A dense, EOD-only swing screener built for the way I actually trade

I have a simple rule that has held up over my years of identifying swing trade opportunities: only consider a signal after the candle has closed. This means no playing the markets based on mid-day signals, no trading to capture half a bar, etc. For me to even consider adding a set-up to my list, the candle must fully trade above the average of the last nine periods.

Most screeners still pay this little regard. They provide signals based on partial bars, mid-day amendments, or “above the EMA” checks that totally ignore the wick. I got sick of fighting the tools, so I built the one I wanted.

Full Candle (https://fullcandle.com) is an EOD-only swing screener written in an outwardly private manner, that simply screens for full candles against the 9-period moving average or moving average convergence divergence (MACD).

What it does

  • Analyzes the liquid U.S. equities market for TRADING opportunities where the daily candles (highs and lows) are either outright above or below the 9 period EMA or MACD, as the case may be. The screener then scores these based on the aforementioned (Trend, Freshness, Extension, and Volume) as well as the Macd and RSI to further qualify the setup.

  • Displays a trend persistence indicator.

  • Surfaces sector rotation via SIC mapping and simple sector rotation boards.

  • Leverages an options research layer for long call and put market lean options with chain statistics and the ability to mark contracts for later MTM tracking.

  • Includes a private favorites journal. Record star names, cache names even outside quality filters, track option entries for later P&L review.

Everything works exclusively on closed cash session data. There are no incomplete bars. There is no after-hours data.

Why this exists

I wanted to create something that captures the process I already use exactly. This is what each step looks like:

  1. Cash session closure
  2. Full candles clearing the 9
  3. Rate the quality of the setup
  4. Evaluate context of sectors
  5. Determine options market position and its relationship to the setup
  6. Write all ideas down so I do not have to go through the charts later and try to locate my ideas

It’s difficult to do this steps across multiple tools. Full Candle cuts the steps into one fast, dense view.

Current status

The tool is built and accessible at fullcandle.com, but for now, it is private. Do not expect to find a sign up. I do expect to offer a subscription in the future.

As of now, this tool is for research and not a signal service. There's a significant risk you should not treat this as investment advice since market data can be incomplete and delayed.

If you are fed up with screeners that don't use full daily candles as their building blocks and only deal with closing candles, this is the tool I made for myself. I will share updates as it is accessible.
