Daily Watchlist, A Couple Of Names With Fresh Momo


On a daily basis, I go through 500-1000 charts, I run 4 different scans and then look at the top 200-500 stocks with the highest momentum. All this takes me about 30 minutes, I know exactly what I'm looking for.

I narrow down the universe of stocks to a handful of names sometimes a little more, then the market will narrow down the list further by getting me in or keeping me out of the names that make my list. If the stock does not go through the previous day's high, then I don't get involved (99% of the time). This is what works for me, I look at charts a little different, and I believe certain things that you may not believe or agree with.

"How you trade is shaped by your beliefs. You do not trade the markets. Instead, you trade your beliefs about the market." Van K. Tharp.

STEPS BEFORE THE MARKET OPENS;

  • SCAN.
  • PUT NAMES ON A WATCHLIST.
  • SET ALERTS ON YOUR SOFTWARE.
  • FIGURE OUT WHERE YOUR STOP LOSS WILL BE FOR EVERY NAME.
  • FIGURE OUT HOW MANY SHARES YOU ARE GOING TO BUY, RISK, ETC.
  • YOU CAN ENTER THE ORDERS MANUALLY AS THEY TRIGGER OR YOU CAN PLACE YOUR BUY STOP ORDERS PRE-MARKET MAYBE WITH A STARTING TIME LIKE 9:45.
  • THE ABOVE ARE THE ONLY THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL FOR THE MOST PART.
  • ONCE YOUR BUY STOP IS HIT, THE MARKET IS GOING TO DO WHAT It's GOING TO DO REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH YOU WATCH OR CHEER.
  • RINSE AND REPEAT.

Here's my watchlist; I only have an interest in getting involved IF AND ONLY IF they can get through yesterday's high plus .10cents.

Process, Daily Watchlist, And Playing Pullbacks

On a daily basis, I go through 500-1000 charts, I run 4 different scans and then look at the top 200-500 stocks with the highest momentum. All this takes me about 30 minutes, I know exactly what I'm looking for.

I narrow down the universe of stocks to a handful of names sometimes a little more, then the market will narrow down the list further by getting me in or keeping me out of the names that make my list. If the stock does not go through the previous day's high, then I don't get involved (99% of the time).

"How you trade is shaped by your beliefs. You do not trade the markets. Instead, you trade your beliefs about the market." Van K. Tharp.

STEPS ALL BEFORE THE MARKET OPENS.

  • SCAN.
  • PUT NAMES ON A WATCHLIST.
  • SET ALERTS ON YOUR SOFTWARE.
  • FIGURE OUT WHERE YOUR STOP LOSS WILL BE FOR EVERY NAME.
  • FIGURE OUT HOW MANY SHARES YOU ARE GOING TO BUY, RISK, ETC.
  • YOU CAN ENTER THE ORDERS MANUALLY AS THEY TRIGGER OR YOU CAN PLACE YOUR BUY STOP ORDERS PRE-MARKET MAYBE WITH A STARTING TIME LIKE 9:45.

  • RINSE AND REPEAT.

Here's my watchlist; I only have an interest in getting involved IF AND ONLY IF they can get through yesterday's high plus .10cents. Today, however, some of the names are not as clear-cut as they usually are, take $MARK for example; a stock with good momentum experiencing a natural pullback. The stock is down 4-days in a row, in a situation like this I would typically nibble on a few shares before the stock goes through the previous day high. Once it goes through the previous day high, then I would add. $TWTR is a similar situation to $MARK.

Fining Stocks Before They Breakout 1/5 Edition

1/5 WATCHLIST; Finding Stocks Before They Breakout.

Swings of interest if and only if they can get through yesterday's high.

1. Buy Stop .10cents above yesterday's high. 

2. Stop, generally at 3-day low or breakout day low. 

3. 1-10 day holds looking for 5-20% move.

4. The market will either get you in or keep you out. In if they go thru yesterday's high plus .10, out if they don't.

5. Once your orders are hit everything you can possibly control is out of your hands, cheering them on like horses won't make a difference. 

6. In the short-term what matters the most is momentum and mean reversion.

Finding Stocks Before They Breakout 1/3/18 Edition

Finding Stocks Before They Breakout.
1. Swings of interest. 2. 1-10day holds (typically) 3. Looking for 5-20% moves. 4. Interested if AND ONLY IF they can get thru yesterday's high. 5. Buy stop .10cents above yesterday's high. 6. Breakout day low or 3-day low is your stop.
7. The market will either get you in or keep you out. 8. Once the buy stop is triggered and you own the stock, most things are now out of your control. 9. This is all part of a passive ETF portfolio.
Swings of interest on the long side.


 On a daily basis, I go through 500-1000 charts, I run 4 different scans and then look at the top 200-500 stocks with the highest momentum. All this takes me about 30 minutes, I know exactly what I'm looking for.

If the stock does not go through the previous day's high, then I don't get involved (99% of the time). Yesterday I had 7-names on my list only two when through yesterday's high. This is what works for me, I look at charts a little different, and I believe certain things that you may not believe or agree with.
