I did not make any trades today. I meant to I really did, but I became very absorbed in what I was doing and before I knew it I had worked through lunch and the trading day was over. Although I didn’t make any trades, today was hardly a wasted day, in fact it was probably one of my most productive in a long time.

As many of you know, I started trading in the equities markets and only recently switched over to trading futures exclusively. Part of the reason I wanted out of the equities market was because it was just taking me too many hours (anywhere from 2-4) scanning the markets, pulling up charts, and doing research each night. So I spent my day today working on a Radar Screen stock screener tailored to meet my style and the plays I look for.

It is a work in progress and I’ll go over the kinds of plays that the screener locates in future posts. But for now I’ll post what I have and let you have a look for yourself.

This particular scan was done on the 15-minute interval. In short the screener is great at finding potential Price Divergence plays and stocks that have recently hit new highs/lows and are consolidating. I gotta run now, but I’m excited about the potential to finally start taking advantage of some opportunities in the equities markets again.
