STOCK TRADING SOFTWARE

STOCK TRADING SOFTWARE

Real-Time Stock Scanning and Stock Screening

With over 12,000 stocks to look at every day, you can use a state of the art stock trading software tool to quickly and effectively find stocks to trade. The technical scanning trading software, Oz Scanner, applies technical screening formulas to a large population of stocks. It then returns a list of stocks that meet a pre-determined filter criteria throughout the trading day. Once you receive the list of stocks generated by the scanner, you can then proceed to evaluate potential risk and potential reward prior to establishing a position in the stock.


Understanding the Stock Market

What is a stock market? The stock market is a marketplace where buyers and sellers meet. The items that are being bought and sold are stocks also known as shares which represents ownership in a company. Professional stock traders see the stock market as nothing more than letters and numbers changing rapidly. Four letters in the NASDAQ stock market represent the ticker symbol for that specific stock that is being traded which is followed by a number which represent the price the stock last trade took place at. The four letters being the ticker symbol remains the same.  It does not change unless the exchange removes the stock from being listed or the company may have merged with another company or applied to change its ticker symbol which happens rarely.  The number that follows the stock symbol is the price per one share (unit) of that stock. The price of course changes many times during the day because of the forces of supply and demand.  When there are more shares for sale then buyers then the price of a stock will go down, and when there are more buyers then shares available for sale the stock price will go up
