I'll see what removing the $80 cap does to me... I don't have the kind of leverage you do! :-) I assume people want CSV of just the stock names, and not a CSV version of the table, right? @Ugly, sure, no problem.

I may start using your % list instead of the top alpha list for trading. One other thing - I would prefer to see no $80 limit on the top. And as for format, CSV or anything that I can easily copy and paste would be ideal. Thanks! Richard – thanks, man. I may start using your % list instead of the top alpha list for trading.

And sorting by percentage is great. Could you include closing price on the day of the trade? Thanks. I like the CSV idea. And sorting by percentage is great.

After looking at them for the last two days, I think I'm partial to the % list over my original one right now. I overdid it, I think, trying to get pure cent movement. I'll start posting them sorted by percent, as well, so it's easy to just watch like the top 10 if that's all you want to do. I can also post them in several formats. Like, if people's platforms like comma separated lists, I can put that at the bottom of the post, or something... just tell me what you'd like. Ok, 100 it is.

And thanks Richard for the list by %. If you could post this it would be awesome. How about 100 instead of 50? Thanks! Thanks for the suggestions. And thanks Richard for the list by %.

It's about 10 bucks a month. I use it because it has hundreds of premade scans (e.g. crossing 200 day moving average) but more importantly allows me to "roll my own" - EMA(8) crossed over EMA(21) 3 days ago and close is greater than 200 day moving average and shape is a hammer and close is between 9.50 and 85 and average volume(5, 10, 20, 30) is n n1 n2 n3 (all in the same filter) etc etc etc. Trust me - it permits every possible combination of technical indicator you would care to try. If you read about it somewhere you can do it there. Also permits backtesting of the filters which is neat but better yet once you get your backtested results you can go in and look at all of the stocks picked during the backtest period (you choose the period). I don't get anything from anyone using that site on my recommendation but I recommend it highly. I use stockfetcher.com. It’s about 10 bucks a month.

Next week's list may be a hybrid set, like, top 50 by %, but which must move by at least 40 cents regardless of price, or something.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'm glad I wrote my own, though... I can try out all kinds of wacky criteria, now! :-) @Stockman, it does seem like one of the better free scans I’ve seen.
