Scans for Day Trading Stocks
Advanced Scanners
If you can’t find what you need in our built-in list of scanners, just switch to Advanced mode and you can utilize your coding skills as well. The scans are fully customizable and can be rewritten by you in C# code. You can create the exact rules by which Hammer can scan stocks and match your professional strategy.
By setting up your scanner to search for Inside bars you can narrow down the list of stocks on your watch list to only those that show signs of a potential breakout.
Or if you have a broad range of investments you can easily go through all of them and see which ones are expected to do nothing for the time being. This can be checked on all desired time frames including custom ones of your preference.
