Market Scan Basics
User Guide: Lesson
Overview
The Market Scan can be used to filter the North American stock markets for a wide variety of common technical analysis indicators and the proprietary Stockscores indicators. From the results of the Market Scan, you can inspect charts that meet the Market Scan criteria using the Gallery or Slide Show Chart Viewers.
How to Use This Tool
Access the Market Scan tool from the Tools pull down menu at the top of all Stockscores pages. Limited access is provided for free to registered members of Stockscores.com, but full use of the Market Scan tool requires Advanced or higher membership.
The Market Scan page shows a number of filters broken down in to five functional areas:
- General Filters
- Stockscores Filters
- Price Filters
- Volume Filters
- Momentum Filters
The specific filters are defined later in this section of the User Guide. It is possible to select filter settings and save a Market Scan for future use. Only the user who saves a Market Scan will have access to that specific Market Scan.
Most users utilize one of the preset Market Scans from the Pull down menu "Select a Scan":
Figure 1 - The Market Scan page allows you to filter the market using the many technical filters shown here. Stockscores Foundation members can use all the filters but without presets, Stockscores Investor members can use all the filters and the Investor presets. Active Trader members can use all the filters plus the Investor and Active Trader presets.
Selecting a Preset Market Scan
The preset Stockscores Strategies are taught in the Stockscores Education Center and are only available to Investor and Active Trader members. Each Strategy has its Market Scan settings saved in the preset Market Scans. To access one of the Market Scans, simply select the Market Scan name from the pull down menu at the top of the Market Scan page.
Stockscores Foundation members can use all the filters but without presets, Stockscores Investor members can use all the filters and the Investor presets. Active Trader members can use all the filters plus the Investor and Active Trader presets.
If you have saved a Market Scan of your own, you can access it from the "My Saved Scans" area of the preset scan pull down menu. How to save a Market Scan of your own is described later in this User Guide.
