"Barchart has sfor as a sell"


My reply explaining BUY recommendation for SFOR - https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=145103384

"I use much faster technical indicators than most "Technical Analysis" sites which often use technical indicators way too slow for swing trading where I attempt to BUY closer to rebound bottom as possible (Closer to the bottom, higher the trade gain).

5/30 Day MA interaction (5 Day MA falling below 30 Day MA) is used to WATCH a stock and as rebound bottom starts to form, I will reference MACD/histogram movements along with daily volume/intraday bid/ask activities to make my BUY decision.

Many times, as I set my "Take Profit/SELL" point, TA sites are just starting to catch up and recommending "BUY".


- WATCH as 5 day MA (blue line) fell below 30 day MA (red line).
- BUY as 5 day MA bottomed and MACD (black line) rose off reference line (red line) with histogram going positive.
- HOLD once 5MA cross and stays above 30MA (both 5/30 MA rise).
- SELL / Take Profit as RSI rise above 70 (Turns green) and 5MA peaks"

READ FIRST: Managing and updating watch list.

While I migrate contents from my wordpress blog site, I wanted to start a stickied post to go over the methods and process I use to conduct my trades - https://stocktradingmodel.wordpress.com/

Following is how I manage and update my watch list.

Usually on a weekly basis, I will run the stock screener to identify stocks that may be rebounding or about to rebound.

Currently I am using FinViz with following filters and sorted by price - https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=141&f=geo_usa,sh_avgvol_o500,sh_curvol_o1000,sh_price_u3&o=price

- Price under $3
- 500,000+ average volume
- 1,000,000+ current volume

I will then do a technical chart review for each stock and if a stock is about to rebound, I will add to the watch list as WATCH. If a stock is rebounding, I will add as BUY.

Since OTC stocks carry potential for large gains, I also include them in my watch list.

This week, running of filtered stock screening confirmed most stocks on my watch list and added a few more. Below is my watch list as of 11/26/18 with simplified chart review of stocks with BUY/HOLD recommendations (For now, I am listing full chart reviews with annotations links at the bottom of intro page so they can be found easily):
