How can I find stocks with big changes in their StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR)?

 | 

The StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) pages can be sorted by column, of which there are seven. Chartists can sort by “name” to quickly find a stock. Sort can be by “sector” or “industry” to group stocks. Chartists can find the strongest or weakest stocks by sorting with the “SCTR” column. Those interested in the closing price of a stock can sort by “price”. The final column, “change”, is perhaps the most powerful. A sort by this column shows the stocks with the biggest changes, both up and down, in the SCTR. These are the movers and shakers on the day. The image below shows part of the S&P 500 SCTR table sorted by change with the biggest gainers at the top.
