Starting a stock search- Figure below shows a basic long search trade by setting: Price, Typ Volume, Target 1 Profit, Profit/Loss, Target 1 Potential and Sort by: Upside Target 1 Profit.
- High trade quality is screened by setting Target 1 Profit, Profit/Loss, and Target 1 Potential as shown below.
- SearchTool provides the investor with a way to screen stocks for double bottoms, tops, oversold and many more patterns for potentially profitable trades.
- To perform a successful search requires multiple search steps.
- To limit your search to quality stocks first select a price and volume range using the
"Price" and "Typ Volume" pulldown menus.
To select more than one range select "Custom:" from the pulldown menu (see "Using Custom:" below for details).
- If you now click on the "Search!" button you should see a list of stocks for the price and
volume range you selected above.
The number of stocks found should be less than the 6300+ stocks found if you clicked on "Search!" with all
fields set to the default "ALL".
- Next select a few of the "Overall" and "Positioning" indicators for general stock screening conditions.
- After each indicator selection perform a search and then view a few stocks to verify the general qualities your looking for (check the charts).
- Continue to add a few more indicators at a time (Timing, Upside Trade, etc...) and repeat the searches until your satisfied with the type of stocks found.
- To limit your search to quality stocks first select a price and volume range using the
"Price" and "Typ Volume" pulldown menus.
Using Custom:
- Many indicator pulldowns have an option called "Custom:". This option is used for selecting more than one indicator range. For example: To find stocks with prices from 5-25 dollars, you would select the price pulldown "Custom:" and select both the 2. 5-12 and 3. 12-25 ranges (A popup window will allow you to select each range).
- Once a custom range is set you will see a "CM:" with numbers corresponding to the ranges selected. In the example above "CM: 2,3" would be shown.
Saving stock searches
- Once a good stock search is created it is important to save this search for later use.
- To save a search select one of the 25 open slots under the pulldown "Set Search as User Preset" (located near the top of the SearchTool page) and enter a search name (up to 30 chars).
- To recall a saved search select the name of your search from the pulldown "Recall User Preset".
Start and end of a search- When the "Search!" button is pressed the browser status line(bottom left of the browser window) will display "SEARCHING...PLEASE WAIT!". The search is complete when the status bar displays "DONE LOADING PAGE..."
Create an effective stock search- The first step in creating an effective stock search is making a base screen which narrows your search to a particular stock type.
- We have provided a base search string below that searches for stock prices greater than 5, with good typical volume, target profit, profit/loss ratio,
and target potential with the results sorted by Upside Target 1 profit.
#,23456,,345,00!0!!0!00000000000000, 345,,34,,456, 00000004# - Use this string in SearchTool by first highlighting the complete string (including the #'s) using the mouse and then right mouse button select Copy (or by pressing keys CTRL and C). Then in SearchTool under SearchString click on the link named "Set" and in the pop up window use the right mouse button to select Paste (or by pressing keys CTRL and V).
- Press "Search!" and this will return anywhere from 300 (if the market has rallied and many stocks have poor short term profit or profit/loss ratio) to 1800 stocks if the market has pulled back and sorted by highest target 1 profit.
- Next step is to narrow your search to particular stock types. Select a particular search parameter one at a time.
- For stocks that Outperform select a rating range of 4,6,8 on the "Overall Summary" pulldown.
- For stocks at support areas select 1 on the "Res/support" pulldown.
- For stocks that uptrend set the appropriate month trend and/or intermediate trend, etc...
- Repeat these steps by adjusting one search parameter pulldown at a time and looking at the resulting stock charts and indicators for each setting.
- If you don't receive any stocks then it could be that your have set too narrow a search or have set conflicting search parameters or due to current market conditions.
- For a Breakout stock screen one could start with
setting the base screen string listed below and then adjust.
- #,23456,,345,00!0!!0!0000000000000000, 3456,2,345,000008#
Breakout stock search with high money flow- A search for high quality breakout stocks (watch, possible and confirmed) with strong/extreme money flow and high typical volume (larger cap stocks). Results are sorted by breakout profit and include all stock price ranges.
- #0,45,00!0!!0!000000000000,45,000, 3456,,234,,345, 000008#
Use this string in SearchTool by first highlighting the complete string (including the #'s) using the mouse and then right mouse button select Copy (or by pressing keys CTRL and C). Then in SearchTool under SearchString click on the link named "Set" and in the pop up window use the right mouse button to select Paste (or by pressing keys CTRL and V). - Common stocks and their sectors shown in the search results may give a hint as to which sectors are gaining strength.
Long stock search with high money flow and high trade quality- A search for high quality long stocks with strong/extreme money flow, high trade quality and high typical volume (larger cap stocks). Results are sorted by Upside Target 1 profit and include all stock price ranges.
