WHERE MARKETSMITH WINS
MarketSmith is the canonical CANSLIM screener — forty years of IBD methodology, proprietary RS/EPS/SMR/A/D ratings, pre-annotated charts with base counts and pivots, and a strong editorial layer (market-pulse calls, Investor's Corner essays).
WHERE TRADEREGIMEN WINS
TradeRegimen covers most of MarketSmith's screening surface (CANSLIM, VCP, Stage Analysis, PEG) for hundreds less per year — and adds pre-trade Constitution checks, regime-adjusted sizing guidance, automated broker sync, and live position coaching.
