Predefined Scans

Want to know how the scans in the Predefined Scan Results page are created? The official Predefined Scan results are run with different “filter” clauses in addition to the criteria you see below; most notably, they all include a clause that limits the results to stocks with an average volume of at least 40,000 shares over the past 20 days.

As a StockCharts member, you can load predefined scans in our Advanced Scan Workbench and customize the scans to meet their specific scanning needs. This can be done by simply copying and pasting the scan syntax from this page into the Advanced Scan Workbench or by following our step-by-step instructions to load the scans directly from the Advanced Scan Workbench or the Predefined Scan Results page.
