What's the best stock screener where i can customize my inputs? (i've looked at yahoo's but it doesn't quite have everything i want to filter) Any other ones?
I used the one at www.cbsmarketwatch.com but it's very basic... try this: http://www.daytradingstocks.com/stockscreeners.html
Here is another list. http://www.stocktraders-system.com/onlinestockscreeners.htm I use www.MultexInvestor.com. It has quite a bit of flexibility and is free. What are you looking for it terms of capabilities? There are pay sites that are very good if the free ones don't meet your needs. I used www.wallstreetcity.com for a while. DS
Are you looking for a solution to scan for fundamental data, price pattern or technical indicators? There are a number of softwares out there that will allow you to execute scan on your own machine. The advantage of using a local scanner is speed and security.
If you don't mind spending a little money, the following are very flexible/powerful: http://www.tc2000.com - free program, but you have to subscribe to their data I think. http://www.amibroker.com - buy the program and use free data from Yahoo. You can also scan realtime if you have RT data. http://www.stockwatchpro.com - never used, so not sure. There are others, but I can't think of them at the moment. The most powerful screeners are probably going to be software based like the above.
http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/finder/customstocks.asp Download the deluxe screener from MSN Investor. It is free and powerful.
Regarding TC2000: As it is free, could it be downloaded from somewhere? I am international and have problems with their shipping. Send me PM if is such info. Also could be filled by data from IQFeed ?
