How to find shorts using Telechart

After a multi week rally in which the Nasdaq 100 made a 18% move from February low, in last few weeks we are witnessing some good selling. Many stocks which were leading this market are  now having a correction or a pullback.

If you are looking for shorts using Telechart ....
At this stage if you want to look for short opportunities then there are many ways you can look at stocks which were lagging the market and look for shorts in them. You can look at stocks which rallied a lot during this bull phase and which are just starting to breakdown.

How to find strong stocks now breaking down using Telechart ......

To find stocks which were rallying and now breaking down you can create the following easyscan:

  1. Watchlist= common stocks
  2. Liquidity condition: pcf= MINV3.1 >= 1000=true
  3. Price % change 6 month= rank 75 plus
  4. Price % change one month = rank 1 to 25
  5. Price per share>7
The Telechart scan will give you 88 possible short ideas .....
If you run the scan today you will get 88 stocks . These are the stocks which you can watch for possible shorts on a rally in shorter time period.

How to get the maximum out of your Telechart

There are many more ways you can use Telechart to find both long and short ideas. Many people who subscribe to Telechart are not fully aware of how they can use it to find profitable trade ideas. Many times people have a trading idea but they do not know how to convert it in to a Telechart  PCF or a Telechart Easyscan.

Many beginner traders struggle trying to put together trading method using Telechart. On the members site for last couple of weeks I have been running a daily series of posts on various ways in which one can use the Telechart scanning capacities to find profitable ideas. Every day a scan problem is posted and members try and arrive at solution to it  and next day the solution to the scan problem is provided.
