Where I find my stonks.
I like the screener that tradingview.com has for during hours trading where I want to do a quick scan for ticker volume and dollar % up/down etc looking for momentum trades (paid subscription gets real-time data).
I do almost all of my research on finviz.com. Their screener is top notch and allows you to save your search criteria for different scans. It gives you a ton of information. I also like that it gives you a history of links to news articles. Want to see why the chart jumped 30% last July? Scroll down and see if there was a news article about it. The one I call my green scan, I use the following indicators in it. Descriptive indicators: Current volume over 1 million. Price under $30. No fundamental indicators. Technical indicators: Performance: 5%+, average true range: over .25, volatility: week over 5%, Change: Up, Pattern: horizontal, Change from open: Up. I look at these charts at the daily level every night before the next morning trading session. I look for previous runners, chart indicators like a golden cross, cup and handle, bull/bear flags, head and shoulders etc. Take notes on ones that I believe can run and look for entry points based on my findings the next trading session. Look back at my previous post on $ANY for an example.
I don't buy until I see the development of what I looked for from the previous night. Sometimes, stuff doesn't pan out at all, and I don't trade that day.
Just thought I would share a little of my process.
Thoughts/questions/comments appreciated.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I like stocktwits for quick looks and see what's trending; however, take whatever you read on that with a grain of salt. Bulls are mostly hopped up on massive amounts of hopium and love to post nonstop
which 99% of the time never leave the ground much less our atmosphere.
