Stops   

Our Stops video should be interesting and informative about volatility-adjusted stops, even for those who have no interest in the Stops tool.  Click on this Stops video link to see the brief video.  To leave the video without leaving the internet, click only once on the "x box" in the top right corner to close the video, then click on the back arrow of your browser.  The "Stops" heading above will take you to a brief summary description without any videos.  We recommend that you start with the video.  The "Stops" tab on the navigation menu on the left side of any page will take you to a more detailed discussion.  

This Excel-based spreadsheet tool automatically computes volatility-adjusted stop-losses and is easy to use.  Stops includes a chart that shows the price pattern of the stock and a red line tracing the position of the stop-loss.  Stops includes a "Lab" where you can experiment with different settings to determine which settings match your risk tolerance.  These experiments can help you determine how "abnormal" a stock's negative behavior must be (relative it its own "normal" behavior) before you will want to sell.  The "Lab" chart includes a red line that traces the position of the stop-loss.  This line changes as you change various settings for the stop loss computations.  You simply adjust the settings until you find the volatility compensation settings that are just right for you.  Enter those settings for a position and Stops will automatically compute and display volatility-adjusted stop losses for you as you enter date and price information.  Place the stop order with your broker and your stock will be sold automatically if it hits that price.  For those who prefer to use mental stops or stops based on closing prices, a "Stop!" sign also appears to alert you to the fact that the computed stop loss has been triggered (just in case you hadn't noticed).  Stops provides 19 ways to compute a stop loss.  It does the math for you.

Have a good reason to buy!  Here are some new and powerful ways to evaluate a stock.  All stocks gyrate or swing above and below their current "fair value."  Is the stock "low and rising," "overpriced and falling," "high and rising," or is it at one of the five other points in its cycle as it swings up and down between being low and high then back again?  Which stocks are the most undervalued or overvalued and by how much?  Which are showing the most consistent strength (measurements go far beyond RSI), or generate the most analyst enthusiasm?  Which have the lowest PE or PEG ratio?  Which undervalued stocks are rising faster than most rising stocks?   The Valuator tracks about 500 stocks on a regular basis with answers to these and many other questions.  It reports on both fundamental and technical measurements.  Rather than use analyst "pie-in-the-sky" earnings guesses for the next 12 months or old and irrelevant data from last year, the 1-year earnings data used by The Valuator to compute PE and PEG numbers is derived by combining earnings figures from approximately the last 6 months with analyst estimates for approximately the next 6 months.  That's because analyst 6-month estimates are far more accurate, and because the market also tends to "look ahead" about 6 months.  The data is spreadsheet sortable.  The words "The Valuator" above are a link that will take you to where there is a very brief summary description without any videos.  We recommend that you start with the videos.     

StockAlerts  

Click on this Alerts Video for an illustration of some stock alerts or "setups".  There are actually two videos available here.  To leave the videos without leaving the internet, click only once on the "x box" in the top right corner to close the video, then click on the back arrow of your browser.  The videos should be informative and worth seeing whether or not you are interested in a StockAlerts subscription.  The StockAlerts subscription/service was created to help high-performance investors and traders build "watch lists" consisting of stocks ready or nearly ready for a price surge in either direction. Our scanner tracks thousands of stocks and reports on six different alert systems.  For each alert system, we generate a list of stocks that have triggered an "up" signal and another list of stocks that have triggered a "down" signal.  Thus the subscriber is notified when attractive "setups" are in place.  These setups typically occur at the beginning of a new trend or price surge.  The stocks can then be put on a watch list and monitored to see if any behave in a way that confirms that the expected move has begun or that the setup has "failed."  The system is intended to help you quickly find replacements for the stocks you sell and enable you to avoid non-performing "empty slots" in your portfolio.  Non-performing empty slots can dramatically reduce the performance of a portfolio even if the stocks that are purchased perform magnificently.
