Stock Screener by Trader
Deepvue’s Top Traders category holds 83 preset screens from 28 traders, from U.S. Investing Championship winners like Oliver Kell and Mark Minervini to the authors whose books defined growth trading, William O’Neil and Stan Weinstein. Each screen is built to the trader’s own published criteria, loads in one click, and can be copied and edited. The hub below explains who the traders are, what each screen looks for, and links to the deep dive on every screen. $49 a month.
Key Takeaways
Every one of the famous stock traders who has beaten the market for years has a scan they run before the open. Most of them have written it down, in a book, an interview or a championship submission. Almost nobody else runs it, because turning a paragraph of rules into a working screen is tedious and the tools rarely have the right fields.
Deepvue’s screener fixes that by shipping the scans as presets. Open the Top Traders category and the screens are there under each trader’s name, built to their rules, running on live data. The pages below take one screen at a time and explain the thinking behind it.
- ✓28 traders, 83 screens, all in the Top Traders folder of Screener Presets
- ✓Every screen follows the trader’s own published criteria, not an interpretation of it
- ✓The roster spans championship winners, book authors and the most followed traders on X
- ✓Presets are read only; copy one and every condition becomes yours to edit
- ✓A screen tells you what a trader looks for, and the chart beside it shows whether today’s result qualifies
- ✓All of it is on one $49 a month plan, alongside the pattern, indicator and strategy screens
Stock Screener by Trader: Pick Your Trader
Four of the most requested trader screens have a page of their own, each explaining the trader’s rules, what the preset tests, how to read the results and how the trader would take the trade.
Qullamaggie Episodic Pivot Screener
Kristjan Kullamägi’s catalyst gap scan: liquid stocks up more than 7.5% on the day, closing above the prior high, on over $100 million traded. The page covers his 10% gap rule, the neglect test, the opening range entry and the low of the day stop.
Minervini Code 33 Screener
Mark Minervini’s fundamental screen from Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard: three consecutive quarters of accelerating earnings, sales and profit margins, combined with trend and momentum conditions. The page explains acceleration versus growth and why the chart still picks the day.
Stan Weinstein Stage 2 Screener
Stocks and ADRs advancing in Stage 2 structural uptrends, the only stage Weinstein owns. The page walks through the four stages, the 10 and 40 week averages, the stage indicator’s colors, and the Stage 3 exit.
Oliver Kell Bull Snorts Screener
Kell’s volume rule: liquid stocks up more than 3% on at least three times normal volume, the footprint of institutional buying. The page places the snort in his cycle of price action and explains why he lists first and trades later off the 10 and 20 day EMAs.
Why Screen the Way Top Traders Do
A screen is a trader’s edge written as rules. Minervini’s trend template is his answer to which stocks are worth a look. Weinstein’s Stage 2 is his. Kell’s bull snort is a volume rule that took him years of tape reading to trust. When you run their screen you inherit the filter, and with it the discipline to ignore everything that fails it.
That is different from copying trades. A trader’s screen produces candidates, and the same list looks different to a swing trader and a position trader. The value of running the real thing is that the candidates are right. What you do with them is still yours.
Where the Screens Come From
Each preset is sourced from what the trader has put on the record: a book, a championship writeup, a masterclass, a screen shared directly with Deepvue. Several of the traders on the list have worked with Deepvue on their presets, which is why screens like Oliver Kell’s five and Qullamaggie’s eight exist here in their own words rather than as approximations.
Every Trader in the Preset Library
Beyond the four featured above, the Top Traders category holds screens from 24 more. They are grouped by what they are known for, with the number of screens in each folder.
U.S. Investing Championship Winners and Contenders
The U.S. Investing Championship is a real money, audited contest, and several of its winners share their scans.
- •Oliver Kell (5 screens). 941% in 2020. His screens are the daily scans behind the cycle of price action: 52 Week Highs, Bull Snorts, Doublers, Gappers, and Strength on Down Day.
- •Mark Minervini (6 screens). Winner in 1997 and 2021, author of the Stock Market Wizard trading books. His folder holds the trend template variants, power plays and Code 33, the three quarter acceleration screen.
- •Leif Soreide (3 screens). 2019 champion with a 133% return, known for momentum entries in the strongest names.
