Consider buying shares of a healthcare ETF such as Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV).
It is a smart decision for the investors to buy a healthcare ETF like the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) in order to get the health sector's dynamic and ever-growing benefits. Here are some key points to consider when thinking about buying shares of XLV:
Diversification:
Through XLV, investors can get a chance to invest in a large number of healthcare firms. The list of the health field includes pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, healthcare equipment and services and healthcare providers. Through the investment in XLV, you are sharing your risk with other companies, therefore, the effect of any single company's performance on your total investment will be reduced.
Stability and Long-Term Growth Potential:
Healthcare is generally regarded as a sector that is protective because the need for healthcare products and services is fairly stable no matter what the economic conditions are. Besides, the aging population in most developed countries will soon be there, and as a result, the healthcare demand will increase in the future. Thus, it can be the solid base for the development of the healthcare industry which, in turn, can lead to the growth of XLV.
Exposure to Innovation:
The health industry is recognized for its invention, as companies are always producing new drugs, medical devices, and treatments. The I-invest in the XLV, you get the opportunity to be involved in these innovative companies, hence, you may profit from their revolutionary discoveries and innovations.
Regulatory and Political Risks:
The healthcare industry is considered to be a sector that can be affected by both regulatory and political risks. Amendments in health care policy, drug pricing regulations or shift in government spending can have an effect on the performance of health care companies and, of course, XLV. Nevertheless, the sector's fundamental nature frequently prevents these risks to some degree.
Expense Ratio:
As with any ETF, XLV also has an expense ratio that is the annual fee for managing the fund. The expense ratio of XLV is usually lower than that of actively managed funds, but still, it's a cost that investors should take into account when they are looking at the investment.
Performance and Historical Returns:
Before you start investing, it is important to look into XLV's past performance and returns and how it has performed in different market conditions to evaluate how it has done so far. Although history does not necessarily determine the future, it can give the information about the fund's volatility and the possibility of its growth.
Market Conditions and Outlook:
The present market situation and the future of the healthcare sector are the factors that have to be taken into account. Issues like demographic trends, healthcare spending projections, and the latest in medical technology are the factors that can contribute to the sector's performance and XLV's future.

Hi All,
I'm a trading novice and I only learned about the Trade Ideas app the other day. I watched a brief demonstration video of it and it looks very promising! It appears to be robust, yet user-friendly. I observed during the video that search results can be filtered based on Probability of Profit (POP), among several other criteria. I observed several Put Credit Spread and Iron Condors trade candidates with POPs in the high 60s and even 70s percentile ranges. Is there anyone here that can tell me whether they placed any of these high POP trades and if so were they profitable?
I just learned that I can download the Trade Ideas app directly from the web site, but there must be a catch. Surely, they're not giving it away for free. Either it's fully functional for a set period of time after which some features are disabled, or it must have limitations out of the gate (i.e. delayed Real Time data) until you pay a subscription fee? The company that made the video alluded to the fact that a subscription is required to access and use it. If that's the case, can anyone let me know if the app generates enough profitable trades to justify the cost of any subscription?
TIA
How SAVVY are you? Enough to see the potential?

The beauty of the QDX HealthID is all the TEST RESULTS are then tracked with visible results shown with their ID that they are SAFE to re-enter the work force, Tested but under quarantine, Taken the test and waiting for results.
All the other companies are trying to identify if you are a carrier of the disease or are trying to develop a vaccine. No one is tracking and documenting testing and the results. This program will aid the medical research programs tracking and monitoring the efficacy of different drugs in combating the virus. Until there is an immunization developed companies will have to protect their students and work force with this type of tracking program developed by Quantum Materials Corp.

