The Indicator Scan Module incorporates scanning criteria and techniques comparable to those used by professional analysts with sophisticated technical scanning programs designed to quickly find stocks with the best potential for profitable moves. Vector2000 makes many of these same scans available to you on a daily basis. Predefined scans are grouped by type with a "Summary" page that shows you the number of results for each scan. Each scan's results are linked to charting tools for easy study. Below is a list of the Scans provided daily, their interpretation and parameters used.

Parameters: Default parameters are displayed for all scan criteria used by this system. The term "bars" means days and is used to represent actual trade days (close prices) vs. calendar days.
