Best Scanner to use in UK

[TGTRADE]

Hi everyone

I'm not new to trading. I've switched strategies a few times between longer and shorter time frames focusing purely in stocks. I'm currently working on a day trading strategy and am currently back testing with real time data on 2 minute charts.

I live in Kangaroo Land (Australia) and over here the timezone means that for those who are trading in their spare time, the UK FTSE MARKET or German Dax work well due to the time zones. I've picked the FTSE given its wide exposure over the DAX.

I'm using charting software from my CFD provider, CMC Markets who a few of you probably use. The charting software is quite good but there is no scanner. I'm wanting a scanner that can do intraday time frames for HIGH/LOWs, Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands etc for the FTSE / LSE.

I'm on stockcharts.com also but the scanner there only is for day prices which doesn't really help me.

I'd appreciate any help. Found this forum a good resource already!

Just wondering if anyone can point me towards any sites for UK intraday stock screeners. Not having much luck

Fineco starting help

Hi, I opened a fineco account but confused as to how to get going. I just want to dabble in UK shares, nothing too serious. They sent me a a visa card, is this a credit or debit card? I tried to buy some shares and the website said insufficient funds so I presume the card isn't a credit card...

It's always worth doing a search as the same questions get asked time and time again.

Another useful resource is the articles section:

Equities - Fundamental Analysis - Getting Started Using Stock Screeners

Selecting good stocks isn't easy. The sheer volume of companies makes zeroing in on a good stock difficult and the volumes of data on the internet don't make things any easier. In fact, it's hard to sort out the useful information from all the worthless data. Fortunately, a stock screener can...

Thanks Cantagril for your help. I did do a search on this forum for stock screeners. I received the thread from Brian Beers as well but it didn't point me in the direction of where I want to go, intraday time frames for the LSE.

The Fineco screener is good but to use the technical analysis features, you need to create an account. I'm not sure if this scans intraday or just daily/weekly/monthly either (as so many screeners offer).

I think I have to realise that there is no intraday screener available for the LSE I can use for now.

A screener is not primary to my trading strategy. Just would be a cherry on the cake.

Try IG demo accounts, good IMO.

Hi,

I have just started out demo trading using Finviz. The fee per month is small - I think it is very good.

All the best
