Each trade must be supported by a FINVIZ screenshot sent via Canvas.
- Once you complete the 9 required trades with supporting FINVIZ documentation, you can trade as many stocks as you like without documentation.
- The maximum number of stocks that you can select and purchase from a FINVIZ query will be three stocks. Of your 9 trades, you will need a minimum of three screenshots. The screen shots should be sent (all at one time) via Canvas by the due date.
