How do i screen for stocks that meet a certain technical criteria?

~Vengeance~ asked:


on the chart. For example i want to find all stocks where the bollinger bands have narrowed dramatically. Or let’s say all stocks where the MACD has crossed the signal line. Is that even possible or is it something too advanced?
I know how to screen for stocks according to fundamental value, like yahoo, scottrade, etc. But i’m talking about strictly technical indicators. Based off chart layouts.
