was
the candidate from the
2-Period RSI Below 2


list.
These are stocks that have a 2-period RSI reading
below 2 and are trading above their 200-day moving average. Our research shows
that stocks trading above their 200-day moving average with a 2-period RSI
reading below 2 have shown positive returns, on average, 1-day, 2-days and
1-week later. Historically, these stocks have provided traders with a
significant edge.


The
TradingMarkets mantra is to "buy weakness," and that is exactly what you could
have done here. The extremely oversold 2-period RSI levels would have most
traders running for the hills. Instead, TradingMarkets is looking for a bullish
edge at precisely the time when the stock looks most weak.

1-day later, JST closed
+1.6%

2-days later, JST closed +0.3%

5-days later, JST closed +17.1%


Obviously,
results like these do not occur every time
, but
our quantified research clearly shows that the edges exist during extreme
oversold or overbought conditions.
