How to use
a stock scanner.

Start with the observation, not the conclusion

A scanner reduces a large market universe to a smaller list using rules such as price movement, volume, trend, liquidity, or time. It identifies conditions that deserve review; it does not explain the full story or predict what happens next.

Five checks before taking a move seriously

1. Timestamp: confirm when the observation was created and whether the price is still current.
2. Market: compare the symbol with the broader index and its industry group.
3. Liquidity: review volume, spread, price, and whether an exit could be difficult.
4. Event risk: look for earnings, filings, economic releases, or company-specific news.
5. Invalidation: write down what would make the idea no longer fit your plan.

Avoid chasing the newest row

Fast movement can attract attention after much of the move has already happened. Let the data update, review the spread and volume, and decide whether the setup still makes sense at the current price. If the risk cannot be explained in plain language, it is not ready for action.
