Video: Technical Analysis with SwingTradeBot

Over the weekend my good friend Duru posted a video (on his "Dr. Duru Diagnoses Markets" YouTube channel) of his stock screening process using SwingTradeBot.  I think it will be helpful to those new to the site and/or new to technical analysis.

New Scan: RSI Crossover

I recently added a new scan which find stocks with RSI (14) crossing above or below a specified level.  For example, stocks with RSI crossing below 70 or crossing above 50.

That scan is located in the "Relative Strength" scans category which can be reached via the Research menu -> End of Day Scans -> Scans By Type

State of the SwingTradeBot Mobile Apps

>Earlier today someone asked me: "you ever thinking of updating your android app?".  Here's the TL;DR answer:
 

No, the mobile apps have been abandoned. They'll work as is for as long as Google and Apple will keep them in their app stores and the device operating systems are compatible.

There's really no reason to use the apps, aside from push alerts.  And I'm planning on adding push alerts to the website now that Apple has finally allowed them on Progressive Web Apps

A little more context around my answer:

Several New Scan Filters

I just added several new scan filters, so you can now get even more specific with the type of stocks you're scanning for.  The new filters are:

  • Closing Price vs. Previous Day's High or Low
  • Volume vs. Previous Day (greater than or less than)
  • Closing Price vs. 10-Day Moving Average (above or below)
  • Closing Price vs. 20-Day Moving Average (above or below)
  • Closing Price vs. 50-Day Moving Average (above or below)
  • Closing Price vs. 200-Day Moving Average (above or below)
You'll find them by clicking the "Reveal More Scan Criteria" button on each scan's search form.  Here's a screenshot:

Brokerage Portfolio Syncing is Back!

Those of you who've been using SwingTradeBot for a few years may remember when I last announced portfolio syncing in 2018.  Unfortunately the service I was using went out of business in 2020 and so the portfolio syncing stopped working.  I was very disappointed when that service went away because the automatic syncing was a great way to stay up-to-date with SwingTradeBot's analysis on your current holdings.

Well I'm glad to announce that portfolio syncing is now back!  This time it's powered by SnapTrade / Passiv.  Unlike the previous service provider, this one actually has a business model -- they're charging actual money for their services. :-)  (And they're backed by Y Combinator) That means two things:

Scanning for Back-to-Back Signals

A few weeks ago I added a new type of scan which I've called "Back-to-Back". It enables you to find stocks which have made certain signals on up to 3 consecutive days. For example, you can scan for stocks which fell below their 50-day moving average on one day and climbed back above the 50 DMA on the next day.
