Question 1

What scanning platform does this guide work with?

Accepted Answer

The guide covers the core scanner logic — volume, relative strength, and structure filters — which can be configured in most scanning platforms including ThinkorSwim (TD Ameritrade/Schwab), TradeStation, Finviz, and TC2000. The setup screenshots are platform-specific, but the criteria translate to any tool with custom filter support.

Question 2

Do I need a VIP membership to use the scanner?

Accepted Answer

The setup guide itself is completely free — no membership required. You can configure the scanner yourself using any platform. If you want pre-market setups automatically posted to Discord every morning (so you don't have to run it yourself), that's included in YMI's VIP and Pro tiers.

Question 3

How many setups does the scanner typically find each day?

Accepted Answer

The number changes with market conditions. Strong trend environments can produce more candidates; choppy or low-volume periods may produce fewer or none. Treat the scanner as watchlist context, not a daily trade quota.

Question 4

Can I use this scanner for swing trading or is it day trading only?

Accepted Answer

Both. The scanner criteria identify stocks setting up for directional moves — some resolve intraday (day trade), others develop over 2–5 days (swing). The guide includes timeframe-specific filtering tips so you can tune it toward your preferred holding period.

Question 5

Does this work alongside futures trading, or is it separate?

Accepted Answer

It's a complement. YMI's core focus is futures education, KPL workflow, market context, and Pro automation. The stock scanner is an add-on for VIP/Pro members who also trade individual equities.
