A stock scan is a set of criteria that pre-screens all of the stocks listed on the exchanges and selects only those stocks that meet specific criteria.  This dramatically speeds up the process of searching for stocks to buy or to sell short.

For beginners and busy people, scans are especially important as a scan can save many hours of work and help you find better, more reliable stocks to trade.

If you are new to trading, simply use the custom scans that TechniTrader® provides for each student.

TechniTrader® has developed dozens of customized scans for our students to help them find stocks that are right for their trading style.  We work with each student to help them determine their trading style, and then advise them on which scans are best for them.  That way we are helping you customize your trading specifically to your needs and goals.

TechniTrader® has scans for both short term trading and long term investing, scans for low capital base traders, and traders who enjoy the fast-pace style trading of momentum stocks.  TechniTrader® scans can be modified to include only the type of stock within your price range that you wish to trade.  We can even customize a scan to find just one kind of candlestick buy signal or sell short signal.

By using TechniTrader® Custom Scans, you take advantage of decades of experience by our professional staff.  Instead of trying to create your own scans and then trying to test them with months or years of effort to make the scan work right, our students can start trading right away, with confidence, knowing that our scans have stood the test of time and are highly reliable in every kind of market condition.
