Hi there, I'm a programmer and I've been doing research on making something to help with trading, and possibly automating it completely. I've only just been learning about it from your posts/videos so far and this is excellent research material in helping with that.
I've been looking at trading bots like Gekko, blackbird, tribeca, etc. but they didn't seem to reliably make money as reported by some of their users. I'm sure if you plug in the right algorithms they may but they don't seem to be there yet and I haven't tested them yet. So it still makes sense you would want to do the trades manually for now.
What you're describing as a scanner seems like something very doable though and I'm sure people will be able to make them do exactly what you want. I myself have been excited to work on something and see what I can come up with but I don't really have any money right now so I've been working on other stuff still so we shall see how it goes. I think what would help is if there was a precise set of requirements written out and a set of tasks to do and possibly even an open source project people could submit code to. What language would it be written in though? I could go through the video again later when I have time and organize things into a project on github or gitlab and separate the tasks and whatnot.
I hired a programmer once to write me and EA for MT4 for forex, I was trying to automate some trading idea, it didnt work out so great, leaving the decisions to a computer.. Every trade is different and its hard to let a computer press the buttons..
Honestly all I need is an alert system, a scanner, that lets me know when something is dropping.. Then I will react using my experience to guide me.

Yeah that's exactly what I thought would be the case.
It would certainly make it more challenging to automate it and require a fairly sophisticated AI to operate things properly, especially if it was to be able to take good or bad news into consideration somehow. But maybe it could also be driven by some sort of blockchain or peer to peer technology that could help in that area. Definitely a separate project though.
I have been at a music festival all weekend but will do some more research over the week.

Is there any documentation anywhere on how to write custom scripts in Coinigy? Most platforms you'd use have such documentation (NinjaTrader, Tradestation, Genesis, MT4, etc..).
I'd like to look into it as I typically write my own things on my platforms.

I took a quick look and discovered Coinigy seems to have a REST API and a WebSocket API so pretty much any language which you can make interact with those should do the trick.
