It is vital for BetterTrades students to find the correct trading opportunities in order to find profitability. It is easier to make a better trade if you can identify the candidates that may prove to be the most viable. These trades can be better located if you have a tool with the capability off filtering through the market, combing through the various stocks and indices, and coming up with potentially profitable plays.

BetterTrades enables its users to do that through special scans. These better trades scans act as filters, looking for specific criteria in the market. The scans cut down the amount of time a trader is required to spend looking for a stock. Instead of spending hours looking through a seemingly endless stream of stock charts, the user is able take advantage of a speedy computer to quickly identify what might be playable. If a scan can help a user make just one better trade, the tool would be considered worthwhile.

Three BetterTrades coaches have special scans which can be purchased and used with a subscription to Extreme Charts. BetterTrades coaches Bob Eldridge, Markay Latimer and Doug Sutton all have proprietary scans that match their specific teaching styles and strategies.

No scanning program can guarantee a successful trade. BetterTrades coaches have set up these scans to exhibit the trading opportunities with the potential to make a move. After seeing the scans, a trader should look at a stock chart and check the indicators for confirmation of a potential better trade. From that point the trader can determine whether the trade fits their appetite in terms of potential and the risk involved.
