ScanTickers Quick Guide
ScanTickers is built for fast, repetitive chart review. This page is quick guide for the site:
arrow navigation, search, dashboard, and what the
main watchlists mean.
Pro tip: Use large display at least full HD to benefit from ScanTickers. Use the
keyboard. Mouse is fine, but the keyboard is how you finish a 500-ticker review before your coffee gets
cold.
1) Navigation in the chart grid
-
↑ ↓ Scroll thorough thousands of charts in a watchlist with simple up and
down arrow
-
← → Left arrow will add to your focused list/ dashboard and right arrow will
deselect that. As easy as that. Only applies to 12M wrap/MTF view.
- PgUp / PgDn Move tickers in watchlist by 10 up or down.
- Home / End Jump to first / last item in the watchlist.
-
Type Type 2-3 letters to search for any ticker. If ticker is available in our
watchlists, you can select and move to the ticker's chart. If not, you will be directed to another
reliable data source.
- Enter Open the ticker chart from search drop down.
- Esc Close search box or open panel.
2) Search (fastest way to jump tickers)
-
/ Focus the search box (common web pattern). If this isn’t wired on your
build, click the search input once and you’re good.
-
Search accepts: AAPL, NASDAQ:AAPL, or plain names like
Apple (results vary by dataset).
- If a ticker isn’t in ScanTickers, we will redirect you to another reliable source.
3) Add to Dashboard (your personal “do-not-forget” list)
-
Use the Dashboard as a short list of names you want to revisit (setups, breakouts,
earnings risk, etc.).
-
Typical UX patterns :
-
★ / + button on a tile/header to add/remove
from Dashboard.
- A “Saved” / “Pinned” state that persists across refreshes (if enabled).
- Best practice: keep Dashboard small (10–50) to ensure you remain focused.
4) What the watchlists mean
-
Markets 250: Curated Indexes / ETFs / Futures and other macro proxies (e.g., major
indices, futures, world stocks/sectors/FX/commodities/crypto). Use this to set context or if you
trade or invest in markets.
-
Liquid 1000 Stocks: Curated most Liquid Stocks of the world based on turnover —
higher liquidity names meant for fast review and execution reality (less junk, fewer illiquid
traps).
-
Top 500 Stocks: Curated stocks showing a cocktail of liquidity, price
performance/relative strength and fundamental/sales+earnings growth- all in one. For traders or
investors who seek only best names.
-
Selected Stocks / Leaders / Relative Strength: Names exhibiting persistent
outperformance vs. the broader tape (useful for trend continuation and pullback buys). For serious
traders or investors.
-
All Stocks (broad set): Larger universe scan (more coverage, more noise). Great for
discovery, slower for daily review. For very serious traders or investors.
-
Dashboard: Your curated shortlist. Treat it like a trader’s clipboard, not a museum
archive.
