This site has: Free Tutorials, a stop loss tool, alerts, signals, stock scanners (over 6), The Valuator, systems, price surges, volume changes, reversals, breakouts, setups, strongest 50 ETFs, ETF signals and free price, momentum, and volume surge alerts. We also have RC Allen alerts, Stop loss information, Market Status report (Market Review), Stock Scanner, stocks with price & volume surges, an R.C. Allen based alert system, and a list of the currently strongest ETFs (ranked). [Sorry about all the colors but, ironically, the paragraph is easier reading this way]
.
All of these are on this site. Stops the stop loss calculator (adjusts for volatility), StockAlerts that finds stocks in a "setup" for a surge or that have just started their move (Gaps, Bollinger Band squeeze breakouts, etc.), and The Valuator (valuations, flag alerts, & follow-ups, 500 stocks) are also available on this Web site. We have a variety of videos. Each video has teaching elements that wil increase knowledge for most viewers. Current Stock Alerts Are on 4 Pages of This Web Site. Each page uses a different type of screen to generate the alerts.
.
Use tabs on the left or the links below to get information on market indicators, stocks just giving an alert, stocks that just had an unusual price increase, the various stock scanners, strong ETFs, to read up on stop-losses, or to study tutorials. There is a new "Strategy Tip" at the bottom of this page.

Strongest Stocks
We find and list the strongest 100 stocks, and the list is updated every week. More frequent updates would be overkill, even for active traders, because many of the stocks require a little time to decline to nearby support and then to react to that support (the link here will take you to the page where examples are shown). A list of 100 strong stocks should be more than enough to last a week. A strategy for building a portfolio based on these lists is illustrated. The strength rank algorithm used for this service is identical to the one used for The Valuator, and it is far superior to the relatively simplistic RSI used at many Web sites (The RSI is a quick and easy upload from data vendors. Most Web site operators do very little or no original research, and very few invest time and energy in the development of screening algorithms). The RSI can highly rank stocks even if they have a terrible pattern context. Our strength algorithm finds stocks with the strongest chart patterns.
ETF Signals
Our algorithms generate alerts for five moving averages (30-day, 50-day, 100-day, 150-day, 200-day). For example, a cross of the 3-day moving average of the closing price from below to above the 30-day moving average generates a "30-Up" alert. A cross of the 3-day moving average of the closing price from above to below the 30-day moving average generates a "30-Dn" alert. The 3-day average is used for crossovers to reduce false signals. The alerts are intended to draw attention to the fact that the crossover condition has been met. We also include the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) for those who would like to incorporate a short-term strength measurement in their system. For example, a crossover with a surge in price would register a higher RSI than a crossover without a surge in price. An ETF with high relative strength at the crossover is less likely to "whipsaw" or reverse course immediately to generate the opposite signal. We generate a fresh list daily.
Strongest ETFs
We list the strongest 50 ETFs in rank order. Strategies & ways to build an ETF portfolio based on these lists are explained. Our strength rank algorithm (the same one used by The Valuator) goes far beyond the simple RSI used at many Web sites. The RSI will rank many stocks highly even when they have a terrible pattern context. They may have heavy resistance nearby, the high ranking may be due to a price surge that fits within the stock's "noise" pattern, or the stock may have had a minor rebound within an overall downtrend that remains intact. Our strength algorithm eliminates much of the "junk" that the RSI "thinks" is so wonderful. It finds the strongest of what's available in the universe it searches.
Price Surges
Many Web sites display a list of stocks with their price changes for the day. However, we know of no sites that will provide a list of stocks that have had a significant price surge along wtith the volume change associated with each price surge. Here, you can see if the volume surged or contracted (and by how much) when the price surged or declined. Find stocks starting new trends, breakouts through overhead resistance, selling climaxes, reversal patterns, and "watch list" candidates.
Alerts
Stock signals or alerts of R.C. Allen's triple moving average crossover strategy. Stocks with a "signal" are listed. Current daily reports.
Video #1 on The Valuator Video #2 on The Valuator
The videos make it easy to understand what The Valuator is all about in a small amount of time (see the description above and the following additional information here). The Valuator has 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? Our measurements go far beyond RSI. The value of this measurement is hard to appreciate without seeing the charts of stocks selected by both approaches to strength. This is one of the primary tools used by our traders. They buy these very strong consistent stocks on pullbacks. If your Firefox configuration does not play the video, try again with Internet Explorer.

