List of Sub Screeners

Death Crossover

Identifies stocks where the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average. This bearish signal suggests potential downward momentum, alerting traders to cautious or short positions.

Golden Crossover

Captures stocks with the short-term moving average crossing above the long-term moving average. This bullish indicator signals potential upward momentum and buying opportunities for traders anticipating positive price action.

Momentum Stocks

Highlights stocks experiencing significant price increases, driven by strong market enthusiasm. Such momentum indicates potential continued gains, attracting traders looking for short-term profits.

Overbought RSI Stocks

Detects stocks with an RSI value exceeding 75. This condition suggests stocks may be overvalued temporarily and could experience price corrections, useful for traders anticipating reversals.

Oversold RSI Stocks

R3 Resistance Breakouts

Identifies stocks surpassing their third resistance level, indicating significant bullish sentiment and powerful buying momentum. These stocks often attract traders seeking high-confidence bullish signals.

S1 Support Breakouts

Tracks stocks falling below their first support level, suggesting increased bearish sentiment and potential further declines. Traders use this signal to manage risk or explore short-selling strategies.

S2 Support Breakouts

Spots stocks breaking below their second support level, indicating stronger bearish trends and the likelihood of continued price drops, assisting traders in adjusting their risk and investment strategies accordingly.

S3 Support Breakouts

Identifies stocks falling beneath their third support level, highlighting intense selling pressure and potential prolonged downward trends. Traders can use this as a clear signal for caution or to capitalize on bearish momentum.

How do Fundamental and Technical Screeners Differ?

Fundamental screeners dig into a company's financial health, looking at metrics like P/E ratios and earnings growth. On the other hand, technical screeners focus on price patterns and chart movements. Based on the requirement, such as for trading technical screeners and investment, fundamental screeners can be used. For the best results, you can use both screeners in conjunction.
