Starting the Scanning

• In this chapter we will show you how to run the StockEagle scanner and specify your stock filter
• To start the scanner window click on the “Basic View” button and wait until the “Basic Scan View” window appeared
• The first time you open the scan view, StockEagle will quickly load the daily prices (Open/High/Low etc)
  of all stocks and might not be responding for a little while, wait until the Day Start process is finished
• Most traders only focus on certain market segments and price ranges
  StockEagle allows you to use a filter, so that only the stocks that you would consider are scanned
• Click on "Filter" button in the top row and enter (as an example) the following parameters:
  
  and click on the "Retrieve Result" button
  In this example we specified:
  a) Price Range from $5 to $100 (using the last closing price instead of the long term 200 day average)
      (4087 stock symbols have been found in that price range)
  b) A minimum Volume of 100,000 shares (2856 stock symbols have been found with this volume)   
  c) A minimum of 100 trades on average per day (2585 stock symbols have been found with that trade average)
  d) use both exchanges (NASDAQ and NYSE/AMEX) (4894 Stock symbols are in both exchanges)
  Above the "Retrieve Result" button StockEagle shows you that 2002 stock fulfilled ALL the specified conditions!
  (If you want to actually see the all the selected stock symbols click on the "View Result" button)
• Now we will active the scanning for this specific list of stock symbol by pressing the big "Activate Now" button
• The "Stock Symbol Filter" window will close and StockEagle will immediately
  start activating our custom stock symbol list in increments of 500 stocks
  (Step1 1...500, Step2 501... 1000 and so on until the full list is activated)
• (If you are interested ONLY in NASDAQ Stocks, then click on the "Filter" button again,
  check the "include only NASDAQ": button and click again on the "Activate Now" button)
• Now StockEagle will process all incoming new ticks/trades for our stock symbol list
  (you can see the tick counter just above the "Current Time" box in the lower right corner!)
• As the market pulsates you will see all the study columns filling rapidly,
  showing you the top 18 candidates in each study
• After the initial minute the speed of the study display will slow down and the column lists will stabilize...

Now that RealTick3 and StockEagle is ready and running you can actually find your plays of the day:
The first thing when the market opens is look for GAP’s down to find stocks which “hit Granite”see Study#12 Change since last Close/Gap Down and see StockEagle Strategy#1: Hitting Granite
·    Also when the market opens is look for GAP’s up with large volume and price support to go long:see Study#11 Change since last Close/Gap Up
·    After 30 to 60 minutes you can scan for new stocks (IPO’s) to go long:see StockEagle Strategy#4: IPO Rally

·    During the day you can periodically monitor the volume and jump studies for stocks fitting StockEagle Strategy#2: News Ramp as well as StockEagle Strategy#3: Coming Home

Once you actually enter a position you close the StockEagle View by pressing the “Esc” key (or click on “Hide”)
and enter Ctrl+A (or File/Add to List) and enter the number of shares and entry price etc.

To go back to the StockEagle View just click on the large “Open StockEagle” button on the top.

When you close a position click on the line of the position and click on the “Close” button
and enter your closing price. StockEagle will calculate your Profit/Loss in $ and % as well
