Key point

Searching for an intraday moving average crossover scanner or a candlestick pattern screener? In Trade Ideas, this is Streaming Alerts: each alert is tied to one candle length, and you pick the length by picking the alert.

Streaming Alerts push each End Of Candle alert the moment it fires.

End Of Candle is the Trade Ideas category for alerts built from completed intraday candles: period moving average crossovers, upward and downward thrusts (the 8 and 20 period SMAs both rising, or both falling, for 5 periods), and the candlestick pattern alerts. Many alerts elsewhere in the help report on an individual print without waiting for the candle to finish; this category groups the candle-based ones.
