How Can I Know if a Stock or ETF Qualifies for a Pre-defined Scan?

 | 

There is a “search for symbol” box at the top of the pre-defined scans page. By entering a symbol, chartists can learn which predefined scans feature a particular stock, ETF or mutual fund. There are over eighty scans that cover candlesticks, P&F patterns and technical indicators. A search for TripAdvisor (TRIP) returns seven scan results. This means TRIP showed up in these seven scans. Each scan name contains a link that users can click to see the full results. The second screenshot shows the stocks with a breakaway gap down. Users can click on the chart icons to see a SharpChart, Gallery Chart or P&F chart.
