In this video, I want to show you
[1]
how I use the TradingView
[3]
stock screener to find the best
[5]
stocks to trade.
[6]
TradingView is a software that is
[8]
available for free.
[10]
They also have a low-cost version
[12]
and I believe it's only $14.95.
[14]
And there's a lot of things that you
[16]
can do with TradingView.
[17]
Today we're going to focus on
[19]
the stock screener.
[20]
So let's jump onto the computer
[22]
right now and let me show you how
[24]
I personally use the stock
[26]
screener to find the best stocks to
[28]
trade. So let's actually
[30]
go back here for a moment
[32]
to just tradingview.com,
[34]
because when you go to their
[35]
website, this is what
[37]
it looks like.
[38]
And as you can see, there's no
[40]
chart. There's some news
[42]
here, I believe, and
[44]
some basic charts.
[44]
So in order to get to the stock
[46]
screener, you can do it right from
[48]
here.
[49]
I recommend that you bring up any
[51]
stock, it doesn't really matter.
[53]
So here, for this example, I'm just
[55]
bringing up Apple.
[57]
And as soon as you click on Apple,
[59]
you want to click here on
[60]
full-featured chart
[62]
as it comes up.
[63]
So it's loading here for a moment.
[64]
We will see right here, full-featured
[66]
chart.
[67]
So you want to click on this.
[70]
So once you do, you will now
[72]
see a full-featured chart that looks
[74]
kind of like this
[76]
and you will see you have a chart
[77]
here. Then at the bottom, you'll
[79]
see that there's a stock screener,
[81]
text notes and on the right-hand
[82]
side, you also have quite a few
[84]
symbols.
[85]
Now, let's talk about the first
[87]
one here on the upper right.
[90]
This is where you can have your
[91]
watchlist of the stocks that you're
[93]
watching. Now, I like to look at the
[95]
indices here, like to look at
[96]
Bitcoin, crude oil, and
[98]
gold. These are the symbols
[100]
that I am watching.
[101]
Now, here is where
[103]
the stock screener comes in.
[105]
The third or fourth button down
[107]
here on the right-hand side
[109]
is showing the so-called hotlist.
[111]
So there are three predefined
[113]
hotlists that come up when you click
[115]
on this.
[115]
This is for the US exchanges, the
[117]
volume gainers.
[118]
This where you see the stocks that
[120]
really have had a lot
[122]
of volume today.
[123]
So, for example, GE up
[125]
5.6%.
[126]
Apple up 11%,
[128]
Ford up 4.4%.
[130]
You also see the percentage
[132]
gainers.
[133]
And this where you see some weird
[135]
stocks like CREX, no idea
[137]
what they're doing.
[139]
Well as you can see it was a penny
[140]
stock trading at $0.80, now trading
[142]
at $3.80.
[143]
So I didn't find this
[145]
particularly useful.
[147]
Same here for the percentage losers,
[149]
for example, you have here DRIO,
[152]
DarioHealth, didn't
[154]
find this particularly useful.
[156]
However, this is where you
[158]
can define your own scanner
[160]
and I want to show you how to do
[161]
that, and also the scanner that
[164]
I personally like to use the best.
[166]
So when you click on the lower left,
[167]
on the stock screener, it brings
[170]
up the stock screener and you have
[172]
predefined screeners in there.
[174]
And look at this, all that
[176]
we talked about right now, the
[177]
volume leaders that we had on
[179]
the right-hand side, as
[181]
well as the top gainers
[183]
and the top losers, we have
[185]
them right here.
[187]
You see, it doesn't really matter
[188]
which one you pick.
[190]
Just pick any for now, because
[192]
I want to show you, we pick the top
[194]
losers how I configure
[196]
this list. As you know, right
[198]
now, I am using this scanner
[201]
to find stocks where I can sell
[203]
put options as the markets
[205]
are crazy right now.
[207]
I mean, today is April 28th.
[209]
We are in Day 46 of these crazy
[211]
markets.
[212]
And while the markets have been
[214]
crashing and now are slowly coming
[216]
up, selling puts has been really,
[218]
really great. So the stock screener
[220]
that I'm about to set up right now
[222]
is for exactly that
[224]
purpose.
[225]
But as you follow along, you'll see
[226]
that you can use this screener in
[228]
many, many ways and
[230]
let me show you exactly how to
[232]
set it up.
[233]
So, again, it doesn't matter, you
[234]
just pick any of the predefined
[236]
lists, I'm picking the top losers
[238]
list. Now, this is where I
[240]
like to go to filters
[242]
and I like to adjust
[244]
the filters to meet my
[246]
criteria.
[247]
Let me show you one more time how to
[249]
get there.
[250]
You see this big blue button on
[252]
the upper right here of this
[254]
list.
[255]
So when you click on filters,
[257]
that's where you can adjust it.
[259]
Here is how I like to
[261]
adjust it.
[261]
I want to see a percent change
[264]
where the stock today is
[266]
losing more than 2%.
[268]
So I'm entering a minus two
[270]
here.
[271]
The last price, I like to take
[273]
a look at stocks that are trading
[275]
between $5
[277]
and $150.
[279]
So this is just me,
[281]
yours might be different I'm just
[282]
showing you how to use this
[284]
scanner.
[285]
Now, in terms of symbol type, this
[287]
is the third thing out of four
[289]
that I'm going to change.
[291]
Here I'm only looking at common
[293]
stock.
[294]
So I'm unselected depositary
[296]
received and ETFs.
[298]
So again, super easy.
[300]
All I need to do is that
[302]
I adjust four different
[304]
settings.
