First of all, please make sure you watch our Video Tour. It will give you a quick overview on how to use StockScanPro. The information below is mostly useful if you want to write your own scans without using the filter builder.

Hello World!

When learning a new language, we often find it useful to see some simple examples first.

This is the simplest scan for StockScanpro:

close() > 100

Obviously, the scan finds stocks that closed above 100.

Second step

Let's find stocks that closed today above yesterday's high:

close() > high()[-1]

You can append [-x] to any indicator to find its value x days ago. Simple as that.

More criteria? No problem!

You can use logical operands (and/or) and parentheses to group criteria:

(close() >  100) and (close() > high()[-1])

Of course, you can group as many criteria as you wish.

Let's get dynamic!

The power of StockScanPro is in its ability to scan for indicators with fully configurable parameters. In order to be able to use them, you can check our Indicators page or use the Filter Builder.

You can also take a look at our Predefined Scans, built by traders for traders. Not only you can use them to find profitable stocks, but you can learn from them how to build your own customs scans that you can save and use any time you want.

Here's a nice example from our scan library, MrSwing Breakout Long:

(sma(volume, 20) >=200000) 
and 
(close()>7) 
and 
(high()>=max(close, 40))
and 
(high()[-1] >= max(close, 40)[-1])
and 
(volume()>1.5 * sma(volume, 20))
and 
(close() > open())
and 
(volume()[-1] < sma(volume, 20))
and 
(close() - low()  >=0.75*( high() - low() ))

Last but not least, you can always use the support to ask for help on building your indicators. You can even ask for new indicators and we will develop them for you and include them in the scan engine.
