No trader is ever 100 percent successful in his or her trades. Trading in the stock and option markets is risky and uncertain. Each trader must make trading decision decisions for his or her own account, and take responsibility for the consequences.

The stocks and exchange-traded funds on my Watchlists are instruments that I’m watching. Listing on a Watchlist does not imply that I own the issue.

Abbreviations:
  • h-a trend - Heikin-Ashi trend.
  • pps - Person's Proprietary Signal.
  • pfe trend - Trend of the polarized fractal efficiency line.

About the glance: The colors indicate the state of each signal.
  • Signal Section:
    • h-a trend: green for two up candles, red for two down candles, yellow for one of either.
    • pps, psar, macd: green for bull mode, red for bear.
  • Confirmation Section:
    • pfe trend: green for uptrending, red for downtrending, yellow for no trend.
    • pfe loc: location of the pfe - green for above 50, light green for zero to 50, orange for below zero to -50, red for below -50.
  • Environment Section:
    • ma20, ma50, ma200: green for above the average, red for below the average.
About the categories:
  • Earnings plays: I think these are likely to rise sharply on a real or anticipated earnings surprise.
  • Other bull plays: I think these are more likely to rise than fall; excludes earnings plays.
  • Bear plays: I think these are more likely to fall than rise.
  • Diversification plays: These don’t closely track the U.S. markets or are based on currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
  • Zombies: These are failed leftovers from what seemed to be good ideas at the time. They stalk the Watchlist like zombies, tying up resources and frightening small children.
