QM Screener
Everything that has changed in QM Screener, newest first.
The chart's drawing tools have Long and Short positions and Price and Date ranges. Click a price to place a position: its target and stop zones show each level's distance and percentage from the entry, with the risk/reward ratio, and you can drag the target, the stop, the entry or the right edge. Prices measures the move between two prices and Dates the bars and days between two bars. Each is saved per ticker and included in the chart image.
The chart's drawing tools have a Rectangle, for marking a price zone or a base. Click one corner and then the opposite one, and drag any corner or the box itself to move it. Color sets its colour, and Style, or a double-click on it, opens its settings: a border that is solid, dashed, dotted or off, and a label shown in the middle of the box. Each is saved per ticker.
The price chart can now save its indicator settings as a named layout and put them back with one click. A layout holds which indicators and panes are on, the moving-average periods and the panes' order and heights; the interval, the range and the colours stay as they are. Layouts, beside Indicators, saves, updates, renames and deletes them, and a dot on it means the chart has changed since. Layouts follow your account, up to 20.
Stocks under SIC code 7374, computer processing and data preparation, now carry the Technology sector instead of Industrials. RingCentral, Five9 and Reddit are among them. That code's sector had been set by a two-to-one vote of just three sector-fund holdings. A four-digit code now needs at least four holdings or a 70% majority before it overrules the three-digit group it sits in, and that group, software and computer services, is mostly Technology.
A stock a sector fund holds now takes that fund's sector, so Accenture reads Technology, Uber reads Industrials and Danaher reads Health Care. Other stocks keep the sector their SIC code gives them. The sector chip's tooltip, the details panel and the heat map say which source chose it; the holdings come from the funds' public SEC filings, which lag by a quarter or more. Sector RS ranks move for the names that changed sector.
The chart's drawing tools have a vertical line, Vert (⌥V, Alt+V off a Mac). Click a bar and the line spans the price pane, its date tagged on the time axis; type a label for its foot or press Enter to leave it plain, and double-click it later to change the label. A new Style button draws a vertical line, price line, ray or trendline solid, dashed or dotted, and Color recolours it. Each is saved per ticker.
Two new guides explain swing trading and compare four ways to screen for it. The guide at /swing-trading covers the days-to-weeks horizon, daily and weekly charts, and how dollar volume, ADR% and relative strength are measured. The one at /swing-trading-strategies compares momentum continuation, trend confirmation, volatility contraction and momentum pullbacks, and names the screen that applies each one.
The free account now has a page of its own at /free-stock-screener: what it shows and what a paid plan adds. It also answers the questions people ask before signing up, such as which markets are covered, when the lists refresh and whether a card is needed.
The heat map on the Market tab can now be narrowed to one sector, one industry or theme, or one market. The markets are the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100, the Dow Jones, the Russell 2000 and every stock listed on Nasdaq. The four indexes are read from the holdings a fund tracking each one reports in its public SEC filings, which lag by a quarter or more, so a stock may have joined or left an index since.
The Market tab now ends with a heat map: one tile per stock the screener has a sector for, grouped by sector and sized by 50-day dollar volume. Tiles are coloured by the day's change, or by RS percentile or 1- or 3-month return from the switch above, and pressing a tile opens that stock's chart. It shows in windows 961 pixels wide and up; a free account sees the names in its free preview.
While the dashboard is still fetching the day's lists, it now shows a quiet outline of the rows in their place instead of a "No data loaded" card and tab counts of zero. The outline follows the layout the lists are about to take, and it gives way to the empty-state card if the lists cannot be fetched.
Multiple Charts can now open the funds the strength tape tracks as one list per group: Sector funds, Industry funds and Theme funds, under Funds in the Choose charts menu. Each list is in the tape's own order, its 3-month strength against SPY, and can also be sorted by symbol. The fund lists open on a free account too.
