Quick answer
The market scanner filters hundreds of symbols with ready-made criteria — top gainers and losers, most active, and level breakouts — to hand you a short, analysable shortlist instead of browsing the market manually.
| Asset | Price | Daily Change | RSI(14) | MACD | EMA20 / EMA50 | ATR(14) | Verdict |
|---|
The scanner screens a wide asset list and ranks it by measurable criteria such as percentage change, volume and proximity to period highs or lows. Its purpose is not an entry signal but shrinking the market from hundreds of symbols to a short list worth manual analysis.
The best use is shifting time from searching to analysing. Opening twenty random charts drains focus before you find anything; starting from a filtered list reaches a decision faster.
Scan at the same time each day — comparing results across days is what reveals assets building sustained movement rather than one-session noise.
A strong scanner result is not a reason to enter. A big riser may be ending its move; a faller may be starting a long downtrend. Treat the scanner as stage one, then demand clear structure from the chart: a known trend, a defined entry and a logical stop.
With levels set, use the lot size calculator to convert stop distance into a size that fits your risk, and the pip calculator for the dollar value of each move. Log the idea in your journal even if you skip it — comparing what you did with what you could have done is the fastest way to improve your own scan criteria. Educational only, not investment advice.