Hello, I am using Trade-Ideas window from ScottradeELITE and i can not get the window to produce more than 1 row. I dont understand why, can anyone help?
We moved! Try http://forums.trade-ideas.com/. Taking questions now.
Reasonably timely to delete this board from iHub…“Favs”?
Can anyone know where can I get free email alerts of " Cup and Handle " and " Reverse Merger "stocks ? Thanks,shpan8
Start here: http://www.trade-ideas.com/ProductHelp.html#WSF_MinPrice
For the 1st 2, go to the Window Specific Filters section and find "Up from the Close" and "Up from the Open" - you can adjust them to "down"
For the last one, find the "Position in Range" filter and set it to 50%
You should come to the new forum at : http://forums.trade-ideas.com/
Hi,
I need some help with 3 different scans as I am totally new to the scanner.
1. down 50% from today's open
2. down 50% from yesterday's close
3. down 50% from today's high
Thanks in advance.
I am new to trade ideas. I found info on a scan called NR7 and it explains the concept, however does not give the filter requirements to used in trade ideas. Does anyone know the criteria for NR7?
Help is appreciated.
I think what you want to do it this: You have already created a symbol list with the stocks you want scanned - load the alert window that you want to use to scan this list, click on Configure, Symbol List and then find the symbol list you created and check the box beside it.
Which question do you want me to post on your site, because I posted two here.
ibd999: Please post this question on our new forum location: http://forums.trade-ideas.com/index.php. We'll answer there. Thanks
Guys,
If you are just using TI where do you put your symbol list so that you can run scans just on a selected basket or list?
Guys,
A group of us use linear regression lines in our trade strategy. I found the following under filters but have no idea what it's telling me can you help.
Linear Regression Divergence This filter tells you how well or poorly each stock’s price matches a straight line. 0 represents a stock moving up or down in a perfectly straight line. 1 represents a stock which does not move in a linear pattern at all. This filter describes a stock’s price over the previous 8 trading days.
A stock with a low value is sometimes called a "bunny." This means that the stock has picked a direction and now keeps going and going.

Hi the reason the alerts continue is because we track the up and down movement through pre post and regular market hours for many of our alerts. To only get pre market select the pre market highs and lows
HI, I was wondering if someone could answer my two questions...
1) How will TI and the Robot handle this new SEC 5 min "circuit breaker" rule? Will this change anything?
2) You mentioned you had a major "backend update" that has just rolled out...I was wondering, if that update would effect how the filters/alerts are calculated? (with major market movement over the past few weeks, I thought I would at least get an average amount of symbols in my querries) But in relaity...I have barely gotten any...Just double checking with you on this?
Thanks in advance.
excellent! most responsive, customer-oriented company i've experienced in a long time.
Hi, I use the Premarket Trade Ideas scan every day - I shut the window down at 9:30, why don't you just do that?
Hello,
I am a new TI user. I am interested on premarket scan. But I don't understand why it continue to scan even afer market open? How do I make it show stock activities until 9:30 EST? Thank you!

Try this strategy: http://www.trade-ideas.com/View.php?O=60000000000000000000000_1d_0&QRUI=2&QRDI=2&MinPrice=5&MaxSpread=15&MaxDNbbo=.15&MinVol=500000&MinRV=3&MinLR130=.49&MaxLR130=.51&WN=Crossing++the+50%25+Linear+Regression+Line

