We’re always working on making it easier to get started with Scanz. But still, it can be a little intimidating to build a scan that delivers trade opportunities you can feel confident about. The possibilities can seem endless if you’re new to trading or using powerful scanning software. Even seasoned pros welcome a way to “lock into” amazing trades faster.

Our most powerful scans — in just a few clicks.

Choose from 70+ Scans — Built by Successful Traders, Over 20 Years

Including our most actionable scans:

• Biggest % Gainers: A scan that lets you immediately identify the stocks that are surging in real-time.
• Multi-Day Gainers: Stocks that have gained for multiple days.
• Gappers: Gap Ups for stocks that are opening up big on the day. Gap Downs for stocks that are opening down on the day.
• Crossovers: Moving Average Crossovers are some of the most useful trading patterns for uptrends and downtrends.
• Most Active: Share volume leaders, dollar volume leaders, and trades leaders.

Getting Started with Pre Built Scans

You can launch any of our prebuilt scans in just a few clicks.

1. Click “Pro Scanner” from the Launchpad Menu.
2. Select the “PreBuilt Scans” tab.
3. Select your desired scan from the dropdown menu.
4. Click “Scan Now” to launch.

You also have the option to click “Save As”.

Clicking “Save As” will save the prebuilt scan to your personal “My Scan” library. After saving, you can use the prebuilt scan as a template for creating your own custom scans.

The new tabbed design makes it easy to create and organize your watch lists and layouts.

Watchlists

Layouts

Do you ever have a scan running and wish you could make a quick modification “on the fly” without having to go and create a brand new scan? You can now do exactly that using the new “Filters” panel found at the top.

You will find this extremely useful to adjust your scans mid-day or based on changing market conditions.

1. Right-click on any Alert.
2. Select “Delete All”.
3. Confirm.

Notifications have been renamed Alerts. We feel the name Alerts represents this feature much better.

The new Toolbox section contains your core non-scanning features such as Charts, Level 2, Prints (Time & Sales), and our new Market Internals.

The Launchpad can now be set to “horizontal” mode to take up even less space. Just click on the “Change View” icon to change it from vertical to horizontal and back again.

The “window linking” icon has been moved to the top left corner next to the window title.

The icons have been compressed into a sleek menu found at the top of each window.

The menu options are:

Save as Default – allows you to save your default window preferences such as visible columns, column width, window size and window position on screen. When SAVE is clicked, all future windows for that feature will open with the saved preferences.

Open Settings – opens the system settings window where you can fully customize all of your global settings for each feature.

Hide Top Panel – Let’s you hide or show the top navigation panel on any window. This is great to maximize screen real estate when the navigation is not being used or needed.

Take Snapshot – take an instant snapshot of any individual feature or of your entire monitor. This is great to use when sending us technical support cases. It is also great to share images of your windows on social media or between friends.

Clone Window – Let’s you duplicate any window.

Export to Excel – download the data to MS Excel.

Edit Title – Let’s you edit the title of any window strictly for Layouts purposes.

The navigation is now left-aligned and does not collapse when the window is squeezed horizontally (made narrow).

Selected indicators are now displayed at the top of the “Indicators” menu and can be removed from there as well.

A new “Preferences “ menu has been added. This menu contains options including extended hours charts, crosshair, quote info and much more.

The dropdown colors are more seamless and easier on the eyes.

We are adding many more incredible capabilities to our charts based on your feedback and suggestions. They will be released soon!

The news stories and SEC filings have always updated real-time….but the Level 1 quote data in the window had a delay (Last, Volume, Trades, % Chg, etc.). Now all of the data next to the headlines is real-time as well! No other News streamer in the industry has true real-time data alongside the news. This gives you a huge advantage in assessing news runners.

Ps. We have a major News update coming up that includes a new column “% Change since News“. You will be able to see exactly how the stock has reacted to the news in one glance!
