Is anyone else using scanner stocks for day trading?
I've been diving into day trading recently, and I'm curious about how everyone else utilizes scanner stocks. I just started using a few platforms, and while I can see the potential, I’m still trying to get the hang of it. Do you guys have any go-to scanners or specific settings that have worked well for you? I want to optimize my trading strategy, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all the options.
Also, how do you filter stocks? Any tips on spotting the best opportunities without getting lost in the noise? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any pitfalls to avoid. Thanks!
