Stock Screen Strategy

[ctvas 10]

As you all know there are thousands of stocks. I'm having a difficult time screening correctly. I want to screen stocks that declined, and view them until they create a buy signal. Even if I take that approach there's still hundreds to choose from. What software do you use to screen stocks? I would like to screen technical analysis. I'm using think or swim, and its extremely difficult to screen..

Probably the most sophisticated site:

 

FINVIZ.com - Stock Screener

 

Enjoy.

I use google.com/finance -> screener.

Overall, it's very fast and has lots of criteria to choose.

Check out Amibroker. It's cheap, and good data is cheap as well these days. Easy to code also & has a very clean chart display.

 

Stock, Futures and FOREX End of Day Data in MetaStock Data and ASCII Data formats has a good data product with a 30 day demo, check out the "custom folders" as it automatically creates sub folders for you of sectors, S&P etc & keeps them up to date automatically. They have some Amibroker add on for organising sector groups etc, and their service is always awesome
