How to Use the
Stock Market Scanner

Mark Minervini's highest-conviction swing trade setup. Requires: stock in a Stage 2 uptrend (price above 150 and 200 SMA), within 25% of its 52-week high, showing 2–4 successive pullbacks each shallower than the last, with volume contracting on each pullback. Current price must be within 5% of the pivot (the highest point in the base).

This is the tightest, most precise signal in the scanner. A clean VCP on volume 1.5× or higher when it breaks the pivot is a high-probability setup.

Detected when price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low — meaning selling momentum is weakening even as price falls. Requires a minimum of 2 confirmed swing lows on the selected timeframe. Only triggers when today's daily candle closes above open (green candle confirmation).

Available on three timeframes: 1H (shorter-term), 4H (medium), 1D (strongest). A divergence confirmed on both 4H and Daily is higher conviction than 1H alone.

The 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA with price trading above the 200 EMA. Requires 3 consecutive higher closes and rising volume over those sessions. This filters out false crosses caused by single-day spikes.

The 200 EMA condition is key — it ensures the stock is in a longer-term uptrend, not just bouncing in a downtrend. Only golden cross setups (short EMA above long EMA) appear here.

RSI crosses from below 45 to above 45 on the daily chart, confirmed by a bullish candlestick pattern on the same day. The 45 level is significant — stocks in strong uptrends rarely drop below 40 RSI, and a cross back above 45 signals the pullback is over.

Look for this signal combined with a green day and above-average volume for the best entries.

Classic single and multi-candle reversal formations detected on the daily chart: Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, Morning Star, Three White Soldiers, Piercing Line, Dragonfly Doji and Bullish Harami.

These patterns are strongest when they form at a key support level, after a pullback in an uptrend, with above-average volume on the pattern candle. Use the sector filter to find clusters of candle patterns in a single industry — sector rotation often shows up here first.

Price closing within 3% of its 52-week high, volume at 1.5× or above average, RSI above 60, and price above the 200 SMA. All four conditions must be met simultaneously.

New 52-week highs on expanding volume are one of the most reliable momentum signals in the market. Stocks that break to new highs have cleared all prior overhead resistance — there are no trapped buyers above to sell into the move.

Price consolidating in a range of ≤15% for at least 5 weeks near prior highs, with the 200 SMA below the consolidation zone and volume contracting through the base. This is a classic IBD / CAN SLIM setup.

The tighter the base (under 10% depth) the better. A breakout from a flat base on 2× volume is a high-quality Stage 2 entry. Watch the top of the base (shown in the Detail column) — that is your buy trigger level.

Today's entire candle range (high to low) fits inside the prior day's range. Price must be above the 50 SMA, RSI between 45–75, and volume declining. This is a compression / coiling setup.

The inside bar itself is not the entry — it is the setup. The entry trigger is a close above the prior day's high on expanding volume, ideally the next session. The Detail column shows that exact price level.

A prior week registered a volume spike ≥2× average. Each subsequent week shows lower volume AND a narrowing price range — the stock is coiling after unusual institutional activity. Requires minimum 2 declining weeks confirmed.

Think of this as a spring being compressed. The original spike week was institutional buying. The quiet weeks after are distribution of that buying into fewer and fewer hands. When volume expands again, the move resumes.

This week itself is showing a fresh volume spike ≥2× the 20-week average volume. This is the earliest-stage signal in the scanner — it tells you unusual accumulation is happening right now.

Add these to a manual watchlist. If volume contracts over the next 2–3 weeks and the price range tightens, it becomes a Weekly Volume Coil — a much higher conviction setup. Think of Weekly Watchlist as the early-warning radar.

At the top of the table: All · VCP · RSI Div · EMA · RSI45 · 52W High · Flat Base · Inside Bar · Coil · Watchlist. Click any tab to show only that signal type. Tip: Start with VCP or 52W High — these have the strictest criteria and lowest number of results, making them easiest to review quickly.

Chip buttons for each GICS sector: Technology, Healthcare, Financials, Energy, Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Materials, Utilities, Real Estate, Communication Services, Consumer Staples. Tip: When the market is rotating into a specific sector, filter by that sector across all signals to find the best setups in the leading industry.

Sort the table by: Volume (highest first — best for finding the most active setups), Change % (biggest movers today), RSI (momentum strength), or Ticker (alphabetical). Tip: Always sort by Volume first — the most active setups with confirmed institutional participation should get your attention first.
