What is the best scanner for gaps? I want one that has lots of options, and filters....like average range, volume, etc, etc,.... not thses shitty gap scanners that shoot out ABCD stock that trades 10k shares a day and is a 2.00 stock... Also were it just scans certain stocks you want it to option.... Thanks!
You can't beat www.trade-ideas.com for the price $45.00 per month. Does everything you want with gaps.
WWW.TRADEGOPHER.COM is very similar to trade-ideas.com and Pristine EPS, but it is more catogerized based on your trading style and timeframe that you use, and also more customizeable like seting for "when accured", " ranking", colorcoding strategies, startegy alarts, and overnight scan, for swing and shortterm traders, MIn/Max price, volume,... Best feature is that it offers you Free Charting also, when you click the symbole, it loads to the chart
I found www.marketedge.com to be also a good value for overnight and swingtraders. If you have account at Ameritrade (datek), you can get it for 14$. If you go to the site directly, you have to pay 39$.
First Alert is a great scanner but costly. Probably more than 400.00 bucks a month when you include exchange fees.
With Even 400$ still data feed have to be bought seperatly. I don't thing it is cost effective for many new and indivitual small traders, since this product is mostly used at brokerage and prop firm with licensing for several feed at lower price. If you are small trader, it's best to write your own strategies in EL, TS 7 can scan and automate those for you for free, if you have account with them.
