HOTLISTS & ADVANCED FILTERING

Pro Trading Systems gives you hotlists of stocks to watch and then lets you eliminate all but the VERY BEST trading stocks using our advanced HotList Filter. 

You can setup an advanced HotList Filter in seconds with absolutely NO PROGRAMMING SKILLS! 

In less than 10 seconds we setup a new hotlist filter which narrowed down a list of over 80 stocks into ONLY FIVE. 
  • Stocks over $30 per share (move more per day)
  • Stocks which trade over 300,000 shares per day avg.
  • Stocks Above their Previous Day High (Strong Trend)
  • Stocks which are trading at 2.5 Times Above Average Volume
    (Likely to continue their trend as it shows heavy buying most likely from mutual funds or other institutions)

Stop watching hundreds of stocks by letting the computer do most of the work, so you can instead concentrate on the few stocks that meet your trading criteria.


You can see when new stocks are added because we color code them yellow
as seen above. 
Catch potential trades as they happen!

your very own list of stocks!


Above & Below Previous Day's High and Low - Lets you only see stocks that have already cleared a major resistance and/or support level.  Stocks that trade through the previous days high on high volume are much more likely to keep going up than down.  Stocks that trade through the previous days low on high volume are more likely to keep going down than up.

Volume / Avg Volume - Lets you find stocks that are trading at 2, 3, and even 5+ times more relative volume for this time of the day than they normally do.  This number is updated in real time throughout the day and it does let you find the stocks that are more likely to keep moving in the same direction AND it often lets you find them early in the day before most other traders do.  It's one of our most powerful and useful features.

Up or Down X number of days in a row - This lets you find stocks that have gone up or down a certain number of days in a row.  If a stock has gone down 3-5 days in a row and it is above its previous daily high today, it has a good chance of continuing up.

Narrowest Day in last X days - Volatility breakout trading systems are very complex yet the principle is simple and now finding these stocks couldn't be easier.  Stocks fluctuate from periods of high volatility to periods of low volatility.  When a stock is in a low volatility situation, often large moves materialize.  Many books have been written about this concept including Street Smarts.  You may have heard of NR4 or NR7 trading systems which find stocks where the range yesterday was the lowest in the preceding 4 or 7 days.   If a stock breaks above the previous day's high after this "narrow day" it is very likely to continue up not just for that day but often for many more.  The same is true if the stock sells below the previous day's low, it is likely to continue down.  In backtesting this concept, your odds are higher if the stock opens inside of the previous days range and then TRADES through the high or low.

Inside Day - Our filter lets you find "Inside Days" which are when the previous day's high is lower than the day before and the low is higher than the day before.  This often signals indecision and trend changes and explosive moves often happen as the stock breaks out up or down.

* Pro Trading Systems offers our software and real time stock market data from DTN Absolutely FREE to any trader who trades more than 20,000 shares per month. 

Many other direct access trading firms charge $100 to $250 per month for inferior software platforms which DO NOT offer stock scanning or advanced filtering, and offer to rebate software/data feed costs only after you spend hundreds of dollars in commissions with them.  If you trade less than 20,000 shares per month our software is still free but you will need to pay for the DTN data feed yourself. (Only $50/mo)
