Me thinks it would really depend on what the investment time period is that's trying to be captured. For the short term - say for day trading it could be the 10/50, for shorter terms (say weeks to months) the 50/150/200 but those would just be levels from which the more important (IMHO) price indicators would be run. If your looking for something (depending on your own theory of what investing/trading is) that has the potetial to "pop" in the next few weeks the then the scan should probably be looking at daily price charts over the past 20 days up to a year. But I like the one big "MAMASAR" of a scan that kind of does it all - especially for a group to persuse - because it gives everyone the opportunity to put thier own look to it and (as our illustrious leader would say) "PIMP" the ones you want. But whatever I'm just a hack babbling over my first cup of java. You guys are way ahead of my curve on the technicals so I'ld be really interested in what others have to say on the scan and any potential tweaks. jf...

Ray; I absolutely agree with jf in that it depends on whether we are looking for trend change on some stocks that are starting to do a turnaround from the depths after the heights of past glory. or looking for a stock which in the process of setting up a trend. or just looking for a tdaytrade(looking for pops. Using the three ma's we are charting now, the 144SMA, 50SMA and the 13EMA. I would like to see a stabilizing of 144, and 50, with the 50 recently moving up over the 144(in the last 5 weeks, let's say), and the 13dEMA reacting to the 144 first with a bounce, and now crossing over the 50.It would also help if the stock was on support and in a flag with the possibility of BO.gggg. At this point they have the look and you would bet your underware wear they are going to go.
