Getting Started
While developing this website, the author had conversations with multiple traders to understand their needs.

Each trader has their own preference of setups, interest to details, and different ways of analysis and filters they like to play around with during the stock selection process.
Seems like one common goal of making money but with different scanning objectives, right? That's correct! Here's a summary of the most preferred setups, analysis of markets, and challenges of the stock selection process that surfaced in discussions and are broadly categorized in appropriate buckets.
