Stock Filter supports only Stock Trend Lite or Stock Trend versions 5.0 and greater. Stock Filter will create a folder called "QueryResults" in the same directory that your stock data is located. All query results will be found in this folder.

Stock Filter is designed to search your database looking for chart "types" and creates batch files of securities meeting your criteria. It is particularly adept at identifying consolidation patterns, new highs / lows, moving average crosses and many more. In addition, you can easily include price, volume and liquidity constraints.

• Volume
• Liquidity
• Moving Average
• Price
• High/Low
• Candle
• Consolidation

Saving your criteria as a Query makes it easy to perform your searches on a regular basis. Stock Filter has been optimized to process up to nine Queries simultaneously.

To help you get started, we've included some predefined Queries, including New Highs, Consolidations, Bottom Fishing and Moving Average Crossover. See Pre-Defined Queries for an explanation of these strategies.

When you start the program, you will be presented with the following screen:

Predefined Queries and any queries you create are displayed in the "Defined Queries" window. These are saved so you don't have to create new queries every time you want to search the database. New queries are easily created, and any existing queries can be edited or deleted.

Stock Filter is not date sensitive and performs its operations on the last record in your database. References to days are trading days, rather than calendar days.

If a security meets ALL criteria, it will be included in a batch suitable for viewing with Stock Trend Lite or Stock Trend version 5.xx. Note that the security has to meet all criteria, therefore try to avoid conflicts such as picking new highs and new lows at the same time, as it would be very unusual for a security to make both a new high and new low on the same day.

Queries should be created for a specific search. If you want to search for moving average crosses and consolidations, you should create separate queries.
