The momentum trade factory
Considerable thought process should go in to setting up your conveyor belt. The logic for it should be solid, so that it brings only the best ideas and only those with high probability to you.
I have around 5-6 long conveyor belts. There are two types of momentum conveyor belts I have set up. One is based on six month momentum the other is based on very long range momentum reversal. There is a conveyor belt for trading earnings and other events. There is a conveyor belt for sector momentum. There is IBD100 and 200 conveyor belt. There is a IPO conveyor belt. Each one has a logic. On a daily basis they bring several ideas to table. The speed with which they bring ideas varies depending on market or depending on nature of the strategy. By using 5-6 conveyor belt, you get strategy diversification, plus you never run out of ideas. Some of these belts are based on momentum, some on earnings, some on value, some on market anomalies.
Once you set up such conveyor belts, opportunities keep popping up. You never run out of opportunities. You utilise your time effectively and can focus on only the best opportunities in market. More than that, you can use extremely tight stops and time stops, as you know, if this idea does not work, I have something else coming up on conveyor belts.

What do you think about SLH. It has consolidated nicely in a tight range after announcing better than expected earnings on Nov 3rd.
Not much. Earnings is 14% growth and sales is 5% growth. Relative strength rank by my method is around 90. Not the kind of stock which can make a big move in short period of time in my opinion.
