    See More Possibilities

    Thanks to a few recent improvements, one of our longtime favorite trading tools is better and easier to use than ever before. If you’re already a fan of StrategyScan, we think you’ll like the enhanced version even more. If you’ve never tried it, there’s never been a better time to check it out.

    New sliders make it easy to adjust variables like Time Horizon (number of months), Direction (bullish to bearish), and Trading Level (1 to 5) to get three strategies that match your investing objectives for a specific security – complete with maximum potential gain, risk profile and profit and loss characteristics. You can also switch to the new Explore View for a convenient, side-by-side matrix showing up to nine different trades using the same strategy.

    Are you considering all of the possibilities? Try the new StrategyScan today.