Multiple Charts can now sort a list before it is paged, by RS 3M, 3M return, ADR %, $Vol 50d, the day's change or symbol, in either direction. There are ten layouts, from 2 × 1 to 4 × 4, so a workspace holds up to sixteen symbols, and a preset paged by its passing members shows a check mark on the Choose charts button.
Multiple Charts can now save every chart on screen as one PNG file. The download button sits beside the copy button, and both make the same image with the same file name.
Multiple Charts now has one row of controls. Choose charts opens one menu with a search, your filtered list, your saved groups and every sector, industry and theme, and a pick applies at once. The pages sit beside it, the layout, range and averages on the right, and saving, updating or deleting a group lives in the Save menu.
Category presets now open as pages you can step through instead of stopping at nine or twelve charts, with a 1–9 of 84 count and Previous and Next. A Passing only switch, on by default, pages each preset by the members that pass Momentum Continuation. Load selection pages through up to 500 names of the filtered list, and the page is saved with your workspace. Editing the charts or saving a group keeps them as your own.
The group chooser now includes Sectors, Industries and Themes. Presets use all known category members in the available universe snapshot, including stocks that failed the screen, independently of the strategy selected. They show the snapshot date and member count, loading up to nine or twelve in RS 3M order. Rearrange or edit the symbols, then save your own group. Missing membership is shown as unavailable. Your saved groups stay separate.
Multiple Charts now keeps volume green on up candles and red on down candles when price candles are black and white, including the reversed scheme and custom greys. Price colours stay as set, and copied group images use the same volume colours. Saving and other actions now use the dashboard's existing notification cards instead of a persistent inline message. A storage failure shows an error without a success confirmation.
Multiple Charts, between Chart and Table, shows nine charts in 3 by 3 or twelve in 4 by 3. Load a filtered selection, rearrange symbols, and save named groups that sync across devices. Apply 1M, 3M, 6M or 1Y to the group; zoom each chart independently. Moving averages stay shared with Chart. Side panels start closed. Copy the group as one PNG with ticker and domain watermarks. Phones reflow the charts; exports keep the chosen arrangement.
The chart's drawing tools have a Fibonacci retracement, Fib. Click where a swing starts, then where it ends: level 1 sits at the first click and 0 at the second, each ratio a line labelled with its price. Double-click a retracement to set each level's ratio and colour or hide a level; every retracement shares one set. Drag an end to move that end, or a level line to move the whole retracement. Each is saved per ticker.
A candle's body is now centred on its wick at every zoom. At six months and wider, small bodies and dojis could draw as a tick to one side of the wick; they now cross it evenly, on the chart and in its PNG export.
What QM Screener costs now has a page of its own at /pricing, linked from every footer. It sets the free plan beside the monthly and annual ones, lists what each includes, and names all seven screens. The same text is served as markdown to an AI assistant that asks for it.
Momentum Pullback, a seventh screen, lists the Momentum Continuation names that ran well above their 50-day average and are back near their 20-day EMA. The rule: a close at least 15% above the 50-day in the last 20 sessions, and today a close within one average daily range of the 20-day EMA or inside the EMA band. It shares a screen family with Momentum Continuation, and the details panel and the digest's lead count families. The guide has the backtest.
The Setup filter is now a checklist: tick BASE and TIGHT together, or any mix of the five tags. On a paid plan each tag shows how many names it would leave under your other filters, and with nothing ticked the list is not filtered by setup. Exported cards, captions and filenames name the cut you made. Each tag's tooltip now spells out the rule behind it, in the numbers the screen uses.
In a wide window the Market tab has a new breadth card and fund tiles. The card shows how many stocks pass your screen, the change from a week ago, the share of measured US stocks above their 20-, 50- and 200-day averages, and a sparkline that opens its history. Each tile keeps its sparkline, adds the fund's name and return, and is tinted in your up or down colour by whether it beat SPY. Narrow windows are unchanged.
