Profit Expectations on Screens
- The profit expectations for large cap (price 25+, volume > 1 mil), mid cap (price 12+, volume 300k-1 mil), and small cap (price <12, at any volume)
stocks are shown below, and should be taken into consideration while setting the screener Price and Typ Volume range.
- For each group, some industries or sectors appear more frequently than others.
- You may want to make separate screens to capture each group.
Preset High Quality Screens
- For high quality Long, Breakout, Short and Breakdown screens use the preset screen buttons.
- The market pullback, rally, and extended rally conditions, as well as how they affect the quantity of results for long and breakout screens,
are shown in the table above.
- For instance, there will be fewer breakouts and more longs when the market pulls back.
