For EOD I use profitspi which is also easy to use and about the same price as stockfetcher. As you pointed out, it looks like I'll have to pay for the realtime intraday scanning and then factor that in as a fixed cost. Such is life. I still have to follow up on the leads provided here and...

Thank you Bazooka Joe, I will give autochartist it a close look. There's a free trial, so that's good. My first impression is that it's more about chart patterns, and I haven't had very good luck with that approach -- FASCINATING!! though it may be. I'm more into very simple price action...

FrankSlaughtery, Nutinsider, and Mr_You, thank you for the speedy replies. I'm currently using Scottrade, which streams charts in a number of intraday intervals, but doesn't allow me to screen them for a customized pattern. I will look into thinkorswimm and ninjatrader asap. FrankSlaughtery...

Here's hoping I've identified the correct forum. I would like to scan hourly and 1/2-hourly charts for a price pattern intraday in real time. Do you know of any brokerages that offer this functionality as part of their platforms? Or do I have to subscribe to a service such as Stealthalerts...

It's hard to know why some breakouts reach for the stars while others don't -- especially when they have technical similarities. Depending on how a person manages trades, as of Feb. 1: SBGI: you'd have to call it a small loser or a break even at best. A person can't hang around for ever...

Maybe someone will know something about this stock. It just caught my attention. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=LEAP&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p69730809050&a=192116268&listNum=3

A breakout on good volume is encouraging. While SBGI hasn't taken off like a rocket, LCAPA has moved up. Here are two more: SCLN http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SCLN&id=p2&def=N&listNum=6 MDZ http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=MDZ&id=p2&def=N&listNum=6

GOBAR, Still watching WFC? Couldn't be wound up might tighter, right?

Thank you, ozbonfim and ess1096. I've been using Stockcharts. Their scanning engine allows you to formulate simple technical ideas of your own. Not bad, really, and inexpensive -- EOD. I'll check out Prorealtime.com and see if I can scan for my stuff during the day session. That would be...

Since nobody else has a comment . . . yes, Wells Fargo came up on my watchlist, too. Let's see if it gets frisky, and if so when. Volume seems to be picking up recently. Yeah, a "pop" would be just the ticket.

Maybe these will work? http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?sbgi http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?lcapa

SBGI (Sinclair): no lack of volume, huh? (let's see if I can get this link right) Not unlike LCAPA (Liberty): Enjoy!

Debaser82, Looks like ADM is having a tough time getting past the low 30s. I'd imagine that a lot of folks who bought in '06 and '07 and got creamed in '08 are now delighted to be getting out "whole." As efficiency correctly states, the stock's action pretty well defines the term...

AlphaGeneration, Thanks! Finviz.com offers quite a bit, I'm impressed. Let's see whether any other members come forward. I'm not into buying charting software and data right now, although it may come to that. P.

Greetings technical traders, I'd like to identify a website (preferably free or low cost) where I can scan a large number of stocks using my own very simple formulas -- and I do mean simple. For example: closed lower three periods in a row, or: open > yesterday's high and close < yada yada...

OPTIONCOACH, Your explanations are good. I looked at the ES chart, too. GOOG - also very nice. Such mouth-watering trades are fun to look at. There are many ways to identify low volatility. I've been using a "narrow BBs" formula for a while in my EOD searches. I'm sure there's a similar...

OPTIONSCOPE, <I> . . . price may peek into the upper channel but I want it to CLOSE up into the channel on a breakout for me to go long or short and then you see how it runs in between the 2 channels. </I> I understand: a range expansion with a close in the channel. <I> I see this on...

OPTIONCOACH, Looks like it works nicely. Do you wait for an expansion bar as your cue? <img src="http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepr9fe/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/am-2.jpg">