Scrollbars that stay on screen, as most do on Windows and Linux and on a Mac that shows them all the time, are now slim and in the page's own colours. The wide grey bars are gone, and list rows keep their full width. Scrollbars that only appear while you scroll, as on a trackpad Mac, phone or tablet, are unchanged. A long theme tag on a list row now shortens so the row's price stays in line.
Appearance now has three short parts. Up / down colours sets which colour means a gain on numbers, sector tiles and breadth arrows, previewing the numbers and tiles. Candles has a switch: Same as up/down, or Own colours for the body, border and wick. Share colours, folded at the bottom, copies your chart colours as a link or previews someone else's. The white up, black down choice is gone; anyone still on it now sees green up, red down.
In windows wider than 960 pixels, the dashboard now has a rail down the left, your list beside it, and Chart, Table and Market tabs. Details open beside the chart and say which screens a name passes. A bar along the bottom says whether the data is up to date and shows the day's move in SPY, QQQ and IWM. The rail holds search, your watchlist and What's new. Phones and narrow windows look the same as before.
With Momentum Continuation now starting at RS 85, its breadth count steps up at the change because the rule changed, not the market. So that screen's history restarts its comparisons there: the 20-day average, the arrow and the percentile count only sessions under the new rule, and stay blank until 20 have run. The History chart keeps the earlier bars and breaks its average line at the change. The daily email's breadth line follows the same rule.
The Momentum Continuation list now admits stocks with a relative-strength percentile above 85, down from 93. Strong names consolidating just below the old top-7% cutoff now make the list, which is roughly twice as long: 121 names became about 227 on the October 2 close. Pick ≥ 93 in the RS filter for the shorter list. The breadth history steps up on this date because the rule changed, not the market.
A Grid button beside Log in the chart's toolbar hides the grid lines, and ⌥G does the same from the keyboard. The prices and dates along the axes stay, and so do the MACD zero line and the RSI band. Saved and copied chart images follow the setting. The grid is on until you turn it off, and your choice follows you to every device you sign in on.
Drag the line between two chart panes, such as the candles and volume, to make one taller and the other shorter. Double-click a line to put every pane back. From the keyboard, Tab to a line and use the up and down arrows. The candles always keep enough room to read. Your sizes follow you to every device you sign in on. Phones, upright or sideways, and phone-narrow windows show no lines; sizes set elsewhere still apply there.
Volume, MACD, KD, RSI, ADR and the volume profile now have colours you can change: the gear beside one in the Indicators menu, or on its pane, opens that indicator's colours, and the chart changes as you pick. Candles take colours of their own in Appearance. There you can also copy your chart colours as a link, or paste someone else's to preview before applying. Your choices follow you to every device you sign in on.
In the preview of today's top names on the home page, press a ticker to see its chart under the row: up to three months of daily candles and volume, with the 10, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages. No account needed to look. To zoom, draw or switch to weekly candles, open the interactive chart with a free account.
The sign-up page and the page where you choose your password now ask whether you want the free daily email: the top names on each screen, mailed after every US close. The box is ticked to start with, and you can untick it. On the sign-up page it sits beside Sign up with Google. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and the box never signs up an address that unsubscribed before.
In subscribers' digest email, the number next to each of the three charted names' price is now that day's change, close against the previous close. It used to be the three-month return, which read like a day's move. The three-month return is still there, in the line under the chart.
History on the Breadth card has a copy icon next to the range buttons. It puts the chart you're looking at on your clipboard as an image, with the screen, the range, the index line and today's rank, ready to paste into a post or a chat. If your browser won't allow that, it saves the image instead. The chart itself is simpler too: one bar style and no caption.
A new pane under Indicators: RSI (14), Wilder's relative strength index on a 0–100 scale, with lines at 30 and 70 and the band between them shaded. It follows the interval — a weekly chart shows a weekly RSI — reads under the crosshair like the other panes, moves with the arrows on its label, appears in a saved PNG, and is remembered with the rest of your view.
