No Country for Bad Trades: Screeners and Watchlists

No Country for Bad Trades: Screeners and Watchlists

Author: China Shop Productions April 17, 2026 Duration: 1:07:52

In this episode Cam and Joel break down how to actually build a trading watchlist, and more importantly, how to filter thousands of stocks down to the few that matter.

Cam walks through his full process:

  • How to evaluate market conditions first
  • The exact screeners he uses to find high-momentum stocks
  • How to identify strong sectors and institutional money flow
  • And how to organize watchlists into actionable trade opportunities

This is the missing step for most traders. It’s not just about knowing what a good setup looks like… it’s about knowing where and when to look for it.
