Gigascanner Feature Set
|
Think of the Gigascanner as an oasis in a vast field of confusion and anxiety, bringing
to bear a small arsenal of things we've developed over the years that actually
work, while purposefully ignoring everything else. You can turn off CNBC and stop
watching real-time quotes; just gaze thoughtfully at the the charts, observe the
price and volume-based signals and indicators, reflect upon what they're telling
you, and then act (or don't act) decisively. |

Read the market with precision Amazing, proprietary signals work on individual stocks and market indexes too. This is important, since 95% or stocks will ultimately follow the overall market. Here's a recent chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average:  Climax High signals shown in red, Climax Lows in blue. GigaScanner finds these signals intraday. Key signals and indicators Computer-generated buy and sell signals can be applied to stock charts as brightly-colored price bars, otherwise known as 'paintbars' or 'flags'. The chart below (for example) has Climax High sell signals applied in red. In addition to standard indicators like Relative Strength Rank and Accumulation / Distribution, there are also special market breadth indicators, one for each of the screener conditions, like "number of stocks up > 3 consecutive days" or "number of stocks up on big volume", "number of 52-week highs", etc.  A spike in both 52Wk Highs and Climax Highs on 9/19/08. Sell! Market Breadth Indicators Unique, plottable breadth indicators show the total numbers of stocks hitting each of the various conditions and flags. For example, the chart above shows the daily numbers of 52-week highs and Climax Highs plotted in the top window. These indicators reveal the waves of the waves of buying and selling pressure graphically. You can clearly see the overbought/oversold extremes, pinpointing highs and lows to the exact day. Standard Indicators (partial list) 50 and 200-day XMAs of price 50 and 17-day XMA of volume Accumulation / Distribution Relative Strength rank Earnings Per Share rank Xma Force Xma Power Consecutive up and down days PE ratio, dividend value, dividend yield Deluxe Interface Flip through gorgeous, full-featured stock charts scaled to fit your browser window. Select from a wide range of indicators and signals, with virtually any color scheme and a color-coded data read-out. It's a powerful, responsive web-based tool. Subscribe Get a pro account to enable Symbol Lists and Workspaces. Workspaces are used to save and re-create your favorite combination of signals, indicators, stock screens, colors, etc. Symbol lists are used to save lists of your desired symbols (just as you might expect), from either the stock screener results, or your own symbols, or both. You can load your desired workspace, with your favorite set of signals and indicators, colors, etc., and flip through the charts for any of the symbol lists - or run a stock screen - or just look a symbol of interest. Step through the workspaces daily (or more frequently) to track stocks and markets systematically. There's full state memory for all the settings (the screens, filters, sorts, indicators, signals, zoom factor, time shift, even the page background color) so each workspace picks up where you last left it. Workspaces and symbol lists unleash the ultimate convenience and power of the Gigascanner as a tool for technical market analysis. |
