How to find multi year leaders

Sometime flipping a concept gives you a new profitable method. Couple of days ago I talked about "How to find out of favor stocks". While designing that scan for a readers request, I was instantly more excited by the reverse of that scan for bullish possibilities by just flipping the scan. The scan is ideal for short term and medium term swing trading. You can even use it to generate list of stocks to short, if they break down.

So here is very simple screen to find multi year leaders. Again it uses Telechart.

  • This scan uses the Easyscan functionality of Telechart.
  • Set up a Easyscan with Watchlist=All Stocks. Then add following parameters.
  • Price Growth Rate 5 years= Rank 75 to max
  • Price Growth Rate 3 years= Rank 75 to max
  • Price Growth Rate 2 years= Rank 75 to max
  • Price Growth Rate 1 years= Rank 75 to max
  • Price Percent Change 26-week= Rank 75 to max
  • This will give you around 250 stocks to work with. They are the real multi year leaders in the market currently.
  • Using a scan like this will generate entry signals for short term swing trading: (100 * (C1 - C22) / C22) < 10 AND ( 100 * (C - C1) / C1) >= 4 AND V >= 1000 AND V > V1. Alternatively you can use your chart reading skills on the narrow group of 200 stocks. Or you can design a pullback entry.
Now taking the basic idea you can create variations of this scan to find leaders in only 3/2/1/half year frame. The stocks generated by this scan are blessed by the market goddess and are in favor. So any breakout has very high probability of follow through in next shorter time frame.

As of now if you run this scan it gives following 246 stocks:

    Lots of overlap between that system and one that looks for earnings acceleration. I wonder why that is?

    Pradeep Bonde said...

    Which earnings acceleration system you are talking about?

    Anonymous said...

    Hi Pradeep, thats a nice scan, a lot of winnners there...im trying to do a variation using Telechart of this particular scan but a shorter frame scan...which one makes more sense "Price as % of 90,52,30 low" or "Price % Change 5 days, 1 month,26 weeks". The reason for me of the scan is I use a variation of your indicators on a shorter time frame, i like to trade within a intermediate time frame, but i trade
    another trade within the trade to pick up upswing movement(so called Bull Flags) and put money in my pocket..example, TNH uptrending since 9/14/06 and everytime it solds off and upswings, i add to my position.

    Numerius said...

    Ive used a scan like that, i think its particularly helpful when the market has been weak for a period of time like in the June-July '06 period. Some old leaders die when the market corrects but most dont and those times of weakness are a good opportunity to buy fresh breakouts.

    One stock i contine to hold was bought based on that scan. CHAP. That is the time i usually pick up a few stocks to hold for an extended period of time and where i make most of my money.

    Pradeep Bonde said...

    Hector
    Using too short a time frame is not very helpful. It often leads to reversal.
    You can try
    (C * 100 / C5) + (C * 100 / C25) + (C * 100 / C40)
    This will give you what is moving up on short (two month time frame)
    Set the rank values to top 5% or 2% on the above scan.

    nodoodahs said...

    Just look back at stocks that have had earnings Q/Q growth greater than Y/Y or trailing 3Yr growth, and you would get a lot of stocks that wound up on that list.

    Pradeep Bonde said...

    That is because in the long term stock prices are highly correlated to their earnings power. In short run stocks go up for variety of reason, but in long run only earning power drives a stock. If you see a stock doing well for five years, it will invariably have earnings momentum.

    Anonymous said...

    Thanks, i will run some tests later on the settings and see what comes up..also I use Vectorvest because i like the ranking and so many data points like earnings that i can use and consider it a quicker IBD and Value Line, i was wondering what was your personal opinion about it

    Pradeep Bonde said...

    I am very well aware of Vector Vest. Their method is slight variation on earnings and price momentum with valuation component added to it.

    nodoodahs said...

    Yeah, I know. I was being sarcastic with the "wonder why?" comment.

    Same deal with "value" and the low PE ratio in total, or in relation to historic PE ratios for that stock or industry. The price is below the earnings trend, the price will revert to the trend ...
