Follow Up On Stock List

Monday, October 05, 2009 | 3 comments »

That was some list from yesterday. Chinese agriculture stocks like YONG must have all had a good day. YONG had the gap up and run I was looking for. CMLS was a top gainer today etc. Other watches were amazing like ROIAK I've had on watch ran 46%. This shorter trading list for the week wasn't quite as impressive as my hand picked watches. I'm not sure which scans to give my priority now. I'll probably continue to have a lot on my watchlists. I think using call options on some of my top set-ups might do really well.

I think maybe there is a couple people interested in these watches, I don't know. I might put up new lists this week if I make any.

    @ Novice Trader

    right. no star though. the doji was on Friday the 2nd. Doji's are a signal of indecision in the marketplace. A doji at the end of a down-trend like in this case often signals a change in trend coming as it did here.

    It was a doji but a perfect doji would be where the open was "exactly" the same as the closing price. sellers would have slapped it down and buyers would have pushed it up but the close and open would still be identical. total indecision that can be clue for change in trend. MPG actually closed up slightly on the day. This candle today is a very bullish long body candle/wide ranging day. I'm going to add MPG to my watch list. thanks.

    I don't know morning stars. It might be what i call a hammer which is an upright hammer with close slightly positive. A bearish shooting star is the last candle in the last chart on this page.

    "A doji at the end of a down-trend "

    -could be at end of uptrend to.

    in that post with the shooting star that shooting star was helpful in helping me see the drop coming. It dropped off the uptrend line the very next day. The momo died.

    Sometimes candles will give a read perfectly and if you use them with other signals they can be powerful in certain stocks. Other times especially in illiquid (thinly traded equites) they can be wrong 90% of the time. Some vehicles work better with candles than others.
