I Need Help Finding These Stocks

Recommended Posts

I noticed when a stock breaks through a major resistance or consolidation, and has increased volume it tends to continue to go up.

 

How do i find these stocks on the day it makes the break through?

 

As you can see on the charts I provided, this is what I'm looking for

 

Is there some software when I can preform a scan to find stocks that fit this criteria?

any programmable charting software (ie TradeStation, MultiCharts, Ninjatrader, etc.,) can scan for any criteria you like.

Personally I use MetaStock for this kind of query, but like Tams said pretty much every major charting application has this functionality.

 

The real problem you're going to face is how to define support and resistance zones programmatically. None of the aforementioned packages offer a "find major resistance" function out of the box, that's something you'll have to code yourself.

Stocks On The Move from Stocks, Investing, Business, and Finance News - Investors.com is a good service to find these kinds of stocks. I like their service because they track what breakout stocks other investors are looking at, too.

 

In terms of software packages, try to find a good Darvas Box indicator for your charting package. They have one available for TradeStation. I like to use Darvas Boxes for breakout support/resistance levels. You can also use the 1/2 width of box, full width of box to 1/2 width / full width of box for targets and stops, so it makes managing your risk:reward at at least 1:1 pretty easy.

 

Hope that's helpful.

There are a number of softwares and sites geared towards pattern recognition and / or breakouts.

 

Today's Breakouts Chart Pattern Recognition Scanner

Stock Breakout Trading | Providing Daily Breakout Signals

Chartpattern.com - Free Technical Stock Chart Analysis - Dan Zanger

 

Thomas Bulokowski provides a piece of free sofwtare that tracks emerging software patterns, and most of the bug packages there are 3rd party add ons to do the same

 

What is Autochartist | Autochartist

 

Also look at the Investor BUsiness Daily site which I believe has info to supoprt this.

 

YOu need to scan the web really as many sites offer atch lists and alerts and there are numerous packages claiming to support pattern recognition and hence breakouts.

 

I don't use any of the above sites / systems and am not associated with them, so please ensure you do any due diligence if you look at any of them

There is a service based on the CANSLIM method that lists each day's breakouts based on that method. the basic list is free each day, and there is paid for service for more detail. That may be an easy way to get your watch list and use your own filters as to whaich one s(if any) to follow.

 

Go to Canslim.com to find outr more.

 

Again, I don't have any associatiosn with this service and have not used it, so do due diligence before parting with money for the service and before investing your hard earned money.

Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it. Will Rogers

 

Genius...was Will talking about Breakouts? IF they don't go up, you DON'T buy.

for those following the breakout stuff, I listed 10 breakout candidates earler and 9 of them didn't go up.

the one that did go up was ALK. if you bought ALK at breakout on 1/7/11 you're up 3.4%. breakout traders see the nuance comments on BB(bollinger band) on attached chart

 

if you use the CCI method(my preference) you're up +10%. i posted earlier on this method, but here's the analysis for ALK.

entry on 1/5/11 two days before the breakout.

 

requirements for entry:

1) trendline break TLB,

2)cross above significant level. (in this case the +100 line),

3) Swing Low Pivot occurs. (LOW followed by Lower LOW, followed by Higher LOW

there are also several nuances identified. (nuances increase your edge slightly like getting 51% vs. 50% in Vegas). nuances become more "visible" the more years you watch them. .

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
