Persistence DOWN

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions The screen is sensitive to persistence over the period of time from the Start Date until now. It is not overly sensitive to any one day. The screen has no pattern recognition. The screen is applied to a relatively stable list of liquid, mostly U.S.-based stocks that is generated daily. It does not include low-priced stocks or ones that I have designated as ill-behaved (subjective, of course).

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 During trending conditions, from a daily perspective, the screen normally finds trends that are among the very strongest. As a trend exhausts or breadth narrows, the former leaders often provide excellent fade candidates for a brief time. During a strong, market-wide trend, stocks in the "out-of-favor" list might develop choopy, sideways, drifting configurations which are vulnerable to being broken. After the initial profit-taking phase, as psychology further changes, momentum traders often move to the formerly "out-of-favor" stocks and trade with the new trend.
