End of day software with screener for stocks/etf's

Can anyone recommend a good software package for stocks/etf's that have built in screeners for end of day data? In particular I am looking for a screener for candle patterns.

By day I am trading futures full-time, but for retirement accounts and other money, I mainly look at stocks/etf's. It would make that job easier if I had a screener that can go out and find candle patterns for me and bring them back.

I just need EOD since these are mainly longer term plays. I'm not particular if the software is web based or installed on the computer, just the screener is important.

I currently use MultiCharts for my futures trading. Not sure if it's best to stick with that and find a data provider for EOD stock data or not.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Wordens (sic) and tradestation come immediately to mind.

Worden Brothers, Inc. for more.

I tried Worden awhile back and for whatever reasons, I just did not care for it. Maybe I'll take a look again.

Stockfetcher was recommended at elitetrader as well and at first glance, it's pretty nice for $8.95/mo. Almost seems too good to be true!

Not many long term stock traders outperform the market. Why not just invest in Spyders or Diamonds ETF? As you trade the futures of these markets full time anyway you should be able to find a good long term entry point.

Re: End of day software with screener for stocks/etf's

notouch - I do invest in a handful of ETF's, as well as stocks, as well as tax free bonds, as well as CD's, etc. etc.

The point of the software would be to look for ideal entry points when adding to an existing position. I understand what you are saying though, that just dollar cost averaging may be the best option and to be honest, I'm not sure what is best.

Brownsfan - I realize it's been a while since you created this thread - but having found it (while having some of the same questions myself) I was wondering what solution/software you ultimately settled with? if any?

Any help is much appreciated,
