I spoke to one of your representatives today about setting up a stock screener for me to screen stocks every night to give me a list of stocks each night for me to study the weekly and daily charts on those stocks to see if they are in a current uptrend or downtrend.Here are the parameters I need for my dail stock screening that your rep said you can set up for me.
#1- Stocks trading at $30.00 per share and higher.
#2- Stocks that are averaging trading 3000,000 shares per day, over the last 20 days,not 300,000 total over the last 20 trading days, but averaging trading 300,000 or more shares per day over the last 20 trading days.
#3- Stocks that are optinable.
#4-If possible what I need to know with your indicators if there is anyway you can set up a ranking on the stock that tells me if the stock is currently in an uptrend , downtrend, or not trending, or if you can tell me using your sources what your opinion of what each stock could do over the short term, go up in price, down in price, in other words can you give some kind of ranking on each stock.
#5-Stocks are broken down into 197 Industry Sub- Group Rankings.With each stock could you be able to set up where my stock screener tells me which Industry sub- Group each stock is in and also the current weeks ranking of the Industry- Sub- Group, plus what the ranking was 3weeks ago, 6 weeks ago and 7 months ago, this way I would be able to see how the group rating is doing currently to going back up to 7 months
#6- If you can set up #5, would you be able to set something up telling me the position of the stock in that group, in other words is it the #1, or #2, or #3 and so forth stock in that group.
Sub groups examples- Paper and paper products- Media-Newspapers- Mining-Gems-Reatil-Mail  Order&DI- Auto/Trck-Tirs&M- Chemicals-Plastics- Elec-Contract Mfg.
Investors business daily shows in their daily IBD newspaper the 197 Sub-Groups and how they are currently ranked this week 3 weeks ago, 6 weeks ago and 7 months ago, But to save me time I need it on my stock screener so when I screen my stocks every night it will tell me the group the stock is in and everything else I just mentioned.
#7 Investor business daily also has a grading system A-E on accumulation distribution telling you if institutional investors have been(accummulating) buying or selling the stock lightly or heavy over the last 6 months, if the stock has a letter A that means institutional investors are(accummulating) buying the stock heavy, B means they are still buying it but not quite as heavy and C is  so-so, and D and E means the institutional investors are distributing(selling) the stock. Can you put in the daily screener a letter or number telling me the status of what  institutional investors are doing currently with buying and selling of each stock?
If there is anything else you can add to my custom daily stock screener that you think would be beneficial to me, please add it to the screener. The purpose of this daily stock screener is that it will give me a current list of stocks each night for me to look at the weekly and daily charts of these stocks and for me to analyze the charts to see if the opportunity is right for me to purchase the option on that stock..
I am looking for stocks that are currently in an Uptrend or downtrend to purchase an option on the stock and make my profit in 2,3,5 daysIf , sometimes a little longer if the stock keeps moving in the direction I chose.
If you have any other suggestions that you can reccommend , please do so.
Thank you for your patience ,I am looking forward to my custom stock screener .JoshT

I need help in  preparing a good stock screening system that I can use every night to screen for stocks. I am currently using telechart for my charting and zacks for my stock screening, I am not happy with Zacks priority ranking system. I am a platinum TeleChart customer and after speaking to one of your representatives today I feel that stock finder would be the company to fill my needs for proper stock screening every night. I am a platinum member so besides telechart I also havge access to stock finder.  I am currently paper trading my system of buying and selling options on stocks.This method was taught to me by one of the best options traders.I wrote a book on this method for beginners that have no experience in the stock or options markets and who want to learn how to be successful at it without having to pay thousands of dollars for seminars and expensive software systems. The book is about 175 pages and will show the reader a simple to understand step-by- step method that even a ninth grade student would be able to understand and apply and become financially independent, the book will retail for $28.88 and will be marketed worldwide sometime in January, February, or March of next year.I highly recommended TeleChart as the leading company in its field, for the reader to sign up and use telecharts service.Mr. Worden will be getting alot of new customers from my book when they read about the positive things I said about TeleChart .If Stockfinder can fill my needs for stock screening, then I will make the change in my book and recommend Stockfinder to use for stock screening.The Method I use is to look for stocks that are CURRENTLY in an Uptrend or a Downtrend.I use a weekly chart to determine if the stock is in a current trend up or down.The indicators I look at on the weekly chart to determine a trend are the following: 9-18-27 week exponential moving averages paying closer attention to what the 9 week EMA is doing then I have theMACD- HISTOGRAM chart with the MACD fast and slow lines(10 WEEK FAST LINE AND 22 WEEK SLOW LINE), parameters on MACD chart are 10-22-8 week settings.All MACD lines and bars are exponential. Then I look at the latest MACD histogram bar to see if there is a meaningful difference up or down (depending on the direction of the 9 week EMA line and the MACD 10 week fast line) , then I look at the volume bars, I also have a 3 week simple moving average line overlaid over the volume bars to look at what the volume has been doing over the last 3 weeks.Then I check the OHLC price bars,I then analyze if I have a trend.If I have an uptrend or downtrend I then go to the daily chart and I look at th daily slow stochastic chart with the 2 lines.(Paramater settings of 5 day- 3 day- 3day.) I am looking for the 2 lines to contradict my weekly trend, hoping that it is a temporary correction, then I look for a certain trigger the next day which if reached would be the ideal time to purchase the option on that stock.The problem in using Zacks co for their rating service is each night I screen for stocks that are in a current trend when I punch in that I want a 1 or 2 rated stock,Zacks says that their 1 or 2 rated stocks in their opinion will be going up in price over the next 3 to 6 months and when I look at those stocks each night I hardly ever find a 1 or 2 rated stock in an uptrend, its usually a downtrend and I am getting mixed signals from my indicators of 9 weekEMA and MACD fast line and MACD histogram bars, they hardly ever all agree on the same direction of the trend. On the flip side If when Zacks gives me a 4 or 5 ranking on a stock they are saying in their opinion that the stock will be going down in price over the next 3 to 6 months, I never hardly find a CURRENT downtrend on those stocks and also am receiving mixed signals from my parameters.I need to know what the stocks are CURRENTLY doing, not what they could be doing 3 to 6months from now.When I stock screen each night the parameters I use are the following:Stocks that are currently trading at $30.00 per share and higher, stocks that are averaging 500000(five hundred thousand) shares traded daily over the last 20 days, not a total of 500000shares over the last 20 days but averaging trading 500000 shares each day over the last 20 days.Next only stocks that are optionable, and finally I need somehow to know what stocks are CURRENTLY in an uptrend or downtrend if possible.Now besides these screening tools if you can recommend any other tools I should be using that would benefit my  screening system please add them and explain what  I need to know about them.Keep in mind I am looking for stocks that are CURRENTLY trending where I can make my money on the options in a matter of 2,3,5 days , the only way to stay in longer of course is if the stock keeps going in the direction you picked.Take your time ,I have a feeling that you can give me the stock screening program I am looking for. Also when I spoke to your rep today I explained to her that each night I have been screening on the weekly chart, the current weekly bar just about on every stock was showing an open price,the notch to the left of the price bar would be at the very top of the bar and the closing price, the notch to the right of the bar would just about always be in the lower half of the bar.This is virtually impossible  , yet it is showing this on hundreds of stocks that I am screening. Under the last bar it is always showing a blue little symbol like an almost triangle shape, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.Keep in mind I am new with a computer so if you can walk me through the stock screening process that you recommend in qan easy to understand way I would greatly appreciate it.Thank you for your time and consideration.
