Big Volume Now scan
The first
stock to come up was FE on the Big Volume Now scan. Its current price is
$32.89. It has lost 9 or 0.2% for the day. The fourth column shows one
grey bar and one red bar. Every column has a grey bar, this is the relative
price or relative volume against which the comparisons are made. So, if you run
a
scan and
find only a grey bar, there has been no change. Anyway, there is one red bar
which indicates a little bit of price movement to the down- side. In the next
column there are five green bars indicating a maxi- mum increase in relative
volume; in fact, there has been a relative volume increase of 778% during this
twenty-minute time frame. One quick glance and I new that I was at the
beginning of a very powerful short rally. I did not want a short, so I moved to
the next line.
This was
what I was looking for, a long. I will interpret the columns for you: BEAS was at
$11.70 and up 58 for the day. It was now mid to late morning and I wanted
another trade before lunch. Not really a good time to enter a long, unless it
had strong signals. BEAS had 3 green bars under % of price change for the scan
period and was apparently ramping up. Other columns revealed that although
volume was down a little for the day, it was very heavy during the period of
the scan which was twenty minutes. I clicked BEAS into Wizetrade and viola
(that`s twice I used that word), a rally was getting underway. I got in for
about a twenty-five minute trade which produced about 80 and went to
lunch. With this kind of relative volume, it`s never like watching paint dry.
Let me
mention one other trade. On the second day, I looked for a long. I found a
stock but failed to notice that it was down -$3.86 for the day. I loaded it
into Wizetrade only to discover that it had been a short since the open where
it gapped and ran down for hours. It was 12:30 EST and was rallying to the
upside. What did I find? Right, a dead-cat bounce. This particular trade was
good for more than a point. I bet you know what came next ”right ”a short. This
was the setup for the next short as the stock returned to its overall trend.
Since that time I look for these signals and have been able to find reversals,
or dead-cat bounces throughout the trading day: no muss, no fuss.