Two new panes under Indicators: KD (9, 3, 3), the stochastic as it is read in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and ADR, the stock's average daily range over time (on the daily chart, the same number as the ADR% column). Each pane now has its own label with its values, arrows to move it, even above the candles, and an × to remove it. Your order is remembered. The Indicators menu is now split into Overlays and Panes.
On an iPad with a mouse or trackpad, dragging across the chart to pan it could paint the whole chart in the blue of a text selection. A drag on the chart now only pans, draws or measures, on every device and browser. Typing a note still works as before.
The indicator legend at the top left of the chart now folds away behind a small arrow, so it no longer covers the price on a small screen. On a phone it starts folded; press the arrow to open it, and again to put it away. On a wider screen it starts open, as before.
The Custom choice in Appearance now sets the candle body, border and wick separately, each with its own rising and falling colour. The body colours still colour the numbers and the sector strip; border and wick are the chart's alone. Like every other appearance setting, your colours follow your account to each device you sign in on.
The chart's drawing tools have an Arrow: click where it starts, then the bar it points at. Use it to mark a breakout or an entry. Every drawing can now take a colour too: select it and press Color, and that tool keeps the colour for its next drawing. The dot beside each moving average in the chart's legend does the same for that line. Colours follow your account and adjust to the light and dark themes.
The ⋯ menu now holds three groups: help, setup and your account. The log and JSON-file controls, which were tools for running the screener rather than using it, are gone from it. Copy passing tickers moved to the Export sheet and now follows its Filtered / All switch. Keyboard shortcuts no longer show on a phone.
A Breadth card beside Strength shows how many names pass the current screen today against their 20-day average, with SPY, QQQ and IWM. History charts the count session by session; sessions before this release were replayed against today's universe, so since-delisted names are missing. The top of the page is tidier too: Filters sit behind one button, Watchlist and Export beside the view switch, and the header says when the data was last updated.
The chart's Fullscreen button and ⌥F now fill the browser tab instead of taking over the whole display, so the tab bar and address bar stay put. Press Escape once to leave fullscreen and again to close the chart. It now works on iPhone too, which has no fullscreen of its own.
Confirmations such as "Chart copied" now appear as cards in the bottom-right corner, stacked, each with an icon and a button to dismiss it. They wait while you hover over them and never cover the toolbar.
The chart's toolbar has a copy button beside download. It puts the same PNG on your clipboard, ready to paste into a journal, a chat or a post without saving a file first.
Show all on the strength strip now slides the full view down over the page instead of pushing the table down and hauling it back up. The page behind dims and blurs, and the row you were reading is exactly where you left it. Every fund in a group is on screen at once too — the rows wrap instead of scrolling sideways. Press Esc, the dimmed page, or Show less to put it away.
Most theme tiles now filter, like the sectors above them: press Uranium and the table cuts to the uranium names, with a count on the tile. The small symbol beside it still opens the fund's chart. AI and Quantum still chart instead. Membership comes from funds' public SEC filings and lags a quarter or more; a member's row carries a theme chip, and the bucket picker has a Themes column.
Type a letter with the chart filling the screen and the search opens where you can see it. It used to open behind the chart: the box was really there and really listening, so the keystrokes went somewhere and nothing came back. Pick a name and the chart changes without leaving fullscreen. ⌘K and the search button open the same box.
The strip above the table has a third group: Themes — bitcoin and its miners, gold, cybersecurity, AI, uranium, quantum, space and solar, ranked against SPY like the rest. Pick a group at the top of the strip and it is remembered. A theme tile opens that fund's chart instead of filtering the table, since a theme cuts across sectors. The row you knew as Themes is now Industries, and Show all opens every group at once.
The chart toolbar holds only how you look: interval, range, candles or line, Log, and PNG. Everything you look at — SMA 50 and 200, the three EMAs and their periods, Volume, MACD and VRVP — sits behind one Indicators button that counts them. Each average, MACD and VRVP you switch on is named at the chart's top-left, with an eye to hide it and × to remove it. Either way it stays off until you switch it back on.
