Here are some of the most common questions we receive about the MomentumDetector. If you have a question that isn’t answered here, please reach out to us at support.
Can I use the scanners for swing trading or long term investments ?
While the scanners can identify precise moments when a stock may begin a multi-day move, they are primarily designed for day trading. The scanners are optimized to detect stocks likely to make significant price movements within minutes or hours. Their intended audience consists of day traders and scalpers who close their positions before the market closes, rather than holding overnight.
