Traders,

Here's a thread where I'll post charts for both intraday and swing traders that show some of the current market's best-volatility trading charts.

General scanning criteria:

Day trading stocks:
I like charts that are over $30/share, at least 1.5 million shares/day average volume and at least a 2 point range in the
prior day's high/low.

Swing trading stocks:
When I scan for stocks for swing trading, I like new 52-week highs/lows for stocks that are >$30/share, at least 1.0M shares/day average volume, and a 10-day high/low range of at least 10% of the stock's price or better (eg a $50 stock needs to have a 10-day range of 5 points or more to be considered).


Free chart sites I like:

To profit,