- •Matt Caruso (4 screens). 2020 runner up at 346%, trading leaders through earnings with fundamentals first.
- •Ross Haber (2 screens). Championship competitor and former O’Neil portfolio manager, trading base breakouts in institutional quality growth stocks.

The Authors Who Wrote the Rules
- •William O’Neil (1 screen). Founder of Investor’s Business Daily. The screen applies his earnings and sales criteria for market leaders.
- •Stan Weinstein (6 screens). Author of the 1988 stage analysis classic and creator of the four stage framework. His folder screens each stage and the transitions between them.
- •Jesse Livermore (1 screen). The 1920s speculator whose pivotal point rules are the ancestor of every breakout screen. The preset is a modern reading of them.
- •Larry Williams (1 screen). Futures champion and author, whose screen is built on his short term price pattern work.
- •Dan Zanger (1 screen). Holder of the audited record for a one year portfolio gain, screening for the chart patterns he trades on high volume breakouts.
- •David Ryan (1 screen). Three time championship winner in the 1980s under O’Neil, screening for the fundamentals and bases he traded then.
- •Jim Roppel (1 screen). Longtime growth manager whose screen targets the concentrated leaders he holds through big moves.
The Most Followed Swing Traders on X
- •Qullamaggie (8 screens). Kristjan Kullamägi, whose breakout, episodic pivot and parabolic short setups are the most replicated in swing trading. The largest folder on the list.
- •Pradeep Bonde (6 screens). Stockbee, originator of the episodic pivot and the momentum burst. His screens find the 4% breakout days and the top movers his members trade.
- •Mike Webster (5 screens). Former O’Neil portfolio manager, with screens for swing trading lists and cycle resistant names.
- •Richard Moglen (3 screens). Interviewer of most of the traders in the Top Traders folder and a trader in the O’Neil tradition, screening for leadership and relative strength.
- •Ben Bennett (4 screens). Known for relative strength work, including the Down Day RS screen that finds stocks holding up while the market sells off.
- •Chris Perruna (4 screens). Growth screener whose criteria blend institutional sponsorship with price strength.
- •Eric Krull (3 screens), Ted Zhang (2), Patrick Walker (2), Anthony Shi (1), Jeff Sun (1), JT of Tickermonkey (1), Dr. Wish (1). Momentum and breakout traders who have each shared a scan from their own daily routine.
Deepvue’s Founder
- •Ameet Rai (5 screens). Deepvue’s co founder and an active trader, whose screens reflect the workflow the platform was built around.
How to Run a Top Trader Screen
Every trader page under this hub walks through its own screen in detail. The mechanics are the same for all 83.
Open the screener and click the current screen’s name to open the presets menu.
Move to the Screener Presets tab and open Top Traders.
Choose a trader’s folder, then the screen. Hover the info icon to read what it looks for before loading it.
Read the results with the trader’s own criteria in mind: relative volume for Kell, the quarterly stats for Minervini, the stage column for Weinstein.
Click any row to open the chart beside the list and confirm the setup.
Right click the row to list the name or place an alert where the trader would put the stop.
Copy It and Make It Yours
The shipped screens can’t be edited, which protects the trader’s definition. Duplicate one and every condition opens up: raise a threshold, add a closing range or relative strength filter, restrict it to a sector. Two traders’ screens can also be combined, which is how a Weinstein Stage 2 filter ends up wrapped around a Kell volume scan.
Which Trader’s Screens Fit Your Style
| If you trade like this | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Hold for weeks to months, weekly chart backdrop | Stan Weinstein, Jim Roppel | Stage analysis and concentrated leadership screens are built for the long move |
| Swing trade breakouts over days to weeks, like the best swing traders | Qullamaggie, Oliver Kell, Pradeep Bonde | Breakouts, episodic pivots and momentum bursts are their daily bread |
| Fundamentals first, then the chart | Mark Minervini, Matt Caruso, William O’Neil | Earnings, sales and margin criteria qualify the list before price does |
| Relative strength and market leadership | Ben Bennett, Richard Moglen, Chris Perruna | Screens that find what holds up when the market sells off |
| IPOs and young growth companies | Kathy Donnelly, Eve Boboch | Lifecycle screens track new issues through their first bases |
| Classic pattern and pivot trading | Dan Zanger, Jesse Livermore, David Ryan | High volume breakouts from recognizable bases |
Beyond the Trader Screens
The Top Traders category is one of nine in Screener Presets, and the other hubs organize the rest by what the screen keys off rather than who wrote it.
