Scan, Analyze, Execute: A Step-by-Step Workflow to Find Top Trades
Let’s put this feature to work using The CANSLIM Scan. This scan identifies NYSE names that are currently meeting William O’Neil’s famous CANSLIM requirements.
Once the scan is complete, it’s easy to turn the results into a static watchlist. Just click the three dots in the upper-right corner, select ‘Clone into a new Watchlist,’ and save it. Now you’re ready to load it into the Strategy Variance Explorer for deeper analysis.
With our new CANSLIM watchlist saved, we can open the Strategy Variance Explorer, select the strategies, time frames, and depths we want to test, and then load in the names from our CANSLIM watchlist. For this test, we’ll use the ‘Any Bullish MA Cross’ strategy on the 1-hour timeframe.
In seconds, the Strategy Variance Explorer provides a comprehensive analysis. The best value for each metric is highlighted in bright green, making it easy to spot the top opportunities. All metrics are important and should be considered, but in this case, we’ll focus on the three names that offer the highest returns; CLS, GATO, and PLTR.
By narrowing down our list to just the three names with the highest returns, we can dive deeper into each one by testing different strategies, time frames, and look-back periods at once. This focused approach uncovers insights we might not have found with the full watchlist and ensures that we ultimately identify the best ticker to trade and the best conditions to trade it on.
With the most ideal ticker, strategy, and time frame combination identified, next, we need to put it into action. With TrendSpider’s Trading Bots. we can fully automate the execution of the strategy or simply receive timely entry and exit signals, ensuring that we’re always ready to capitalize when these conditions are met again.