Press VRVP in the chart toolbar for a volume profile of the bars on screen: a histogram down the right edge showing how much traded at each price, the point of control as a line across the chart with its price on the axis, and the 70% value area in a stronger shade. It follows every pan, zoom, range and interval change, appears in a saved PNG, and is remembered like every other chart setting.
Click a chart button with the mouse — Fullscreen, Log, MACD, an average — and the next Space used to press that same button again instead of moving to the next stock. Now it moves on. A button you reach with Tab still takes Space the way it always has, and Esc out of the EMA period editor still puts you back on the ⚙.
Press ? anywhere on the dashboard for the full list of keyboard shortcuts — moving through a screen, working the chart, and drawing on it. It is in the ⋯ menu too. The line under the chart is now just the keys for walking the list, and the chart header has a bookmark button, so adding a name to your watchlist no longer means remembering a shortcut or closing the chart to find the row.
The chart header now says what a trader checks first: 20-day ADR, average dollar volume, the RS percentile and the setup tag, beside the ticker and the price. The date range and session count that used to sit there are gone — the axis already says both. RS and the setup show only for names on the screen you are looking at; a symbol you searched for shows its ADR and volume.
Drag the price axis on the right of a chart up or down and the candles compress or stretch to match — room for a whole base, or a close look at a tight one. Scrolling over the same strip does it in steps. The Reset button beside fullscreen lights up once you have moved the view, and puts both axes back. The marker dot on the hovered candle is gone; on a line chart it stays.
The screens now refresh at 4:25 pm ET every trading day, about three hours earlier than before, and subscribers' digest email follows a few minutes later — so the list is ready while the session is still fresh. Prices are the regular-session close. Volume counts trading through about 4:10 pm, so most after-hours trading — a reaction to earnings released after the bell, say — is left out.
If you already subscribe, nothing changes: you stay on the price your subscription was created at, for as long as you keep it. New subscriptions are $10 a month or $84 a year — still one tier, every screen, every chart, every export, and still a 7-day free trial before the first charge. The free plan is untouched: a verified email, no card, and the top names on each screen every day.
The RS filter used to narrow only upward — top 5%, 3%, 1%. Pick Custom… in the RS dropdown and two boxes appear for your own lower and upper bound, so "RS under 90" or "60–90" is one filter on every screen that has the control; leave either box empty to keep that side open. The share card, the share text and the export filename describe the band you set, never a floor you did not.
The home page and the momentum screening guide are now available in Traditional Chinese, with a language link in the header and the footer of each. The screens, the tags and the column headers stay in English, because that is what the dashboard shows once you are inside.
A MACD button now sits beside Log in the chart toolbar. It opens a pane under the price carrying the 12 / 26 / 9 histogram, the MACD line and its signal — on daily or weekly candles, whichever the chart is showing — with all three values in the crosshair tooltip and in a saved PNG. Like every other chart setting it is remembered, so the chart opens the way you left it.
Readers of the free daily top five can now choose what arrives: the daily email, a short product update every other Sunday afternoon (US Eastern) — what shipped, one chart from the week, the momentum screening guide — or both. Email preferences in any footer keeps them separately; one click stops everything.
Three days before a free trial ends, an email says the date and the amount of the first charge, and how to cancel before then. A new account gets one welcome message with a link to today's list, and someone who cancelled hears once, two weeks later, what shipped since — with one link back. The daily email is still the only recurring one.
Gmail, Yahoo and Apple Mail now show their own Unsubscribe button beside the daily email's sender name, and pressing it stops the email without opening a page — the same as the link in the footer.
A subscriber who leaves their address in the free top-five form is told they already get the full digest, instead of being sent a smaller copy of what they have.
Leave your address on the home page or at the end of the momentum screening guide, and the five strongest names on each screen arrive in your inbox each trading day after the US close.
It's free and needs no account: confirm once from the email we send, and unsubscribe anytime. On a free account, the link is in the banner above your list.
