Friday's Prospects

Screening of the Thursday, Sept.  15 markets identified five prospective trades out of the two datasets and four strategies that I'm using.

This week, for options trading, I reviewed nearly 500 symbols in my large-cap stocks and exchange-traded funds, and for share trading, I reviewed more than 1,000 symbols of stocks and funds of all capitalizations. For both I reviewed 77 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 charts signaled by the stochastic-relative strength index indicator, and in anticipation of events ( such as earnings announcements).

I shall make final trading decisions on Friday, Sept. 16.
