Hi David,
Could you give any advice which screeners to use for stage 1 base formation and stage 2 breakouts?

What screeners do you use to scan for potential stocks? Can you give any more details on that?
I can imagine you don't want to fully disclose your code, but any good tips to set up my own screeners would be much appreciated!

All the screens that I use daily are in this thread on pages 3, 4 and 5 for stockcharts advanced screener, with some modifications for additional variances. I run them all, as they all look for different characteristics and then merge the results to go through manually. But a key part of the scanning that most people don't do is that they are only scanning the current day. However, most of the best results come from scanning for the previous day and other days before. i.e. if you are scanning for a Close Above The 21 Day EMA, then by changing the day you can see those stocks that crossed in prior days, and then look manually for the ones that have pulled back into the MA constructively and held it.
