Find Reversal Setups with the Doji Screener
What this helps you do
This guide walks you through how to use the Doji Screener to spot potential reversal setups and confirm them on your chart using PayDay Cycle logic. It shows you how to connect the screener’s signals with practical chart review so you can identify momentum shifts with more clarity and intention.
This matters because reversal setups can move fast, and the Doji Screener helps you catch them without checking charts one by one, giving you an easier way to stay ahead of interesting shifts in price behavior.
When to use this
Use this guide when you want to:
Although you can open the Doji Screener intraday, the most reliable signals come from Dojis that are forming or have just formed near the daily close. That is where the PayDay Cycle logic is strongest and you are less likely to react to intraday noise.
Before you start
This guide assumes you already have a basic understanding of:
(See: “Heikin-Ashi Charts Reference Guide” in the Resource Center.)
(See: “Doji Candles: What They Mean And How To Spot Them” in the Resource Center.)
(See: “PayDay Cycle Framework Overview” in the Resource Center.)
If you are an All-Access member and have access to the 90-Day Roadmap for Swing Traders, you will recognize many of the concepts here. You do not need the Roadmap to follow this guide, but it can give you extra context.
Step 1: Open the Doji Screener near the market close
Running the screener near the close gives you Doji signals that are based on almost-complete daily candles, which makes them more meaningful for PayDay Cycle style swings.
Step 2: Choose your stock universe and basic filters
At the top of the Doji Screener, choose the universe of stocks you want to scan. Common choices include:
The goal is to see a manageable list of Doji candidates, not every possible Doji in the market.
Step 3: Shortlist a small group of promising symbols
Once the Screener has returned a list of Doji setups:
Aim to narrow the list down to something you can realistically review in detail, for example:
You are not trying to trade every Doji. You are trying to find the few that make sense in a healthy PayDay Cycle context.
Step 4: Check the larger trend and PayDay Cycle context
For each candidate, start by zooming out.
On each chart:
If the Doji is floating in the middle of nowhere or fighting a clear trend that you do not want to bet against, drop that symbol and move on.
Step 5: Confirm your PayDay Cycle criteria
Next, bring in your PayDay Cycle rules.
For each candidate that survives the first pass:
If a chart does not line up with your PayDay Cycle logic, skip it. The Screener is there to bring you candidates, not to override your judgment.
Step 6: Use the One-Click Doji Price Alert to mark key levels
One of the biggest advantages of the Doji Screener is the One-Click Doji Price Alert.
When you find a promising setup:
This is especially useful when:
You can also combine the automated alert with your own manual alerts on the chart if you want to track related levels, such as moving averages or channel boundaries.
Step 7: Define your entry, protective level, and target idea
For each setup that still looks attractive, write down a simple trade idea. For example:
You do not have to dial in every detail inside this guide. If you have a personal trade plan template from your Roadmap or your own journal, this is where you plug the Doji Screener setups into that template.
Step 8: Turn tonight’s work into tomorrow’s game plan
After you have gone through your list:
Tomorrow, you can:
Over time, this becomes a short, repeatable end-of-day routine:

If you have access to the 90-Day Roadmap for Swing Traders, you can revisit the units on PayDay Cycle entries and exits to line up this workflow with your existing trade plan.
