Need help narrowing 7,000 stocks down to the 250 poised for growth?

MarketSmith Growth 250 is a weekly online publication of premium growth stock ideas developed to save you valuable research time by conducting the initial screening for you.

Growth 250:

• Uses 30 distinct screens based on the criteria past winning stocks showed before they made massive moves.

• Was designed by successful O’Neil portfolio managers using William O’Neil’s winning investment strategy.

• Provides a supplemental list of stocks breaking down to use for proper selling and shorting strategies.

Stock GuideSpring 2013

In this Stock Guide, we shift our attention to the technical analysis of chart patterns. The related screens were designed to help you find stocks with the strongest technical characteristics and the highest likelihood of completing a familiar chart pattern. Learning to spot and evaluate these patterns is essential to timing your buy-points and finding stocks with the greatest potential for gains.

While the stock market struggles to maintain the healthy uptrend that began late last year, many stocks will begin to develop chart patterns. While chart patterns form during periods of market weakness, they act as the signal that an individual stock is ready to resume its uptrend and potentially run up in price. Keep in mind, this current rally has been running since November 2012, and many stocks are extended in price and risky to buy. Using the technically oriented screens in this Stock Guide will help you find stocks that display lower risk and secondary entry points so you can maximize your participation in the uptrend—with a reasonable risk-reward ratio.

To aid your study of chart patterns, we’ve included information for creating and using a model book of top-quality stock chart patterns. By comparing the stocks you find in your screen results against these “models,” you can evaluate the quality of the patterns you find.

If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to learn how to incorporate technical analysis into your research routine, this is the Stock Guide for you.

Pullback Screen

Look for stocks bouncing off their 50-day moving average, even as the market declines.

Historically, stocks on a healthy price climb will often pull

back to their 50-day moving average two to three times

during the life of their run. Pullbacks to the 50-day signal

that the stock is being supported by institutional buyers and

that there’s a good chance of strong price advances, when

the market resumes an uptrend.

Tight Weekly Closes

Find stocks with an emerging three-weeks-tight pattern that present a growth opportunity.

“The screen uses the % that price is up in the current week to

find stocks with at least two weeks of tight closes. It currently

yields about a hundred stocks, but if you screen against the

Growth 250 instead of the entire database, you end up with

42 stocks with potential three-weeks-tight patterns.”

RS Line Leading Price

Discover the best stocks that are currently outperforming the rest of the market.

During periods of market weakness, stocks maintaining

high Relative Strength (RS) Ratings may be correcting

less and positioning for a substantial price run once the

market environment improves. Look for recognizable chart

patterns. When the market is in an uptrend, stocks with

strong RS Ratings should run up farther and faster than

other, lower-ranked stocks.

17MarketSmith Education Tips

Building a Digital Model Book A model book is a collection of stocks with “model behavior,” literally the characteristics and behavior that you would like your investments to mirror. We use these models as historical precedent to compare and evaluate stocks. Using the markups and journal features in MarketSmith, you can build your own digital model book using any historical stock activity that displays classic stock chart patterns.

In the following section we will be using models that can be found in the book, “How to Make Money in Stocks,” by William J. O’Neil.

Creating a ModelStep one: Find your model stock

It does not have to be a recent example, but the stock must be a currently listed stock.

Step two: Locate the pattern on the stock chart

For example: Cup with Handle – AAPL 3/5/2004

Enter the stock symbol and use the change-date feature to bring the chart pattern into view.

Step three: Draw the patterns

Use the markup tools in MarketSmith to trace the outline of the pattern. Be sure to identify the entry point along with any other important characteristics of that model pattern.



Step four: Index the model in your journal

Use the journal feature in the Notes & Discussion Panel to index the stock model for future use. Identify a common keyword (for example: AAPL Model Stock) so you can easily search for model stocks. You may also want to include the following information to assist you with future comparisons:

• The chart pattern type: Cup with handle

• The date of the breakout/entry: 3/5/2004

• The source for the model: How To Make Money in Stocks, pg. 99

• The depth of the pattern: 23%

• The length of the pattern: 20 Weeks

• The pivot price: $12.52

• Other important characteristics of the pattern: “Pattern forms in the handle of a much larger cup w/ handle. There are six tight weekly closes in the handle.”


19MarketSmith Education Tips

More Model Stock ExamplesFlat Base – Microsoft Corp

• The chart pattern type: Flat base






• Other important characteristics of the pattern: “This is the first pullback to the 50 dma and a second-stage base. The volume dries up in the base.”

Double Bottom Base – Loews Corp

• The chart pattern type: Double bottom






• Other important characteristics of the pattern: “This was a late (4th) stage base.”



Using Your Models Once you have model stocks stored in your journal, use them to compare against the current chart patterns you are evaluating.

Use the new chart window button to display the model chart pattern alongside the current chart pattern you are analyzing. Looking at them side-by-side should make it easier to determine if the current pattern shares enough of the model’s characteristics to be considered a good pattern. Be sure to compare the length, depth, and overall look and feel of the two patterns.

Apple Inc (AAPL) 3/5/2004 Linkedin Corp (LNKD) 1/25/2013
