Market Review/Status
Market, Interest rate spread, McClellan Oscillator, Summation Index, Market Bias, Money Flow, Stochastic Oscillator, Chaiken Advance/Decline, Chaiken Volatility Indicator, Volatility Index, VIX, Chande Momentum Oscillator, MACD, resistances, supports. Taken together, these indicators can paint a general profile of the condition of the market and enable you to adjust your strategy in accordance with the market's near-term outlook. The day's market action at 5-minute intervals is posted here and so are charts of all the stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. An R.C. Allen system perspective of the market is also here (with its "buy" and "sell" signals).

Alerts
Stock signals or alerts of R.C. Allen's triple moving average crossover strategy. Stocks with a "signal" are listed. Current daily reports.
.
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.
.
Stock Scanner
There are probably more charts that you can scan quickly at this location than anywhere else on the Internet. See and compare charts easily rather than have to enter a symbol for each stock and view them one at a time. You can literally scan charts, find charts with breakout patterns, stocks with attractive “setup" patterns, reversal patterns, other “watch list” candidates, support, and resistance. Charts include Bollinger Bands (great for checking for Bollinger Band squeezes) and the 50-day moving average of both the price and volume. Many sites offer a stock "filter" into which you enter various search parameters. The filter generates a list of stocks that satisfy those parameters. The tool has its uses. However, your eyes can detect significant patterns and process relevant information much faster, better, and more efficiently than a stock filter. The table we include also gives price and volume surge alerts. The number of stocks included here is large enough to warrant daily reviews.
.
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.
.
Strongest ETFs
The strongest 50 ETFs are listed here, and the list is updated daily. Strategies & ways to build an ETF portfolio based on these lists are explained. Our strength rank algorithm goes far beyond the simple RSI used at many Web sites. The RSI will highly rank stocks that 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.

.
Volatility Stop Losses
This is a discussion of volatility-based stop losses.
.
Stops
Stops calculates stop-loss settings 19 ways (volatility adjusted, fixed percentages, combinations of the two) relative to recent high, low, or close. A "Lab" enables you to experiment with different approaches to better determine your preferences (see the video below). Then, you select method and enter dates & prices. No math is needed. Give a stock just enough wiggle-room but cut losses quickly on declines. This tool generates the stop loss price for you and includes a chart for each position. The current stop-loss for each stock is also indicated by a red line on the chart. Stops is described at the end of the discussion on stop losses (see the navigation tab). .
.
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).

The Valuator
This is an electronic letter covering about 500 stocks, with several valuation models and fundamental & technical measurements that are Excel spreadsheet sortable. 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 below this description). 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. Analyats don't do that very well. Instead, we use earnings projections for approximately 6 months ahead and combine these with about 6 months actually 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.

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. 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.
StockAlerts
Scans thousands of stocks for various "setup" patterns that often precede a price increase (surge) or decline, identifies stock and type of alert. The purpose of the alerts is to enable you to build "watch lists" of stocks ready for a price surge. The alerts notify the reader of potentially attractive pre-surge "setups." It helps a person avoid non-performing "empty slots" in the portfolio. The idea is to fill those slots with stocks from the "watch list" when they start to make their move. Weekly alerts are posted for subscribers. Use the "Stock Alerts" link for a description of what triggers each alert (Gaps, Bollinger Band Squeezes, etc.). The descriptions are near the bottom of that page. The following videos demonstrate some of these setups.
Videos on StockAlerts
These videos illustrates some "setups." They should be of interest to most visitors to this site, even if they have no interest in subscribing to StockAlerts. If your Firefox configuration does not play the videos, try again with Internet Explorer. To leave the videos 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.
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.
