Hi all, I have downloaded a .csv excel file of stocks that have an EPS Rating of 85 or higher and an RS rating of 85 or higher. I use Investor's Business Daily's data tables to find this info. Is there a scanner that will scan this list of stocks to look for certain chart patterns like the bullish engulfing pattern? Thanks
Probably not for custom stock lists, but you can find and evaluate lots of chart pattern screeners: https://www.google.com/search?q=chart+pattern+screener
Might be easier to invert the search; i.e. use a site such as Finviz to search for all stocks that match the chart pattern, then import that list into Excel to compare against your csv list.
Why don't you use IBD MarketSmith??? They have a 3 week trial for 20 bucks.... Chartmill may be interesting as well
@trendisyourfriend, Since you mention Excel, here is one good source from Stocks and Commodities Magazine. Ron McAllister MICROSOFT EXCEL: JULY 2013 TRADERS’ TIPS CODE http://www.traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/2013/07/images/code/TheStepCandlePattern.xlsm Excel is jack of all trade master of none. A proper tool for scanning stock pattern are stock charting software e.g. Amibroker, NinjaTrader, etc. You can program pattern scanning and scan more efficiently - more stocks and indepth analysis.
1. How many symbols? 2. Do you want a scan on daily OHLC candles or intraday 1- or 5-min candles? 3. Would the scan be real time during market hours or something at EOD?
