What makes a good anticipation setup?
  • series of narrow range days in pullback/consolidation
  • orderly pullback with no 4% plus  breakdown during the pullback or consolidation
  • low volume pullback
  • low volatility during pullback
  • linear first leg if looking as continuation setup
  • Stock should go up smoothly and not in volatile manner
  • 3 to 10 days consolidation/pullback
  • not up 3 days in a row
