This Friday’s screens had 56 buys and 7 sells. That compares with the previous Friday’s 16 buy signals and 28 sell signals. This breaks a string of four straight weeks with a majority of sell signals in Friday screens.
1376 stocks met the initial screening criteria. 4.6% of them rendered signals on Friday. The rest were already moving in the direction of the most recent signal. Likewise, rangebound markets tend to generate a lot of whipsaw signals that are just noise. It’s important to look for and try to avoid that when choosing potential swing trades.
With that in mind, I chose 4 charts to add to the list. They are xxx, xxx, xxx, and xxx (subscriber version only). I’ll track those as of Monday’s opening prices.
Last week reversed a string of 4 straight losing weeks, with an average gain of 2% on an average holding period of 18 calendar days.
Rangebound markets generate lots of whipsaw signals, which are rough on a system designed to ferret out 3-4 week swings. I’ve called them meat grinder markets. I put out a lot of hamburger in September. I’m working on avoiding that while keeping toes in the water to catch the next wave.
