# Scan Market Movers

Comprehensive market scanner identifying top gainers, losers, volume leaders, and unusual activity across multiple asset classes.

## Usage

When the user wants to scan for market movers, implement a real-time scanning system with these capabilities:

### Scan Parameters
- **Markets**: crypto, stocks, forex, all
- **Timeframe**: 1h, 4h, 24h, 7d, 30d
- **Categories**: gainers, losers, volume, volatility, unusual
- **Limit**: Top N results (default: 20)
- **Filters**: Market cap, volume thresholds, price ranges
- **Sort**: By percentage, volume, market cap, volatility

## Implementation

### 1. Market Scanner Engine

```

## Error Handling

```javascript
try {
    const scanner = new RealTimeScanner();

    await scanner.start({
        markets: 'all',
        timeframe: '24h',
        categories: ['gainers', 'losers', 'volume', 'unusual'],
        limit: 20,
        filters: {
            minVolume: 1000000,
            excludeStablecoins: true
        },
        sortBy: 'percentage'
    });

    // Graceful shutdown
    process.on('SIGINT', () => {
        scanner.stop();
        process.exit(0);
    });

} catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to start scanner:', error);
    process.exit(1);
}
```
