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.

TrendSpider alternative — FAQ
Is QM Screener a TrendSpider alternative?
For traders whose main TrendSpider use case is end-of-day momentum scanning, yes. QM Screener ships six published methodologies (Qullamaggie, Minervini, VCP, EP, gappers, Webster) refreshed every trading-day close. If you rely on TrendSpider for automated chart annotation, multi-timeframe analysis, or backtesting, QM Screener does not replace those.
Does QM Screener include charting like TrendSpider?
No. QM Screener is screening-only. It offers one-click TradingView watchlist export so you can chart the results in your tool of choice.
Does QM Screener offer backtesting?
No. QM Screener publishes the passing tickers each day; it does not backtest entry/exit strategies.
How much does QM Screener cost compared to TrendSpider?
QM Screener is $5 per month or $42 per year after a 7-day free trial. TrendSpider's subscription tiers are materially higher.
