Barcharts and other useful sites

[Deaddog]

there are so many facets to the site its hard to explain. I can say this that I look at every single item on the menu on the left side at some point every week or so. I'm not locked in to trading either long or short so I'm always looking for a stock which is presenting a specific movement in one direction or another for any number of reasons. Barchart provides me with plenty of stocks (leads) which I then apply what they have to say about the stock into my own interpretation of its chart and my own parameters. It's the leads that I am looking for. I also write and run my own scans along with theirs in the never ending search for viable leads. you can never have enough leads to peruse thru. Barchart will do that for you to a large extent freeing up your time and energy.
Do you think it is a worthwhile site and worth the time to utilize it?

Looks like a good site. Can you walk us thru how you use it?

What is the first page you go to after you bring up the home page?

What are you looking for?

Are there any features you use regularly?

My routine now is to scan for leads on Finvis.com; check out any I like on Stockcharts.com; I have a subscription to stock charts and use the annotation feature for record keeping.

I have had a subscription to stockcharts.com for probably close to 10 years. Theirs are the only charts and chart service I use. I dont have any particular pattern for using Barcharts. I go there several times everyday and depending on what I am thinking about at that moment is where I go to on their menu. I'm always looking for some specific situation or pattern that I know has a higher percentage of moving in the direction I might be looking for in its chart. I have no distinct like or dislike towards trading either long or short so when I find a stock that shows something I like and I feel it will make a move in that direction I make the play. so when I go to barchart i am looking for leads. then I go to stockcharts to look at the chart.

My evening routine is as follows:

Use finvis to scan for new 52 week highs. Throw in a couple of filters to keep the number reasonable.

I then export the results to Excel. Do a little more filtering and come up with a list of new daily highs. I now check this list against the watch list, add any new stocks to the watchlist so that I have a list of stocks that have recently made new highs.

Using this list I use stockscarts scan to look for price action I’m interested in and narrow the list down to a few stocks I’ll watch the next day.

I have an excel spreadsheet that I use to determine where I might take a trade.
I input where I might enter, where a logical stop is, what I’d like for an initial target.
The spreadsheet calculates risk reward and position size. If all signals are go I’ll watch the price action in the morning and make a decision whether to take a trade or pass.

on the menu on the left at barchart there will be "stocks making new 52 wk. highs", "stocks making new 52 wk. lows" and a number of other scans for high volume, low volume, etc. they give you all the info you need for a number of different situations. they provide all the info you would need.

Finvis gives me stocks making 52 week highs that trade greater than 500k per day, cost more than $7.00, have the MAs stacked, positive ROE/ Debt/equity/profit margin. You have a lot of filters you can use.

Once I have a list I use stockcharts to further refine my criteria.

I tried Mr Market scans but ended up with far too many choices. Being a lazy dog I like to keep things simple.

everyone should use what makes them feel comfortable and works for them. I can only wish you the best and good luck. you seem to know what you want to do and how to go about doing it. thats what counts.
