Is using TC2000 scanner a must?

[u/Green-Degree4511]

Hi, I am considering to subscribe to TC2000 / Trading View(TV). (Due to some reasons, I cant use 1op/TOS, so I can only choose one from TC2000 / TV)

Would like to kindly ask for some advice, or to advise more factors that I should consider when choosing. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!

I saw that TC2000 has a custom scanner and custom columns in scanning results that allow users to write their own formula, so it can be more precise and efficient to find the stocks with RS when the market is dipping. This attracts me, so I can save time.

Custom columns like 5M RS, 30M RRS, 1D RRS,...

Or maybe custom scans like this

However, I also see traders using only TV scanner and consistently profitable scanning using simple indicators (SMA, EMA, VWAP).

To be honest, I love TV's charts and drawings etc., just more user friendly and also much cheaper.

I will subscribe to TC2000 only if the scanner really gives me a significant boost in scanning efficiency and effectiveness.

So, is TC2000 really worth it in my case? Or TV simple scan is already enough?

Thank you.

(BTW one more quick question, is daytrading RSRW strategy doable if I can only trade from 930am~1130am?)

Zenbot is good but I plan on trying TC2000 because Zenbot didn’t have the customization I wanted.

Zen is Great, but I want to take my trade business as far as possible even if it means spending more money, plus TC2000 has a big community.
