It does not include low-priced stocks or ones that I have previously designated as ill-behaved (subjective, of course). The screen is sensitive to persistence over the period of time from the Start Date until the End Date. It is not overly sensitive to even extreme movements on any one day. The screen has no pattern recognition. The most persistently aggressive buying or selling will put a stock on these lists. Stocks in these lists come from two sources: (1) today's screen, and (2) stocks from the prior two days' screens that are not in today's screen. This allows a stock in a persistent trend to undergo a brief, healthy pullback and remain on the list. As a by-product, some stocks that sharply change trend stay on the list longer than a trend trader would normally expect. These lists are published in the last hour of each trading day, and are also available at at: •http://stocktwits.com/u/daytrend Hover your mouse over the RED ticker to see a small chart. StockTwits ROCKS! •http://twitter.com/daytrend The Persistence UP list is particularly well-suited to the most aggressive of the buy-the-dip crowd (except those who prefer low-priced stocks). The Persistence DOWN list is particularly wellsuited to the short-the-rip crowd. Full-time, money-making traders may find plenty to do in these lists. During trending conditions, from a daily perspective, the screen normally finds trends that are among the very strongest, up or down. As a trend becomes exhausted or breadth narrows, the former leaders often become excellent fade candidates for a brief time (day or two). During a strong, market-wide trend, stocks in the "out-of-favor" list might develop choppy, sideways, drifting configurations which are vulnerable to being broken or may just appear to be not worth the trouble. Experience shows that some excellent few-day swing trades emerge in the out-of-favor list when most eyes are still looking the other way.
