A passion for trading, relentless innovation, and enthusiasm is what puts us ahead of the curve. We don't strive to be the biggest
with all the unnecessary bells & whistles - just a small enterprise of talented individuals bursting with energy...
Our goal is to advance beyond simply providing run-of-the-mill stock quotes, technical charts & indicators, into developing
'productive' tools which actually help us find potential trading opportunities (both bullish and bearish technical trade setups) quickly
and easily, presented in a simple-to-use, interactive web page. We won't waste time with a multitude of indicators & systems which
don't work. Our focus is on developing time-tested tools which have proven consistently profitable in our trading...
For instance, every hour of the day from 10:30am until 4:00pm (market close), our computer scans every stock in the S&P, Nasdaq
and Dow indexes, then drills down to the latest TOP THREE 100% bullish technical trade setups based on our proven 'trend-index'
(TI) indicator...
The indicator (which you will learn about in a moment) provides us with
a clear 'signal' when a stock becomes either 100% bullish (precision time to buy the stock), or 100% bearish (time to short the stock),
or remains 'neutral'...
The top 3 stocks which meet our 100% bullish criteria are published free, on our home page (to view the latest top 3 stocks right
now, click on the 'Stock Charts' tab at the top of this page - look for the info-box as shown above).
Note: While the latest stocks update every hour, once we decide to trade a stock, the trade usually lasts for 3-4 trading days from
open to close. The 'hourly' updates simply provide the 'freshest' opportunities.
How do we know when a stock becomes 100% bullish, or 100% bearish? For this, we use our unique trend-index indicator. So let's get
started...
Firstly, the trend-index (TI) indicator can be loaded up for any stock by
selecting it from the Indicator #1 drop-down menu located directly below any stock chart you may be viewing.
The indicator is a sophisticated 'oscillator' with a highly complex built-in formula. However, it is simple to use. As you will see,
the oscillator fluctuates up and down, in a smooth, cyclical fashion...
When the TI-indicator is rising it is coded green. When the TI-indicator is falling it is coded
red.
You can start right now to observe the TI-indicator. Go to our free charts, check out any high volume stock with the TI-indicator
loaded underneath. View & witness the consistency of the indicator. Notice how a stock tends to start rallying whenever a brand
new green bar (buy signal) appears in the TI-indicator. Similarly, notice how the stock tends to decline whenever a new red bar (short
signal) appears.
Of course there is a little more work involved which we will cover in a moment. But you will see that the TI provides valuable insight,
allowing us to pick & choose/shortlist which stocks to consider trading. This immediately cuts down our work every few days when
we want to find the next stock to trade, as we do not need to scour dozens and dozens of different charts. We know what to look for,
and this saves time.
Now, based on the TI, we apply very straightforward, fixed rules before a stock 'qualifies' to be listed in the Top 3 picks box (and
in our Live-Hot-Scans screen, which includes the full list, inc bearish stocks)...
Rule #1: A 100% bullish stock is one in which the TI-indicator changes
from red to green, below the zero-line. In other words, whenever the TI-indicator is BELOW the zero-line and presents a brand-new
GREEN bar, it means the stock has become '100% technically bullish'.
Rule #2: Similarly, A 100% bearish stock is one in which the TI-indicator changes from green to red, above the zero-line. In
other words, whenever the TI is ABOVE the zero-line and presents a brand-new RED bar, it means the stock has become '100% technically
bearish'.
The example above shows the chart for General Motors (GM) stock, with two recent trading opportunities (short and long). Notice the
'buy' opportunity mid-way on the chart, where the TI-indicator is below zero and is displaying a new Green bar (in other words, a
100% bullish setup/signal).
The free-to-use trend-index indicator is a robust stock 'trend' oscillator, which takes into account a number of key technical factors
(momentum, short-medium term trend studies, and major market/sector cycles) fully built into it's code (which is 100% automated),
then integrates these dynamically changing variables into a simple-to-view oscillator which fluctuates up and down (green-red-green-etc.).
To re-cap...
Rule #1: When the trend-index indicator displays a brand new green bar and is below the zero-line, this represents a
100% Bullish stock (potential 'buy' opportunity).
