Can someone recommend me a good (hopefully free) stock scanner?

  1. Thanks everyone! I have some research to do.

    But I started with the IB one, thanks so much ZBZB (I am a long time IB customer but I never knew they had one), but I cannot seem to find what I am looking for. All I want is to be able to put in like 10 or 20 symbols or something, set an open up % price increase over prior close, and if it exceeds that let me know. But I'm not seeing that in the IB scanner options. I see where you can select to note for you the biggest open % increases over prior close, but I'm not looking for something like that, I just want to know which of various stocks I am interested in are on the move.

    I'll have to look at some more.

    Thanks!!!

    You would put the charts you want to scan in a chartlist then run the scan on those charts only.
    Doesn't scan for fundamentals but does a pretty good job with technicals.

    Finviz and TradingView.

    The free versions are useful but the
    data is delayed unless you subscribe.

    I use both but subscribe to Finviz.

    The info is invaluable if you are trading
    stocks.

    Unless I'm familiar with a particular
    stock, I normally do additional research
    before I engage.

    A great place to research stocks is at
    Yahoo Finance.

    https://finance.yahoo.com

    Once you enter the symbol you can
    check for news, and all sorts of
    relevant info.

    Look at the IB alerts system.

    If you're willing to pay a fee, Investors Business Daily
    offers a service called Marketsmith. Some of their
    tools are really good.

    Stock Rover is pretty good. I'm doing a 30-day trial now, but I don't think I'm going to pay for the service, since I primarily trade options. It's pretty in-depth though.