- •Stock screener by pattern for chart formations: VCP, buyable gap up, pocket pivot, green line breakout.
- •Stock screener by indicator for screens triggered by a signal.
- •Stock screener by market timing for premarket and session based scans.
- •Screener by strategy for screens built around a trading approach.
Many trader screens are also one of these. Kell’s Gappers is a market timing scan, Minervini’s trend template is a strategy, and the screener presets guide covers how the categories fit together.
Who This Hub Is For
- •Traders who follow one of the 28 and want their scan running without rebuilding it
- •Readers of the growth trading canon, O’Neil to Minervini, who want the books’ rules as working screens
- •Anyone choosing a method and wanting to see what each trader’s list looks like on the same day
- •Traders who combine screens and want the components already built
Pricing
$49 a month on a single plan, nothing gated.

Screen Like the Best, Then Trade Like Yourself
The 28 traders disagree about holding periods, position sizes and how much the fundamentals matter. They agree that the day starts with a scan and that the scan has rules. A stock screener by trader puts those rules one click away, and the pages under this hub explain each one so the results make sense before you act on them.

↑ Back to contentsFrequently Asked Questions
What is a stock screener by trader?
A stock screener by trader is a collection of preset screens organized by the trader whose rules they follow, rather than by pattern or indicator. Deepvue’s Top Traders category holds 83 such screens from 28 traders, each built to the trader’s published criteria.
Which traders have screens in Deepvue?
Traders with screens in Deepvue include Mark Minervini, Qullamaggie, Stan Weinstein, Oliver Kell, William O’Neil, Pradeep Bonde, Dan Zanger, Jesse Livermore, Larry Williams, Leif Soreide, Matt Caruso, Mike Webster, Kathy Donnelly, David Ryan, Jim Roppel, Richard Moglen, Ross Haber and eleven more, 28 in total.
Who are the best stock traders to learn screening from?
The best stock traders to learn screening from are the ones who have published their rules and proven them: U.S. Investing Championship winners like Oliver Kell, Mark Minervini and Leif Soreide, and authors like William O’Neil and Stan Weinstein. Deepvue ships each of their screens as a preset.
Are the trader screens the actual criteria they use?
Yes, the trader screens follow the actual criteria each trader has published or shared, and several traders worked with Deepvue directly on their presets. Where a trader’s rule needs judgment, such as reading a base, the preset narrows the field and the chart does the rest.
Can I edit a top trader’s screen?
Yes, you can edit a top trader’s screen by duplicating the preset, which unlocks every condition. The original stays as shipped. Copies can be tightened, extended with new filters, or combined with another trader’s screen.
What is the U.S. Investing Championship?
The U.S. Investing Championship is an audited real money trading contest. Winners with screens in Deepvue include Oliver Kell (941% in 2020), Mark Minervini (1997 and 2021), Leif Soreide (2019) and David Ryan (three wins in the 1980s), along with 2020 runner up Matt Caruso.
Which trader screen is best for swing trading?
For swing trading, the trader screens most used are Qullamaggie’s breakout and episodic pivot scans, Oliver Kell’s Bull Snorts and Gappers, and Pradeep Bonde’s momentum burst screens, all of which find setups that resolve over days to weeks. Each loads from Deepvue’s Top Traders presets.
Which trader screen is best for position trading?
For position trading, Stan Weinstein’s Stage 2 Stocks screen and Mark Minervini’s trend template and Code 33 screens are the usual starting points, since both traders hold through multi month moves. Deepvue ships all of them under Top Traders.
How many screens are in the Top Traders category?
There are 83 screens in the Top Traders category, spread across 28 traders. Qullamaggie has the largest folder with eight, followed by Minervini, Weinstein and Pradeep Bonde with six each. The category is part of 169 presets in total.
Do I need to read the traders’ books to use their screens?
No, you do not need to read the traders’ books to use their screens, because each preset carries a description and each page under this hub explains the rules and the reasoning. Reading the books helps with what to do after the screen returns a name, which is where the traders’ methods differ most.
