MSN Money discontinued the StockScouter Rating System.  MSN described the rating system as... "Stock Scouter provides a score based on risk, return, and potential growth factors of each individual stock listed on the market."

Many investors were very disappointing to see this tool removed from MSN  Money.

Let Microsoft hear your opinion about getting this tool back online.

Option Scanning Engine Updated Release

Saturday, October 25, 2014 EST
We released an updated Option Scanning Engine to boost performance.

There were many members that ran the scanning engine wide open and not narrowing the search parameters using a shorter range for Moneyness and ROI.  This impacted the performance of the scanner.  

We enhanced the option scanning engine with this “wide open” setting in mind and boosted performance. We still allow the “wide open” setting and will continue to monitor the scanning performance. If it slows down we will put in restrictions on the range used for Moneyness and ROI.
