New to 1k_scanner? A 5-Minute Start: scan wide, narrow candidates, then focus

When you open 1k_scanner for the first time, the most important thing is not advanced settings. It is the order you use to read the screen.

This guide follows the real app workflow and keeps only what matters for your first five minutes:

Scan wide in a dense grid → narrow with consensus signals → confirm in single chart → record in checknote.

1) What to check first (30 seconds)

At launch, 1k_scanner loads your saved layout (tabs, grid, theme, settings). As a new user, just verify these three items:

Are you in the workspace/tab you actually want (CRYPTO/NASDAQ, then your current tab)?
Is the view in dense grid mode (for broad scan)?
Is data loading normal (no repeated “No data”/loading errors)?

That is enough to start.

The core view model is simple: rows = timeframes, columns = symbols. One column gives you a multi-timeframe view of a single symbol.

In the beginning, prioritize breadth over zoom. First identify where movement is happening, then go deeper.

A common beginner mistake is tracking too many symbols at once. The consensus hotlist and its cues are where you narrow that list quickly.

Interpretation rule matters:

So the job here is not “buy/sell now.” It is “which few charts deserve deeper inspection?”

Once candidates are down to 2–3, then zoom in.

At this stage, avoid heavy prediction questions. Focus on whether structure is repeating consistently.

Without notes, good observations reset by the next session. Use checknote to store criteria, not just outcomes.

A simple 3-line format works well:

Even this small habit improves consistency quickly.

Your first five minutes are not about perfect calls. They are about building a repeatable observation rhythm.

1k_scanner is built to keep that rhythm continuous—from wide market scan to focused review and recorded decisions.
