| Topic | ChartMill | StocksToTrade |
|---|---|---|

| Screening | Technical and fundamental filters in one screener, ready-made screens based on CANSLIM, Minervini and Weinstein approaches, and results shown as tables, charts or custom column views. | A criteria-based custom screener, pre-built scans based on Timothy Sykes' strategies, gainer, loser and new high or low lists, and the Oracle algorithm scanner. |

After-close research or an active-session desktop?
ChartMill is a web research tool combining screen filters, ratings and company reports. StocksToTrade is installed software bringing real-time US scans, charts, news and SEC filing streams into an active-trading workspace.
Try the same research question in each tool
If the job is to prepare a next-session shortlist, test ChartMill's saved screen and report path. If the job is to react to a session event, test StocksToTrade's criteria scanner, chart and news handoff. Measure the number of decisions required between a match and a documented research note.
- Write the universe, observation window and thresholds before opening either product.
- Use the same securities and distinguish completed bars from live observations.
- Review matched and rejected examples and record why their definitions differ.
- Time the complete scan-to-chart-to-research-note process on the intended subscription tier.
Which requirement changes the decision?
Do not compare an end-of-day derived filter with a live price-event scan as if they were the same signal. Use a defined observation window and the same US securities for the trial; then assess installed-software requirements, selected checkout terms and any Level 2 add-on separately.
Compare the selected tier and billing term
Read the documented access and pricing rows with the source date. Separate monthly billing, an annual equivalent, introductory offers, renewal totals, market-data add-ons and optional services. The cheapest first invoice may not be the lowest cost over your intended research period.
- Identify the tier that supplies the required filters, timeframe and saved-work limits.
- Check the amount charged at signup and the amount and date of renewal.
- Test export, alert and chart limits using an ordinary research session.
- Read cancellation and trial terms on the current vendor checkout before subscribing.
Keep a decision record
Choose based on the task you can complete consistently. Record the rule, product tier, operating environment, observation date and remaining question. A feature table helps identify differences; it does not establish expected returns or a universal winner.