Rule #2: When the trend-index indicator displays a brand new red bar and is above the zero-line, this represents a
100% Bearish stock (potential 'shorting' opportunity).
Everything we need to know about the short-term strength or weakness and 'expected' short-term (next few days) direction and momentum
of a stock is built into the core TI-indicator. Remember it is 100% free, so you can witness this for yourself right now (simply click
on 'Stock Charts', and load up the indicator).
Moving a step further, we have now built into our home page, a useful 'rating-gauge' for every stock, which tells you instantly
whether a stock is 100% bullish, 100% bearish, or Neutral...
The stock ratings 'gauge' is displayed for every stock you load up, and you can see the latest 'rating' for a stock just above the
chart. It's live, updated throughout the day (similar to the top 3 box updates).
The gauge makes life a lot easier, as you can imagine the 'efficiency' of simply looking at a stock chart and seeing immediately if
it was a 100% bullish stock or a 100% bearish stock (or indeed 'neutral'). This way, we can now view a dozen stock charts in a couple
of minutes.
The gauge is based on the same rules...
If the TI is below zero & showing a new green bar, then it is simply labeled
100% Bullish.
If the TI is above zero & showing a new red bar, then it is labeled
100% Bearish.
Every stock throughout our database now contains this 'visual' gauge, allowing us to determine instantaneously and objectively which
stocks are potential trade opportunities...
The majority of stocks (in the majority of time), are usually 'neutral' hence do not have the full green (100% bullish) or full red
(100% bearish) reading...
But every day, there are a small minority of high-volume stocks, which are 100% bullish or 100% bearish. We publish the top
3 100% bullish stocks for free on our home page, as described above (free tool #1). In addition, we also provide the full list (inc
bearish stocks) within our Live-Hot-Scans screen.
Experienced traders know precisely when to use the 100% bullish hot-scans screen to trade '100% bullish' stocks, and when to use the
100% bearish hot-scans screen to trade '100% bearish' stocks. As part of our Live-Hot-Scans service (see lower down this page) you
will also receive our unique xTrend indicator, which determines the trend in the overall market. Rules: When xTrend is above
65% (overbought) look for 100% bullish stocks. When xTrend is below 35% (oversold) look for 100% bearish stocks.
Beyond providing this essential (free) service, we also include almost everything else you need to keep an informed eye on the market,
such as intra-day stock quotes, technical charting, unfolding market news, etc. Our data comes in from some of the most reliable,
technologically versed sources in the financial-information industry, ensuring you get clean, accurate stock prices in over 10,000
instruments traded within the NYSE, Nasdaq and Amex stock markets. This is important to us, as all of our analysis tools, and number-crunching
requires a continual stream of dependable data to maintain optimum accuracy & efficiency...
Available to display directly below any stock chart, you can apply all the
mainstream 'added' indicators, such as MACD, RSI, Moving Averages etc.
Of course, most online brokers and charting sites already provide many of these indicators We have added these tools into our product,
in order that you can analyze a 100% bullish/bearish stock further, all on one organized, easy-to-use web page.
Technical analysis has it's place in developing a well-structured trading plan, but there is no need to overdo it with excessive complexity
and too many indicators. If you overdo it with too many indicators, your 'system' may become unnecessarily 'over-cautious'...
Often, the simplest of indicators to determine the short, medium and long term trend in a stock or index, coupled with the red/green
bars are the most productive place to start. For instance, you can apply a mid-term, 50-day moving average to a stock, and decide
to only trade 100% bullish signals in the stock when the 50 day MA is also up, and only trade 100% bearish signals when 50 day MA
is down.
All our services/tools listed above are 100% free...
You do not need to signup. Every individual trader, investor, student, teacher, curious soul, is welcome to utilize our free, continually
innovative service.
Our goal is to advance technical analysis (TA) and 'trend' trading methods to the mainstream, in order to allow individuals who would
otherwise 'blindly' pick stocks, to apply and appreciate the value of technical analysis and system-building, through the productive
use of our core trend tools, the ratings gauge, and live-scans feature, which essentially provide the perfect starting point for finding
fresh opportunities.
