Tuesday's Prospects

Screening of the Monday, Aug. 22 markets identified !# prospective trades out of the two datasets and four strategies that I'm using.

This week, for options trading, I reviewed 474 symbols in my large-cap stocks and exchange-traded funds, and for share trading, I reviewed 953 symbols of stocks and funds of all capitalizations. For both I reviewed 1,412 companies publishing earnings.

I use four strategies in my trading, in response to trading signals (such as breakouts above the 20-day price channel), high implied options volatility, and persistently rising trends on a chart, and in anticipation of events ( such as earnings announcements).

I shall make final trading decisions on Tuesday, Aug. 23.

Notes

The next earnings season begin in mid-October.

I've switched my analytical tool for picking shares under my small-lots strategy. I was using a 4-day moving average. I've switched to the Relative Strength Index, which I think will slow down the trading to amore reasonable pace.
