What do you want to scan?

Which list inside the S&P 500?

All 500, Leaders, or Momentum. Leaders and Momentum are still here — same screens as before.

All 503 S&P 500 names.

Turns RSI off. Tap again for the starting setup. Not a recommendation.

Momentum

Strategy

Pick one. The others turn off. Tap the one that is on to clear it.

Risk

How it works

Trend → Momentum → one strategy → Risk

This screen looks for an upward trend. Trend is the close above the 50-day. Momentum is RSI in the band and the MACD line crossing up. A strategy is optional: Trend Strength, Breakout Readiness, or Pullback Setup. If none is on, that test is left out. Risk is beta, a coming earnings report, and room under a ceiling.

Two setups

Not investment advice. These checks only narrow a list. They do not find a winning stock, and they are not a reason to buy.

A starting setup

This is what a new visit has on. Scan stocks runs the S&P 500 with these two checks.

  • S&P 500, All 500
  • Above 50-day, on
  • RSI 45–70, on
  • MACD, the strategies, beta, earnings and the ceiling, off

Buying the dip

Above the 50-day, then the pullback back toward it. The Dip button turns those two on and turns RSI off. Tap it again to return to the starting setup.

  • Above 50-day, on
  • Pullback Setup, on
  • Trend Strength and Breakout Readiness, off

Clear of resistance can stay off. A name is listed only when every check that is on passes. The exact rules are on the methodology page.

What happens after the scan?

The Android app is the same screen, opened full screen. The list is names that match the checks that are on.

Scan → Open the chart → Read the checks

A row shows the daily chart and which checks passed. The screen does not say what to do next.