Our product is fully web-based, allowing convenient accessibility from any internet connected PC, laptop, browser-enabled PDA or mobile
phone. Everything you need to witness the value of the TI-indicator, the 100% bullish and 100% bearish stock signals based on the
TI, is completely free. If you find value in what you see, you may wish to sign up (free 14 day trial) to our Live-Hot-Scans service
- this simply provides the full list of 100% bullish (and 100% bearish) stocks every hour - an extension to the free top 3 list.
We pack a lot of studies and multi-layer formulae into our trend-index indicator. It is a powerful oscillator which provides a degree
of reliability in determining whether a stock is trending up (green TI) or down (red TI). However, the process we use to find and
trade stocks is essentially very simple...
Whenever the TI-indicator in a stock drops below zero and turns green, the stock becomes 100% bullish. Whenever the TI-indicator in
a stock rises above zero and turns red, the stock becomes 100% bearish...
With this key piece of information, we cut down a significant amount of time deciding which stocks to trade. Every day, there are
only a small minority of stocks, which are 100% bullish or 100% bearish. These are the stocks we 'shortlist' for further 'study' (as
shown below) before making a decision which stock to trade...
Here's the key: The more consistent a stock has moved in the past, according to the TI-indicator green/red bars, the higher
the probability of a successful trade, the next time there is a signal.
In other words, when you study each stock from the shortlist (eg., from the top 3 list, or the full list in our Live-Hot-Scans service),
look for stocks where the 'green' swings in the TI-indicator reliably and consistently results in the stock rising (or when the 'red'
swings in the TI regularly results in the stock falling)...
These are the stocks we consider to be in tune with our TI-indicator based trading strategy. These are the stocks we decide
to trade. Usually it is just one or two stocks. A typical trade lasts for 3-4 days.
The heart and soul of our system is the free TI-indicator itself. But note, unlike the majority of indicator's and technical-analysis
systems, we don't look to ours as the holy-grail 'be-all and end-all' for every stock...
Instead, we apply the human-dimension to our selection of stocks. As explained above, once we have our shortlist of 100% bullish and
100% bearish stocks, we study each chart to find historical 'consistency': The more consistently reliable the TI is in a stock,
the more confident we are to profit on it from any current and future signals. This is akin to an 'art & science' combination
to stock trading - not relying completely on closed end systems, and laboring that extra distance - it's well worth it.
Quick tip: It is useful to note down any stock chart you see (even while casually browsing our free stock charts) which is consistently
in tune with TI, for future reference. This way, you can check on the stock from time to time, to discover any newly developing potential
signals. Some 'work' is essential for all successful traders - actually, we find it's all quite good fun and provides that unique
edge/polish.
If you have any questions/queries about anything we have not covered above, then we also have a dedicated FAQ/Support
page which provides solutions to most questions.
In addition to our free-to-use services, we also provide our unique Live-Hot-Scans screen...
The screen advanced beyond the Top-3 stocks, and provides the full list of stocks from the S&P 500, the Nasdaq 100 and
the Dow 30, which are 100% bullish. In addition, you will also be able to view 100% bearish stocks, ideal during bear markets.
The key advantages of using Live-Hot-Scans are specified below...
1. More stocks to choose from, as you will see the full list (not just the top 3) of 100% bullish stocks, typically around 12-15 stocks/hour.
This takes only a few minutes of extra study, but improves your field of opportunity significantly, towards finding the 'ideal' stock
to trade.
2. View 100% bearish stocks, ideal for finding 'short' trading opportunities, plentiful during bear markets. The TI-indicator works consistently
for both bull (green) and bear (red) markets.
3. As a Live-Hot-Scans member, you will also receive our key xTrend-indicator, which can be loaded up from the indicator drop-down menu's
below the chart, after you log in. The xTrend tells you when the general market as a whole is bullish or bearish, ie., when
to trade bullish stocks, and when to trade bearish stocks. The rules are simple: Whenever the xTrend drops to below 35%, this indicates
the market is oversold (bottoming out) and ideal for trading 100% bullish stock opportunities. Similarly, whenever the xTrend rises
above 65%, this indicates the market is overbought (topping out), ideal for trading bearish stocks.
