In addition to Big Easy mentioned below, TC2000 is the premier stock scanner. I replaced TC200 with QCharts and RavenQuote, when combined can also scan for specific price and volume relationships.

KG - I recommend first looking at the pay screener in the SI service IQChart (www.iqchart.com). You can get a free trial. The limitation is that the predefined parameters may be unacceptably constraining (I find them to be so). That is the price of having the screening done on the website's computer rather than on yours, based on predefined criteria. Although I don't like their MA selections, I could still program most of the setups I look for. Be advised that there are numerous minor aggravations and an annoyingly high error rate, at least for the screens I run. But look at it first, so you'll appreciate... ...my suggested second choice, Quotes Plus (www.qp2.com). This also has a free trial. This screener runs on your own computer using data downloaded after the close. It uses an easy Basic-like programming language which I find to be very powerful. The downside of this is that the downloads are slow and the screening is slow with a 56K modem and a slow PC. Be advised that I am an amateur. Pros I know use TradeStation (web version not available yet) and First Alert. Neither is cheap. Other choices which I find pretty lame are TraderBot, BigEasyInvestor, and the free screener on SI. Another consideration is the charting service you use. You may find SI or QP2 to be good enough, but I use NexTrend, which is both powerful and cheap. Good luck, and please advise the results of your investigations. I may have it all wrong! - Mike
