Stocks Ready to Surge
:

These are the stocks that today made new 10-day lows that are still in an
uptrend as they are trading above their 200-day moving average. They are sorted
in rank according to how over-extended they are vs. their 10-day moving average.
For example, the top ranked stock is trading the furthest distance from its
10-day moving average on a percentage basis. Historically, these stocks on
average have had larger than normal short-term upside reversals.

Pullbacks from Highs
:

Most successful momentum-based traders and money managers like to buy strong
stocks after they pull back. TradingMarkets.com uses a proprietary mathematical
model to identify up to 30 (in weak or choppy markets there will be fewer) of
the strongest stocks that have pulled back from recent highs. These stocks
should be considered potential candidates to resume their longer-term up trends.

Historically, these stock on average have had a larger than normal short-term
upside reversals. In order to qualify as a “Trading Window” candidate, we must

required). “Single Windows” are the most common type of Windows. They are simply
a single bar which has its high of the day below the 4-period moving average.
