Is there some easy free way online one can go search for stocks for which the price has been falling on average for several weeks or so?
Google finance, Yahoo finance, CNBC, a host of other sites.
Any particular reason?
How do I do what I described using that site?
This is for a play money stock investing game.
It looks like this is the page I want, but when I make changes to the criteria, nothing changes in the list. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
If you want to do what is call “paper trading” where no money is involved, but you are using real market data, then I would suggest one of the sites that is geared to that sort of thing. Marketwatch seems to be popular but I’ve never tried it. Go to the link and click on ‘created a game.’ From there you should be able to set up a private party for you and your friends to do your trading.
If you want to investigate other, search on ‘paper trading sites’ or something similar. CNBC I think lets you do something like that.
Also most brokerage firms let you set up paper accts like this one at Think or Swim (now owned by TD Ameritrade, but still the premier options trading platform).
Yes, I’m on the website weseed.com already.
I can check to see if the other sites have the kind of search option I was asking for, but google finance appears sufficient–if I can figure out how to use it. Like I said, changing the search criteria doesn’t seem to actually change the search results so there’s some big button somewhere I’m just not seeing…
You’re probably just maxing out the possible hits.
I changed the lower end for 52wk price change from -99 to -50 and it went from 2040 or 2045 to 2030 I think.
Seems to work fine.
