Back on April 19th (I think) you asked the question about how to find lower priced stocks that have TW patterns. On cable channel 43 (in my area, I think its CNBC) I watch the early morning business news while rowing on a machine. I watch the ticker symbols scroll across the screen. Several channels do this, but most won't show lower priced stocks-ever. The one I watch has them all. There are two sets of ticker symbols. The upper is NYSE the lower is NASDAQ.
As they scroll by I watch for prices in the lower ranges usually selecting issues with one, two, or sometimes three letters. The fewer the letters, the older and more well established the company (usually)ie. F=Ford. When I have 40-50 ticker symbols I look them up on bigcharts.com using the "decade" chart timeframe. Also Ameritrade offers StockQuest which is a nice little sort program that you can plug in several qualifiers like price, volume, number of employees, etc. and then check the sybols it gives you again at bigcharts.com. The program is not user friendly so be prepared to invest some time and patience.
