SCANNER SUPPORT
The TradingMarkets.com Stock Scanner allows you to scan the TradingMarkets.com stock database using your own criteria. The database consists of approximately 4,500 NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX stocks over $10.00 per share. The data is closing data as of the end of each trading day and is updated by 7:00 p.m. EST.

can select values for as few or as many of the criteria you desire. To

the value range at "All" or leave the entry fields blank. After you enter
the desired values, you can have the results displayed according to your
