I moved the start date to 7/13 from 6/24 to make the list more sensitive. If you’re trading pullbacks right now, you might want to use some stocks from previous lists. I do that frequently.

The Persistence UP list continues to serve well, even with the longer than normal timespan. I’m seeing no reason to change it yet.

This morning during the weakness, I looked through the Persistence DOWN list, and found no concentrations of “heavy red” like I would expect if the market were to turn meaningfully weaker. Should that happen, the best day trade shorts will probably come from the most overbought “UP” stocks, and shortly after that, parts of the Persistence DOWN list could break down, big time. This describes normal behavior, not something I expect soon. Stay prepared.

Note that I moved the start date forward to 7/2. Thus, there are no “prior” days in this list.

Last weekend I put together an experimental version of the Persistence UP and DOWN lists, intended to react faster to the market and to get into trends earlier. As it stands right now, and that could change, it is almost identical to the original formulation explained in the Explanation page to the right, with the following exceptions: (1) It uses two sliding timeframes, 8 and 13 days back, and (2) It doesn’t have quite all of the filtering to produce clean, tradeable stocks, (3) It has zero “prior” days. If this seems opaque, sorry, please see the Explanation page to the right.
The reason I’m bringing this up is: If (and I mean IF) these lists behave like the Persistence UP and DOWN lists, I might be seeing a signal that could lead to good trades in the next few days. Look at the DOWN list (below).

Notice the heavy Drug, Food, and Health participation in the DOWN list. And notice that, clearly, some/most of these stocks are sideways to, even, up. In the midst of an (agruably) weakening uptrend in many stocks, in my opinion, if the market were to turn weak, several of these stocks in the DOWN list would provide sweet trend-days down.
I’m preparing accordingly.

Notice that the Persistence UP list is broadening. This is because a larger than normal number of stocks from the “prior” two days are being added to today’s screen. (If this draws a blank stare, please see the Explanation page to the right.) For example, the number of Electronics stocks has dropped from 14 to 9 in the screen, but are held on the list. Today’s additions were included 1 or 2 in several other sectors, but no concentrations. This shows a weakening in the Electronics sector as would be expected after 8 consecutive up-days.
