The screens found 384 total buys and 238 total sells last week. Among those were 26 short term buy signals and 15 short term sell signals that were actually triggered on one of the days. On Thursday only (final trading day last week), there were 117 total buys and 57 sells. 11 buys and 4 sells were triggered Thursday. Non-subscribers click here for access.

However, I couldn’t find much in the way of low risk trend structures. The buys were mostly already extended or one of a series of whipsaw signals. The sells were mostly still in uptrends, and will be subjected to rebounds from rising trend support. Non-subscribers click here for access.

March was a good month. The average gain for picks closed out this month was 7.3% on an average holding period of 32 calendar days. The average gain on picks still open plus those closed out last week was 16.7% on an average holding period of 31 calendar days. Past performance does not suggest future results.

Publication is on a weekly interval, but with revised methodology I now review charts daily. There are now 3 layers of screens. The first is the raw output various buy and sell triggers. The second filters those for intermediate trend. The third is a filter of short-term signal triggers. The new method reduces the final output to a manageable number for final visual review and selection for the list. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I want the output to be simple to follow and to require only a few minutes to review and implement each week. I post a table with specific signal indications along with the charts of the new buy and sell short picks so that you can evaluate them and do with them as you might.

We came into last week with 11 open picks, including 4 shorts and 7 longs. One long and one short hit their stops during the week leaving 3 short and 6 longs at the end of the week. I am adding just one long and no shorts this week, to start the week with 7 longs and 3 shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I have adjusted stops for all existing picks. New picks will be added without stops. Risk management is assumed via multiple small positions that won’t break the bank if they go wrong. Non-subscribers click here for access.

March has been a good month so far. The average gain for picks closed out this month, and those still open as of March 23, was 16.3% on an average holding period of 34 calendar days.  Past performance does not suggest future results. Non-subscribers click here for access.

In lieu of my visual review of dozens, if not more than 100, charts generated by the raw data from the screens, I have developed an algorithm overlay that will now make the (almost) final selections. My judgement wasn’t that good anyway.  Non-subscribers click here for access. 

This method is mechanical and non-judgmental. However, I still review the reduced output for any charts that are generating signals from already extended trends. They probably have more to run, but when they turn, those turns could be fast and violent. This is a risk to be avoided given the weekly publication interval. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

That weekly interval keeps things simple for both of us, a goal to be desired but not often attained. In this case, the method is complicated, and takes place behind the scenes. The goal is that the output should be simple to follow. While I post a table with specific signal indications, I also post the charts of the new buy and sell short picks are posted so that you can evaluate them and do with them as you might.

There are now 3 layers of screens. The first is the raw output of buy and sell triggers in several time frames. The second filters those for intermediate trend. Previously, I reviewed that output visually. I now apply a third filter instead. It’s a filter of short-term signal triggers as of the day before publication. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

This week’s screens generated 24 charts on the buy side and 91 on the sell side on the first pass. On the second pass there were still 24 on the buy side 87 on the sell side. In the screen of final short-term triggers on Friday, there were 3 buys to 7 sells. I excluded charts that were extended in their trends. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

We came into the week with 11 open picks, including 3 shorts and 8 longs. 3 longs and 2 shorts hit their stops during the week leaving 1 short and 5 longs at Friday’s close. I am adding 3 short sales and 2 buys to the list assuming a half position at the opening price and half at the closing price. That means that the list will start the week with 7 longs and 4 shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.

List performance was surprisingly stable from the week before given that the previous week was already at a record level for this exercise. The average gain was 13.8% on an average holding period of 29 calendar days. That compares with an average gain of 13.1% on an average holding period of 21 calendar days in the previous week. This includes picks closed out over the course of the week and those still open. Non-subscribers click here for access.

This week’s swing trade screens generated 23 charts which met all buy side criteria for visual review, and 31 which met all sell criteria for the week ended Friday. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

I’ve developed an additional algo to take the place of visual review for weeding out chart patterns that are not attractive low risk entries here. The net result after that overlay left just 6 charts on the buy side and 13 on the sell side. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

These are very small numbers so I won’t draw any broad market conclusions from that. However, the fact that the numbers are small confirms what we already sensed. This advance is elderly, and is therefore prone to loss of balance and falls. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

We came into the week with 13 open picks, including 10 longs and 3 shorts. Two picks were stopped out and I have no new additions this week. We’ll thus go into the next week with 11 open picks, including 3 shorts and 8 longs. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

Performance was adversely affected this week by one stock that crashed after having been one of the best performers. This is part of the game, and a drawback of only doing this exercise once a week as opposed to daily. On the other hand, a weekly period has the advantage of avoiding overtrading. There’s no perfect time frame, but doing it weekly allows the trader time to live life rather than staying glued to a trading screen every day. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

The culprit in this case was xxx which surprised traders on a revenue “miss” and a weak forecast. It had been uptrending beautifully. Then there were technical warning signs earlier in the week, but unless I go to a daily schedule, which is not on my horizon, then we have to roll with it when sheet happens. That’s the reason why I like to have enough picks to spread risk, so that if one goes really bad, it’s not a killer. And this wasn’t, given that the list still had a record average gain. Voila! The more the merrier. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

By the way, a stop would not have helped since the price opened on a huge gap down, well below any reasonable stop level I may have guessed at. I’ve now indicated a stop just below major trend support. If the uptrend holds, I’ll let this ride, week to week. If not, bye-bye. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

I’ve also indicated stops on all but one of the other picks for the purpose of taking profits. Virtually all of these picks are ready to “age out.” Non-subscribers click here for access. 

I reviewed the charts produced by the screens after the application of the new test for suitable setups. I did not like the patterns on either the buy side or the sell side. Even after applying the new filter, there was still nothing that I would consider a low risk, high reward entry setup. Non-subscribers click here for access. 

On the sell side, most were in uptrends, and while they may have peaked, they will be bouncy on the way down as they hit trend support. Again, not ideal entries. I’ll look for sell signals on the rebounds to lower highs for better shorts. Non-subscribers click here for access.
