookback bars": Yahoo's own history horizon per interval (roughly 60 days for 15m/30m, ~2 years for 1h, unlimited for 1D). The worker flags this explicitly (clipped) when it happens, so a 15m scan reaching more than ~2 months back will often show truncated legitimately, not from a bug.
Confirmed / Gap ATR / Gap % / Precision timeframe all work exactly as in the crypto version — see inline field labels above.
