Many swing traders think of stock screener software only as a way to help them quickly find the best stock trade “setups” meeting specific technical criteria. Indeed, that’s what our stock and ETF screener is primarily designed for as well. With the simple push of a button, traders are instantly provided with a list of stocks and ETFs that are poised for Potential Breakout or Pullbacks. However, what you may not have realized is that our technical stock and ETF screener is also quite useful as a barometer of overall market health, which assists in having proper market timing.
Whenever a large number of tickers are returned after doing either a Potential Breakout or Pullback scan, it indicates we are dealing with a healthy market possessing a lot of stocks that are poised to break out to the upsdie. However, if our daily scans start returning us a substantially lower number of results for potential trade entry, it is a very reliable indicator that the market’s health is deteriorating. Therefore, even if you are not using stock screening software to find individual ETF and stock trade ideas, merely doing scans on a regular basis and noting the number of results returned from our preset scans is a good way to make sure you’re not aggressively long at the wrong time in the market, or too lightly exposed when the market is actually acting strongly.
In the 3-minute video below, we demonstrate how our preset stock screener can be used as an indicator of market timing. Press the “play” button to watch the video below (click the icon on bottom right of video player to view in full-screen mode for best quality):

I keep wondering why there has been a date shown on your blog articles
I'm confused...are you asking why there has NOT been a date shown on my blog articles? If that is what you meant, there is always a date shown. To the left of the title of each post, you will see a calendar icon that shows the date (rather than a traditional written date).
