How to Find the Right Stocks to Trade: Screeners, Alerts & the Colour Method

With thousands of stocks available to trade, how do you know which ones are actually worth looking at? In this episode of The Trading College Podcast, Lee Sandford explains how traders can simplify the process of finding potential opportunities by combining a clear trading methodology with modern technology. Lee discusses why adding more indicators and information doesn't necessarily make you a better trader, and why understanding price, trend, momentum and risk should come first. He also explores how stock screeners and trading alerts can do much of the heavy lifting, scanning markets for specific conditions rather than requiring you to spend hours manually searching through charts. In this episode: How to find potential stock trading opportunities Why simplicity matters in trading Understanding trend and momentum Using screeners to filter thousands of stocks How alerts can reduce time spent watching charts Why technology should support rather than replace the trader How PTS and the Colour Method work together Risk management, patience and trading discipline The objective isn't to trade more. It's to become more selective about the opportunities you choose to trade.
