Thursday's Prospects

Screening of the Wednesday, Sept. 14 markets identified 13 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).

Notes

The next earnings season begins on Oct. 10 with AA's release of earnings.

ORCL is within reach of qualifying for an options earnings play based on its level of implied volatility. I shall make a final decision on further analysis after the opening bell on Tuesday.

I'll pick two or three symbols from the Stochastic-RSI prospects list for trades.
