I have been a bit busy recently; not really paying attention to the blog. I tend to flip through various settings. In general, my base settings are stocks that are >$10 with current volume >1 mil I play with the Relative Volume settings to find stocks that are coming into unusual volume, I look at gap scans, 52 week high-low, etc. I set the view to “charts,” as you might imagine, and while I’m scanning, I look at these charts and try to spot familiar patterns, and get an small idea about how the stock tends to move. This is all based on how I trade, and what I like to trade. I can’t really suggest much beyond that though, because I don’t know you nearly as well as you know you. My best suggestion is to play around with the settings, record which stocks you found for which scan, determine your success rate with those stocks, and trace it back to the scan you used to find them. This will allow you to determine which scans find you the best stocks for your style of trading. It will minimize your effort, while increasing your success rate. Hi Benny,
