Short answer
The regular Screener cannot run a custom Pine script. Use Pine Screener with a compatible indicator instead.
What you may be seeing
- Your Pine indicator is missing from the Stock Screener filters
- You cannot select a custom script in the standard Screener
- A community indicator does not appear as a regular Screener condition
Most likely causes
- The standard TradingView Screener only uses built-in filters
- Custom Pine scanning is handled through Pine Screener
Try this first
- Open Pine Screener rather than the regular Screener
- Use a compatible indicator script
- Make sure the script exposes data through plot() or alertcondition() as required
- Add the relevant script to favorites if needed for Pine Screener access
If that didn’t fix it
- Recreate the condition with built-in Screener filters when possible
- Use alerts rather than screening if your use case only needs notifications
Verify the fix
Open Pine Screener and confirm the compatible script can be selected and used to scan symbols.
Why this happens
TradingView’s standard screeners use built-in filters rather than arbitrary Pine scripts. TradingView provides a separate Pine Screener for compatible scripts that expose plot() or alertcondition() values.