[305]
I'll leave the exchange as is.
[307]
But the one thing that I'm looking
[309]
for here right now is
[311]
the volume filter.
[312]
So again, just to briefly recap,
[315]
I am changing the change percent
[317]
to a negative 2, I'm changing
[319]
the last to between $5
[322]
and $150, the symbol
[324]
stock to common stock.
[325]
And the fourth thing that I'm
[327]
changing is the volume.
[329]
I would like to see stocks that
[331]
are trading at least
[334]
a million shares per day
[336]
up to whatever more than
[338]
50 million.
[339]
So these are the
[341]
only four things that
[343]
I'm changing.
[344]
And by doing this, you see that
[346]
right now I have 125
[348]
matches.
[350]
Now, this is where right now
[352]
you see top losers has
[354]
a little asterisk there so
[356]
I have changed it.
[358]
You can now save this screen
[360]
as whatever you want.
[362]
So you can use your own
[364]
name, you see, I use the name
[366]
where I said most volatile markets.
[369]
So this is where you could just say,
[371]
"OK, just a test
[373]
to show how it works."
[375]
So you can save these
[377]
settings that you just did.
[379]
And you see then whatever you're
[381]
picking, you can go back
[383]
to just the test to show how
[384]
it works.
[385]
And you have, again, your 129
[387]
matches back.
[388]
Now I want to show you how to
[390]
adjust the columns here.
[392]
This the second thing that I do.
[394]
But let me ask you thus far,
[396]
is this making sense?
[397]
Is this helpful?
[398]
Before we continue.
[399]
Because if it is, do me a favor and
[401]
click on like really quick so
[403]
that I know that we are going at the
[404]
right pace, that we are not going
[406]
too fast, and that we are not
[408]
going to slow.
[409]
So if you could do me a quick favor
[410]
hit like, I would really appreciate
[412]
it and then I'll show you how to
[414]
customize the columns.
[415]
Thank you. OK.
[416]
Let's go back to the screen here and
[418]
you see that now we have a lot of
[420]
columns here.
[421]
We have the ticker, we have the last
[423]
price that is traded it, the change.
[426]
We have the change in dollars, so
[427]
that's the change in percent, that's
[429]
a change in dollar.
[430]
A rating, the volume, the market
[432]
cap. And there are a lot of columns
[434]
that I personally do not
[436]
use. So here's the really,
[438]
really cool thing.
[439]
All you need to do to get rid of a
[440]
column is right
[442]
mouse click on it and remove
[444]
the column. So I like to
[446]
keep the ticker, I like to keep
[448]
the last price, I would like to know
[450]
this. And I like the percent
[452]
change. I don't need the change
[454]
in dollars.
[456]
But again, for you, it might be
[457]
different this is why I want to show
[458]
you how to do this in general.
[460]
But I'm removing this column here.
[463]
I also personally don't care
[465]
about the rating.
[466]
I do my own rating so I'm removing
[468]
this. And you're doing it by right
[470]
mouse clicking on the column
[472]
and remove it right here.
[474]
I don't need the volume information
[476]
because I already know that all of
[477]
these stocks are trading between
[479]
1 million and above, so
[481]
I can remove this.
[482]
I also don't care about the market
[484]
cap, right mouse click and
[487]
here we go.
[488]
The P/E ratio not important
[490]
to me, I'm removing this column, the
[491]
EPS I don't care about
[493]
it. Again, you, it can
[495]
be different for you, so you might
[497]
care about it or not.
[499]
Employees don't care about this.
[501]
And the sector is the last column
[503]
and I leave this one in.
[505]
Now, if you want, you can click on
[506]
these three dots on the right-hand
[508]
side and you can add
[510]
a bunch of columns.
[511]
As you can see, there is a lot
[513]
of information available, so
[515]
you can add as many columns
[517]
as you want.
[518]
So the only columns that I like to
[520]
see is the ticker symbol,
[522]
the last price, the change in
[524]
percent, and the sector.
[526]
Now also, in the same
[528]
way as we have saved the filter, we
[530]
can save the column
[531]
layout.
[532]
And the difference is that this is
[534]
here on the left-hand side.
[536]
So you see on the left-hand side you
[538]
have the column sets.
[539]
Here this is
[541]
where we selected the filter.
[543]
So we can go for volume gainers and
[545]
it is still using the columns that
[547]
we just defined.
[549]
Or we can go for the top
[551]
losers or what we have just
[553]
saved, just a test to show
[554]
how it works.
[555]
So we can now save our own
[557]
columns here, and we can save
[559]
this in the same way that we
[561]
say, "OK.
[562]
This is the best
[564]
layout for columns.
[567]
Just kidding."
[569]
You get the idea, right?
[570]
So you have two things that you can
[572]
save. You can save your filter
[574]
and you can save your column layout.
[576]
So going back to the filters, you
[578]
see the ones that we changed is
[580]
that we went to the change
[582]
percent below minus 2%, last
[585]
between $5 and a $150,
[587]
for the symbol type only the common
[589]
stock, and the volume we changed
[590]
from 1 million and above.
[592]
For the column layout, this is where
[594]
I choose the ticker,
[596]
the last price, the change in
[598]
percent, and the sector.
[600]
So you can close the screener by
[602]
clicking on height here, and
[604]
you can bring it back up by clicking
[606]
on stock screener.
[607]
And then you can quickly go through
[608]
this and look at the stocks and
[610]
see which ones of these
[612]
you like. This was just a very brief
[614]
intro on how I use TradingView
[617]
the stock screener to find the best
[618]
stocks to trade.
