Power Trader - Examples

Stock showed up on my Power Trader Scan when it was trading at 63.50 and was on pace to trade higher than average volume. What I liked about this setup was that the stock had consolidated for five weeks and was finally breaking out through resistance. This was the first day of the move.

Stock trades up to 74.88 over the next seven trading days. Please note that the stock did not take out the high it made on the first day of the move, on day-two, or day-three. This is very common. If you bought the stock on day-one, it would be smart to place a stop loss below the low of day-two and adjust the stop with every day from that point forward. This would have kept you in the trade all the way to day seven.

Since this scan is very similar to the Usual Suspects Scan, you could use the same examples that were used here. We can also use this scan to find bottoms formed on high volume. The main difference between the two scans is that you will not get as many results on this scan as you would on the other one due to the stricter guidelines that this scan follows.


Stocks that show up on this scan at the end of the trading day have a good chance of making a higher high the following day. However, the higher high could be one cent higher, so do not hold these stocks overnight only because they have a good chance to make a higher high.
