The trading trend quantifier enables you to find the three stocks

with the highest profitability and probability out of a large number

of selections. If, for example, you had ten stocks using this simple

method, it is possible to narrow the list down to the top three. The

trading trend quantifier divides analysis of a potential trading vehicle

the following ways.

First, the reward-to-risk ratio is entered in the R/R column. Second,

a trend score is given to each of the potential candidates, along

with the direction of the trend, which is indicated by an arrow up,

down, or sideways. This number and the arrow are placed in the

trend column. Third, all technical indicators are totaled, subtracting

the negative from the positive numbers. The total is jotted down

on a piece of paper. This number represents high-probability buy or

sell signals. Fourth, the trend score and the high-probability score

are added together and the number is entered in the total point

value column. In the fifth and last step, the action column is filled in

with a decision: B = Buy, S = Sell, H = Hold.

High-probability buy and sell signals and their numerical values

are as follows:

Moving averages 12, 20, 50 +1, -1, 0

MACD +1, -1,0

RSI (14) +1, -1,0

Rate of change 12, 26, 39 +1, -1, 0

Bollinger bands +1, -1, 0

Williams % R +1, -1, 0

I suggest you use the trading trend quantifier to input the information.

Place the data in a three-ring binder for easy access and

review. This will become useful in later analysis. (See Figure 3.10.)

After the information is entered into the trading trend quantifier,

it is a simple matter to select the stocks that have the highest

reward-to-risk ratio, trend score, and total score. Note that the total

score is a combination of trend and high-probability buy and sell

indicators. You may enter the information into a spreadsheet to

expedite the process. Using this simple method eliminates emotional

decisions and results in the three stocks with the best potential

out of a list of selections.

The Momentum Probability, Profitability Filter is an excellent

trading strategy. By using this method you are selecting stocks

based on momentum and profitability. This strategy will work well

in all market conditions because the filter and screening process

will find bullish and bearish momentum acceleration points. While

this strategy works well in bullish and bearish markets, you need

more than one strategy.
