You have 2 choices: 1) Inspect each and every chart every now and then OR 2) Create a scanner that will send you trading alerts when the moving average crossover happens in any scrip.Creating a Zerodha Pi Scanner:Open and login to Zerodha Pi. We will create a simple scanner that will alert us if open and low of any Nifty 50 stocks are same. We can load the Nifty 50 stocks market watch from File – Predefined Workspace – NSE – Nifty 50. Now create a new scanner, click Alerts – Scanner.Give the scanner name of OPEN = LOW and write this script inside OPEN = LOW. Say we will check open and low same in 4 hours candle.

Hence select Periodicity = Hour and Bar Interval = 4, select Days = 1 and click on Add Symbols.We will be scanning from Nifty 50 stocks. Hence in Add Symbol window select Default Symbols and from the dropdown menu select Nifty 50. Click on add.This will show OPEN = LOW 51 symbols loaded.Now click on OK.
This will create the scanner, but the scanner is not yet running as we have not loaded it. Click on load and this will load the symbols.Now as and when a scrip’s open and low will be same in any candle the Zerodha Pi scanner will highlight the scrip in yellow and will generate trading alerts.

We just opened the chart and checked YESBANK last 15 minutes candle OPEN = LOW logic is fulfilled. Check the image below:Same way you can write a scanner code open high same formula and scan for open high low same strategy.
