Stockmarket Scan

[stargazer]

Hi all

At times i have read that a person has scanned the market to find stocks that may fit a certain crieteria for selection.

Is this a certain specialised software or does E trade or Commsec etc provide such tools.

Cheers

I use Stockscan and i does pretty what i want for now. End of day software can do this also if its in the package. Etrade only offers "filters" and its mostly fundemental stuff.

www.stockscan.com.au

It costs me about $30 per month. At this stage thats good enough for me. If i ever retire to do this full time (a dream right now) i would purchase software.

Yahoo has a free one too http://screener.finance.yahoo.com/newscreener.html

Hope this helps.

Technical scans can be performed by all sorts of Software,

I use Metastock.
The criteria is only limited by your formula writing skills and the limitations of the software.
There are many which have in built scans.

Hi tech/a

Me too ...

I'm no programmer.

I've noticed over time we seem to focus on the same stocks for comment etc. I use TA to take positions and manage risk etc.

Here's what I do with the MS Explorer .... these run in the following order

Stocks that have traded a 50 day simple average > $200,000 (filters out approx 90% of stocks)

then

White or Big Whites

then

Close is the highest for at least the last 10 days

then

Close is above the 30 week exponential moving average

then

Volume is 150% or more of the 50 day average of volume.

All this generally gives me a list of 15 - 30 stocks to look at on a daily basis to take a position in.

I also look at CFD stocks (weekly view) to pick those ones out for my watchlist that may develop over the coming weeks / months.

I wonder if you might share any routines you have?

 

[tech/a]

Hell what ones do you want.
I have 100s of scans.100s of formulas.

Many I have collected over the years from various postings.
Many I never use.

The ones I actually use for trading other than TechTrader I have never made public.
But along with the scans is the Application of the trading methodology behind them.
Without the methodology the scans are quite useless.
Of a scan I may only look at a chart or 2 out of 20 or more picked up.

hi CanOz,

this is only for US stocks right?

 

[yogi-in-oz]

Hi yonnie,

.... yahoo scanner can be used for almost any market ... for
whole Aussie market, use ***.AX ... for some reason, you
will need to punch it in 3 times and change the market details
to "World market" each time ... but it will work on the 3rd try ...

Click on the column titles to sort by whatever criteria,
that you may desire ... ie ... stock code, price or volume, etc

Likewise, to do a search on the Kiwi market, use ***.NZ
... and there's also a list of other exchange codes available,
on the scanner page, as well.

happy days

paul

hi yogi,

thanks for your help.

I looked at the exchanges and it could only do the American ones.
am sure I looked in the wrong spot.

could you be more detailed please?

thanks

 

[yonnie]

in yahoo:

can I scan the ASX stocks for stocks that have a volume on the last day of greater than 3x their average volume?

if so, how do I do that exactly?

 

[yogi-in-oz]

For the whole Aussie market, use:

http://finance.yahoo.com/lookup?s=***.ax&t=S&m=ALL

..... many of the previous screener options have now been disabled
for the world markets, but it is good for online charting and fundamental
detail, in one place, for individual stocks and sectors.

In preparation for the next bull cycle which maybe several years away I`m wanting to improve on past performance.Must have made more errors than anyone could and am looking at a new tool kit to improve.

I know it`s not the tools, it`s the tradesman.But one can`t torque a cylinder head down with a pair of vice grips.

Neat Scan US$99

Neat Scan is a stand-alone product from Tradecision ( an Alyuda neural network company) with min./max. volume and price parameters as well as a host of in-built scanning criteria.Personal criteria can also be entered.
A 10 min. video tutorial gives a good overview.

Data feed is a choice of real time, end-of-day and free e.o.d.

One thing I don`t like is the limited chart pattern choices.

Please let me know if there is a cheaper or better stand-alone scanner on the market.

Free stock scanning websites for gas

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone knows of any fee websites where you can do a search to find any stocks that gapped from the previous day, I have googled it but have only found websites that run searches for US stocks only.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
