ROST gave a fresh bear signal. However, I already hold a bear position in the symbol based on a late June break below the 20-day price channel. See the June 26 update to my analysis, "ROST: A downtrend begins".
A move last week above the 10-day price channel took ROST out of bear mode. However, the breakout wasn't confirmed, and so I retained my position, rendering moot the present break below the 20-day channel.
The distinction I'm making is between mode -- bull or bear -- and the trading decision. A symbol can switch modes, but I won't trade the signal unless it is confirmed under my rules.
A bull signal on PBR/A occurred on a bearish chart, and HELI's bear signal can't be traded because the options lack sufficient open interest to construct a position.
I won't be doing further analysis of symbols from the prospects list.
See "Tuesday's Prospects" for a description of the first round of analysis.
