Find the scanner style that fits you

Not every scanner is trying to do the same job. Some are built to find momentum. Some are better for pullbacks and breakouts. Some focus on stretched names that may revert. And some help frame the day before any setup deserves attention.

Momentum / Expansion

Momentum scanners are built to find stocks showing strong participation, expanding range, and continuation pressure. Traders who like strength, leaders, and names with active volume usually start here.

Flagship tools that fit here include Biggest Movers, High Relative Volume, and parts of News / Catalyst when event-driven names begin to separate from the pack.

Pullback / Breakout

Pullback and breakout scanners are built for traders who do not want the first spike, but the next cleaner setup after it. That can mean controlled continuation pullbacks, opening-range pressure, or organized trend structure later in the session.

Flagship tools that fit here include Impulse Pullback, Opening Range Breakout, and Trend Following Range Channel.

Mean Reversion

Mean reversion scanners are built for traders looking for names that have stretched too far from balance and may rotate back instead of continuing cleanly. This style is different from momentum trading and usually requires more patience and more context.

Flagship’s Mean Reversion scanner is built for that kind of setup.

Market Conditions / Session Context

Some tools are not just about finding a stock. They help frame the session first. A bullish, mixed, or defensive day changes how scanner output should be interpreted.

Flagship’s Market Conditions layer helps traders understand whether the day favors continuation, selectivity, or a more cautious posture before leaning on any setup.

How to think about it

Discovery scanners vs strategy scanners

Some Flagship tools are built to find what is active and worth attention. Others are built around researched, historically tested setup logic. That distinction matters, because not every scanner is solving the same problem.

Flagship Scans combines filtered discovery scanners that clean up broad market noise with strategy scanners built around researched, historically tested setup logic.
