Breakdown Stock Scans
This collection of scans is used to find stocks which have broken support based on some criteria. That could be price dropping below a moving average, dropping below the lower Bollinger band, or making a new low in price. Momentum-based short-sellers may want to use these signals as entry criteria. On the contrary, some bullish contrarians may want to use these signals as part of their own bullish entry criteria to catch bears off-guard in whipsaw situations
