BullBear Trading: Stock and Financial Market Technical Analysis

 

The portifolio using TOP 20 Signal Alphas Trap peformance today is a big 3.83 %, more that twice the 1.71% of the portifolio using TOP 30 Alphas Trap.  Because of this, Alpha 20 Holds Strategy will start using the TOP 20 Signal Alphas Trap in lieu of the TOP 30 Alphas Trap.

 

The IBD 30 Trap returns very few stocks. The trap will increase to contain all IBD 50  stocks.

 

The Thorton Thunder Trap with 30 stocks returns too many stocks.  This trap will decrease in size to contain 20 stocks instead.

 

The TOP VST Traps with 30 stocks returns too many stocks.  This trap will decrease in size to contain 20 stocks instead.

 

A new trap is set up to contain TOP 20 Signal VST Stocks.

The problem with using The TOP 20 Signal Alphas Trap is that it will probably returns 20 or close to 20 stocks at all time. A way to limit the number of stocks holding in down market instead of max 20 is needed.  So we may varied the Size of the TOP 20 Signal Alphas Trap based on how many stocks TOP 30 Alphas Trap return. 

 

The following traps will be dropped as they seemed to be incompatible with the Alpha 20 Holds Strategy and basically not in play at all time doing testing:

 

   El Cheapo Cheapos

   Leaping Lizzard

 

New Alpha X VST Trap

A new trap is set up to contain stocks apear on both the TOP Alpha 100 and Top VST 100 and will be named Alpha X VST.  A portfolio using this trap will use Alpha 20 Holds filter sorted by Barchart .com Signal for selecting new entries and will use the Alpha 20 Holds Filter for exit.

A new trap is set up to contain TOP 20 Signal Boxer's Picks. Harry Boxer at the Technical Trader has a pair of very good eyes on rocket stocks.  The problem with following Mr. Boxer is that he provides no explicit exit strategy.  The exercise is to see how Mr. Boxer's selections measure up against Alpha and VST stocks.

 

The Down Market Fighting Alpha Trap will be dropped as it seem to be inferior and offer no additional insight to the Stock Market.

Since learning more and have confidence that when a stock comes up as 100% Buy at Barchart.com, the Trap becomes Barchart.com itself.  The problem with this is that we are faced with more choices despite our prioritization using Alpha weighting. Like yesterday, there were more that 20 possible candidates to pick from.  Some with higher Alpha weighting not yet in our Alpha 20 Holds Portfilo are in the stratesphere already making it difficult to choose them.

 

To solve this problem, the following criteria will be used to assist in selection:

 

1.  Selection will be 100% Buy with High Alpha Weighting

2.  Selection will be made on if the stock remain 100% Buy for a second date. (This serve as a confirmation)

3.  Selection must not have gained more than 20% beyond its previous 21 day high.
