Scans - Find Opportunities - Overview
Stagnant? Uncertain? Bearish or Bullish? Short or long term? No problem!
This “Find” category is where to find opportunities based on current Market activity and outlook, or select opportunities based on events, such as Earnings or Dividend announcements.
Whether looking for opportunities based on The Score, Events, Chart Patterns, Bullish, Bearish, Stagnant or Unknown outlook, a scan will help you find potential trade opportunities. 
You can drill-down for scans by Category, Sub-Categories, then Group.
Example: Strategy>Time Spreads>Call Calendar Spreads. You can use the drop-down box, above the Category boxes to search for the scan you want or type in the box a generality about the scan. Examples: “Earning”, “Bull”, “Bearish”. “Score”, “Red”, “Green” will yield scans with that particular name in the scan
Designed to provide the level of information you want
As much information you want. When you want it.
Each of our scoring algorithms are derived from several factors, all captured in a user-friendly format.
The stock dashboard provides a more detail summary layer view of The Score. Each component: Technical, Inner Circle, Valuation and Fundamentals allows you the ability to obtain the information you want, when you want it – and kept tucked away, when you don’t.
The Dashboard Scan Tab
Get the current ‘story’ on a stock.
The Scan Tab is particularly interesting. In addition to providing a list of scans the stock is currently included in, it can give you a “story” about the stock. Based on the scans that the stock is showing up in, you can get an overview of outlook on the stock.
For example: JNJ shows solid longer term positive outlook.
XOM Shows stagnant with improving longer term outlook
