Scanners

Anyone know of any NASDAQ market scanners which allow entering your own created formula criteria to search on?

Cheers

Some are subscription - some not.

There are more out there but this will keep you busy for a while


Hope this helps

Thats great thanks.

What I was thinking hypothetically was - you can create a simple formula on a chart - say average price ( ohlc / 4 ) of a stock. It would be useful to then scan sectors / markets for stocks n% above or below the average price formula. You then short stocks above their average and go long with stocks below their average.

Its only an idea, just interested in how useful a scanner / software filter could be.

thx

One more thing

Also...have a look at http://www.prophet.net

and:

http://stockcharts.com/index.html

and look at their scanners.

Neil is bang on - Prophet is excellent. Scans include sector as well as TA. There is also a real time scan for intra day data - but the results are limited to 10 unless you subscribe (which is only $10 pcm)

MSN Money also has an excellent Java scanner for EOD data. Allsorts of scans are possible including fundamentals and price, volume, beta etc

Happy scanning!