StockAlerts
The StockAlerts subscription/service was created to help high-performance investors and traders build "watch lists" consisting of stocks ready for a price surge. Our scanner tracks thousands of stocks and reports on six different alert systems. Actually, it generates both "up" alerts and "down" alerts for five systems and "up" only alerts for the sixth system. That means 11 types of alert can be generated by the 6 systems. Thus the subscriber can know if attractive "setups" are in place and where they have occurred. 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 there is a "trigger event" that confirms that the expected move has begun or that the setup has "failed." When a person focuses on buying stocks that have a "setup" configuration, he is far less likely to be in a non-performing position for months or years. Usually, it takes no more than two weeks to determine whether or not the stock will perform as expected. This can save a lot of time and make the investment enterprise far more productive. 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. New lists are generated weekly. Use the "Stock Alerts" link on the left side of your screen for a description of what triggers each alert (gaps, Bollinger Band Squeeze & penetration of band, bounce off rising 50-day moving average, high-decline-reversal pattern, etc.). The descriptions are near the bottom of that page. The videos (see the navigation panel on the left of your screen) demonstrate some of the setups.
Stop Loss Probabilities
This is a discussion about the probability of a stop loss being triggered and the fact that you can shape volatility-adjusted stop losses to conform to your own investment time horizon and tolerance for risk. The discussion is Tutorial #24, but it is given a link here because many visitors would not know it exists otherwise.
Subscribers
This section of the Web site requires a password for entry. Subscribers to The Valuator can download a spreadsheet that is sortable and access other information. Subscribers to StockAlerts get lists of stocks that have triggered various alert systems (they can get both "up" and "down" alerts).
Video on Stops
This video demonstrates volatility-adjusted stop losses, their placement, and a tool that calculates them automatically as the stock rises (see the description above). If your Firefox configuration does not play the video, try again with Internet Explorer. To leave the video without leaving the internet, click only once on the "x box" in the top right corner of the video display to close the video, then click on the back arrow of your browser.
The Valuator
Have a good reason to buy! Here are some new and powerful ways to evaluate a stock. This is an electronic "market letter" covering about 500 stocks, with several valuation models and fundamental & technical measurements that are Excel spreadsheet sortable. 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? Top-ranked stocks are listed for strength, velocity, PEG, PE, etc., with trend direction, flags, star alerts, and follow-ups. Every stock cycles between being overpriced and underpriced. The Valuator plots eight positions in this cycle and displays where each stock is in its cycle (see the video demonstration). PEs and PEGs are not based on last year's data, and they don't look ahead a full year. The first approach is absurd because last year's data is obsolete and has little bearing on what the company is doing now. The latter is based on pie-in-the-sky guesses about the distant future. Analysts don't do that very well. Instead, we use earnings projections for approximately 6 months ahead and combine these with about 6 months actual recently achieved results to generate our 1-year data. This data is the basis for our PEs and PEGs. We believe it is more reliable and realistic. The market also tends to look ahead about 6 months.
Stops
This tool is designed to work within an Excel environment. It automatically computes volatility-adjusted stop-losses and is easy to use. 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 to 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 (volatility adjusted, fixed percentages, combinations of the two) relative to recent high, low, or close. It does the math for you. It also includes Fibonacci calculators. Stops is described at the end of the discussion on stop losses (see the navigation tab). Give a stock just enough wiggle-room to enable it to climb with normal fluctuations, but cut losses quickly on statistically significant declines.
Momentum Scan
Alerts focus on price momentum surges. These, especially if accompanied by volume surges, often precede a significant and sustained move. The top 50 stocks from our momentum scan are listed along with their "volume momentum." The list is updated daily.
Stock Scanner
There are more than 6 stock scanners on this Web site. The purpose of this particular scanner is to help you find stocks that are just beginning a new trend. It scans thousands of stocks using moving averages with 5 different sensitivity levels, looking for crossover events in either direction. It generates an alert for each crossover, names the stock and gives its symbol, identifies the moving average involved in the crossover, identifies the direction of the crossover, gives price and volume surge information, and provides a Relative Strength (RSI) measurement. We use the crossover of the closing price in order to have maximum sensitivity and enable it to catch most trends earlier in their development. In addition, we include a filter that reduces the odds of a whipsaw as well as several measurements that can be used for the same purpose.
Volatility Stop Losses
This is a discussion of volatility-based stop losses.

Notes
Notes to visitors and subscribers, information about the timing of Web site updates, new features and content changes are posted here.
Breakouts and Surges
This algorithm searches for a variety of patterns. For example, it might find an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern that has just had an upside breakout through the neckline. On the other hand, it might find a stock that has just had a surge in price and volume. Sometimes a stock found will have had a breakout a week before and the current "alert" looks belated. However, the alert may be the result of something else (a new gap up on an increase in volume, for example) and not be related in any way to the conditions that generated the earlier alert. This is for people who are experienced at interpreting chart patterns. If you need lines drawn on a chart and patterns explained to you before you can see them, this subscription is not for you.
Strongest Utilities
We find and list in rank order the strongest 50 utilities, and the list is updated daily. Strategies for building a portfolio based on these lists are described. The strength rank algorithm used for this service is identical to the one used for The Valuator, and it is far superior to the relatively simplistic RSI used at many Web sites (The RSI is a quick and easy upload from data vendors. Most Web site operators do very little or no original research, and very few invest time and energy or even have the mathematical knowledge necessary to create more effective screening algorithms). The RSI can highly rank stocks even if they have a terrible pattern context. Our strength algorithm finds stocks with the strongest chart patterns.

Strategy Tip.
If the fundamentals change, then you must re-evaluate you previous analysis. Adapt that analysis to the current fundamental realities. Evaluate how the stock reacted when the investing public became aware of the new fundamental realities. If the new fundamentals were good but the stock did not react, you may assume that those realities were factored into the price behavior of the stock before they were announced.
