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) at a third of the price — and adds what MarketSmith was never designed to do: pre-trade enforcement, regime-adjusted sizing, automated broker sync, and live position coaching.
This is the short version. The full essay covers methodology, who should choose each tool, and an honest summary.
