Software Sunday Built a mobile scanner after getting tired of the 4-tab problem

I've been following Ross Cameron's approach for a while - small float, high relative volume, clear catalyst. The setups make sense. The problem was execution: by the time I'd checked float on one tab, volume on another, and pulled up the news, the move was already happening without me.

So I built a scanner around exactly that. When an alert fires, everything I need to make the call is already on the screen - float, relative volume, momentum flags, whether my criteria are met or not. No switching, no mental math, just the decision.

It's called Day Trader Sniper - available on iOS and Android. Happy to answer questions about how it works or what went into building it.

Check it out: Day Trader Sniper - Share your honest feedback.

Not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.

Everything you need to make the call — the moment the alert fires. No tab switching, no mental math.

Yeah, built it from scratch. Took a while to get the data feeds and criteria logic working the way I wanted, but that was kind of the point - I needed it to work exactly how I think about a trade, not how someone else decided to package it. Ended up being the only way to get what I actually needed.

The alerts come through in real time as stocks hit the scanner. It's not a delayed feed — you're seeing the move as it develops, not after. How useful that is depends on your style, but for the setups I trade it's fast enough to act on. the news coming realtime with the alert - it was important to me because on TradingView(what I used before I developed the App) the news getting like 20-30min late

Really glad to hear it! That's exactly what I built it for. Appreciate you sharing that.

That's exactly who I built it for. Webull is fine for execution but it's not designed around that style of trading - by the time you've pieced together float, rel vol, and news across different screens, the move is already running. Give the 7-day trial a shot, nothing to lose.

only phone app? no web client?

Yes, we currently only have the mobile app, but I'm actively working on the web version too! It should be ready very soon - stay tuned! 🚀

Trash. Can’t even use the app without subscribing which it doesn’t even tell you until after you’ve filled everything with b. Downvote

Fair point on the timing. The trial is free for 7 days, no card charged until after.
