Qullamaggie Momentum
Named after Kristjan Qullamaggie. Looks for liquid US stocks consolidating after a strong rally — strong relative-strength rank, tight price action near short-term EMAs, and recognisable setup patterns.
Why traders consider QM Screener instead of Finviz
- Six pre-built momentum methodologies — no scan filters to configure.
- Daily refresh across the full US equity universe.
- Every passing ticker shows the actual filter values, so results are auditable.

What QM Screener does
QM Screener runs six well-known momentum strategies against the full US equity market every trading day, then surfaces the names that pass each strategy's filters in one dashboard.
It's built for traders who want a daily watchlist generator without rebuilding scans by hand. Every passing ticker is shown alongside the actual values that satisfied the filter, so results are auditable rather than opaque.
Minervini Trend Template
Mark Minervini's 8-point trend template — price above the 150 and 200 SMA, both averages trending up, the stock within reach of its 52-week high, and a top-tier RS rank.
Volatility Contraction Pattern
The VCP setup popularised by Minervini: a series of progressively tighter pullbacks on declining volume, often a precursor to a breakout.
Gappers
Stocks gapping up at the open on above-average volume while already in an established uptrend — a classic momentum-trader entry signal.

Finviz alternative — FAQ
Is QM Screener a Finviz alternative?
For traders who use Finviz to hunt momentum and trend setups but want the well-known methodologies (Qullamaggie, Minervini, VCP, episodic pivots) pre-implemented rather than configured manually, yes. QM Screener replaces the scan-building step with six prepared, refreshed-daily screens.
Does QM Screener have a free tier like Finviz?
No. QM Screener offers a 7-day free trial with all features, then $5 per month or $42 per year. Finviz has a free tier with delayed data and a paid Elite tier.
Can I build custom screens like in Finviz?
Not currently. QM Screener is opinionated — it runs six published methodologies as authored. Custom scan-building is a Finviz strength.
Does QM Screener include real-time data or alerts?
No. QM Screener runs once per US trading-day close and is built for end-of-day swing/momentum workflows. Finviz Elite covers real-time intraday.