How to screen for momentum stocks is a new guide: the five measurements a momentum screen is built from, the thresholds this one uses (RS above 93, ADR above 2.50%, 50-day dollar volume above $20M), what the setup tags mean, and an end-of-day routine. Each step is pictured with the product.
The home page now shows today's top setups the moment it loads, and the FAQ answers what a momentum screener is and whether there is a free one.
The Value tab was a row of bare tickers; now it's a sortable table like Passing and Near misses: price, distance below the 50-day, RS 3M, 3M return, ADR and dollar volume, sorted by distance.
Beside a docked chart it's the same sidebar the other tabs use: ↑/↓ walk it and the bookmark works on every row. On a phone it's the same tile strip. AI assistants asking via MCP get full rows, each with 3-month return next to SPY's.
Two new buttons in the chart's drawing palette. Magnet snaps every anchor to the nearest open, high, low or close on the bar under your cursor, so a level lands on the candle instead of near it — hold the command key (Ctrl on Windows) to flip it for one point.
Shift+drag the plot to measure: the label reads price change and percent, bars and calendar days crossed, and the volume inside. The next click clears it.
Open the ⋯ menu and pick Connect AI assistant…. The dialog holds the address to paste into Claude, or into anything else that speaks MCP.
Three of the five tools are open to every signed-in account: today's top setups, the list of screens, and sector strength. A subscription adds full result sets and price history. If you signed up with Google, you can now approve the connection with Google too.
The Export menu is now a Filtered / All switch above three groups — Share, TradingView watchlist, CSV — with every row carrying an icon and the number of names it will write. The switch appears only when your filters actually cut the list.
On a phone it opens as a sheet with full-width rows. Rows that duplicated each other, or that no screen could fill, are gone.
Chart view's ranked column has a heading now — ticker on the left, the screen's lead number on the right — and it stays put as you scroll. An emptied list keeps that heading and says what emptied it: nothing bookmarked yet, nothing bookmarked on this screen, or no matching rows.
The ★ is a bookmark: outline when off, filled when on. A star reads as a rating, and nothing here asks you to rate anything.
A free account used to land on a separate locked page: blurred rows, no chart, nothing to sort. It now gets the actual dashboard, with five names on every screen — charts, sorting, filters, the watchlist and the sector tape all working on those five.
The banner says how many names passed today, so you know what the rest of the list holds. Subscribing widens the same page rather than moving you to a different one.
The daily email was a list of tables. It now leads with the three names that cleared the most screens, each drawn as three months of daily candles with the 10/20/50 EMA band and volume — the band the setup tags are read from.
Leading by how many screens a name cleared, rather than by relative strength, keeps illiquid microcaps out of the top. Every number a chart shows is written beside it in text, since mail clients block images.
The header read “as of today 23:33” — a clock from another time zone, on a page where every other number is a US session. It names the session now: “as of today's close”, with the exact run time in market hours on hover. The share image, share text and CSV carry the same stamp.
Also: filter dropdowns are scaled to the list they filter, so no option selects everything — and the table header stays put as you scroll.
On a phone the chart could be looked at and not touched, in a third of the screen. It pans and zooms under your fingers now, the plot has roughly twice the area, and the list of names is a strip above it rather than a column below.
The ⋯ menu, Export and the sector filter open on a phone again too. They had been opening inside a sideways-scrolling strip, which painted them away to nothing.
Three drawing tools. A ray marks a level from the bar it was set on, so the chart still says when it became one. A note pins a few words to a single candle and travels with it through pans, zooms and the weekly view. Anchored VWAP runs a volume-weighted average forward from a bar you pick — an earnings gap, a pivot low, the day a base began.
They are remembered per ticker and appear in the shared image.
The chart header read MRVL and nothing else. It reads “MRVL · Marvell Technology, Inc.” now, with the last price and the span of history on screen.
Every result row carries its company name too, and the symbol search matches on it — typing MARRIOTT offers MAR and VAC. A name listed in the last day shows a bare ticker until the next refresh picks it up.