Does anyone know how to set a filter in TI that is triggered when the stock is above/below it's 50% Linear Regression Line?
How will TI and the Robot handle this new SEC 5 min "circuit breaker" rule?
Figures, 1st day I didn't load it - forgot about it!
Power bars today! Super alert...lots of long winners.
Day 3, still no alerts for the opening power bar - when we finally get one, it should be a doozy lol
RE: Opening Power Bar...
"They don't go off unless QQQQ or SPY cooperate. And those two are often quite similar."
This could be a good jumping off point to new alerts, for instance, new stock highs could be filtered to only go off when the above is true also (power high?).
beardance: I'll log your suggestion about EMAs - currently we only analyze SMA. Thanks
They are very rare, nothing today also - however, maybe when an alert is triggered using this strategy, it is a very powerful alert - so I will continue to load each day and be patient lol.
5/6 is the last day these alerts triggered, so they are pretty rare, no?
I see that you can set alerts from SMA cross overs. ie. 5 period SMA crossed above 8 period SMA (1 minute) I would be interested in using Exponential moving averages with different time periods. ie.
8 period EMA crossed above 20 period EMA. Is there a way to set this up with the current program. If not please consider this for future development, Thanks
Thanks, at least now I know I wasn't doing something wrong - I already use the "normal" 5 minute opening range break in another window but thanks for the tip.
bbruin: from our Tech Dept.:
"It's certainly possible. These alerts are a lot different than most of our alerts. They don't go off unless QQQQ or SPY cooperate. And those two are often quite similar. So, where most alerts are much easier to set off, and at least one stock will typically set them off, these are much more particular.
As for today, I took a close look. QQQQ is any easy one. The first candle doesn't look at all like the icon or the description in help.
SPY was a little trickier. The first candle this morning was too small to qualify as a power bar.
He will see some examples from a few days ago if he pulls up history. I was expecting this type of comment, so I waited for a day when we got a lot of alerts before announcing these alerts to the general public.
If he wants something similar but with looser restrictions, he can look at the 5 minute opening range break alerts."
I am still not getting any results for the Opening 5 minute Power Bar strategy, that's 2 days in a row - just hard for me to believe that could be the case:
http://www.trade-ideas.com/View.php?O=6000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000_1D9_0&WN=5+minute+Opening
bbruin: Thanks for the Canadian stock symbol suggestion. Someone needs to start a petition! As for the Opening Power Bar - our definition is exactly what we look for; namely,
"A power bar is defined as a large candle, where the open is near the high or or the low, and so is the close. The position of the close says whether the bar is bullish or bearish. This sets the direction for the entire strategy. "
Take a look at the latest results tripping this alert (this will get you familiar with examples of how the alert works): http://www.trade-ideas.com/SingleAlertType/OVO5U/Bullish_opening_power_bar.html
What I like about these alerts is the description information we also provide regarding setting stops - just great stuff.
Your new alert, Bullish Opening Power Bar - I ran this today, May 10, the day the market gapped way open and I didn't get one alert - no other parameters other than a range in price between $1 and $ 80. If you read the definition of this alert (following),I would have thought that May 10th would have produced many alerts.
The opening power bar alerts implement a simple but popular trading strategy. They start by looking for a power bar in the stock's first 5 minute candle. To confirm this, the market as a whole needs to have a matching pattern in the first 5 minutes. We report a bullish alert when the price moves one tick above the high of the opening candle. We report a bearish alert when the price moves one tick below the low of the opening candle.
A power bar is defined as a large candle, where the open is near the high or or the low, and so is the close. The position of the close says whether the bar is bullish or bearish. This sets the direction for the entire strategy.
A special thanks to our friend Oliver Velez for sharing this strategy. He teaches this strategy under the title "the five minute trader".
The problem: using TI, linked to esignal with Canadian symbols. This might be a tough one for you guys. The appendages for Canadian stocks are all over the place depending on what service you are using- you guys use .cav and .cat for Canadian Venture and TSX listed stocks respectively while esignal uses -vc and -tc. Google and Yahoo use different ones also.
So when I get a TI alert for a Canadian stock, I can't click on the symbol and have it automatically load into esignal - I have to type the symbol in each time - not onerous if it's once in a while but that's not the case, at least for me.
So the million dollar question is: would there be a way to designate which appendage you would like to use depending on which platform you're linking to? Or maybe you could get esignal to change to your designation lol - or better still, how about getting a universal standard (just thinking out loud for this one)!
Alexa, I tried the strategy on Friday with 3 stocks TRW, RAH and CXO - worked beautifully on 2, TRW and RAH, was stopped out barely on CXO though it did turn around about a minute later - such is trading. I did take out the Options volume and the Max up and down from the moving averages just to see the # of results I got. Will now start tinkering with it to try to get max power from it.
what I ment was the 5min candlestick was 2-3x larger in high low price range than the others...
all you have to do is look at yesterdays disaster at 2:30....
all 5min sticks were 10x 15x 20x greater in size than a normal /avg size 5min price range.
bbruin might be after the exact same thing as myself. I'll look at that post later.
thx

Our philosophy is that real-time alert scanning and event-based backtesting tools (vs. single stock backtesting tools - I'm lookin' at you TradeStation, WealthLab Pro) are the new frontier of advanced trading tools. Market evolution has forced the need to have these tools to level the playing field.
There are different ways to access real-time alerts. Some come bundled in direct access platforms like Cyber, RealTick, Redi Plus..etc. There are also stand alone products like Insight-Trading, First Alert, Tradeprofile, and of course Trade-Ideas.
We encourage anyone interested to take a look at the different products and tell others what you think.
