Hello stockfetcher friends,

Im having trouble developing a scan for the the 52 Week High. It seems that when I do a scan for the 52 Week it shows stock that has reached a new 52 Week High. Unfortunately, thats not what I want. I wanted to develop a stock that is near/approaching there 52 week high verses making a new one.

Heres the type of scan ive done thus far but is showing stocks making new 52wk highs instead of stocks approaching there 52 week high

Scan #1
Price is approaching 52 week high

Scan #2
Price is near 52 week high

Both of these show new 52 week highs, help would be appreciated :)

Try scanning for 26 week high then put on a 1 or 2 year chart to see the last 52 week high and use that as a reference point.

Or try www.clearstation.com is has a section (url below) that shows stocks in relation to their "% off 52 week high";

set{a1,high 52 week high}
set{a2,a1*0.97}
and high > a2
and high < a1


The 0.97 above can be adjusted, currently it represents all stocks touching within high and 3% below high. (100% - 3 = 97)

Thanx txtrapper & costner for the resourceful information.

One of the things I was basically trying to accomplish is when most stocks revisit there 52 week high and the stock makes movement beyond resistance in which the 52 week high would serve as a resistance line until broken--breaking that resistance line makes the stocks go sort of "crazy" which is awesome.

It amazes me though how there are some stocks that trade volume so low, but when a new 52 week high is made, theres is a sudden rush of volume and it becomes extremely tradeable. Maybe you guys have some recommended scans that sort of find stocks like that, if you know what talking about ?

Fetcher[price reached a new 52 week high]



just plug these stocks into your trading platform and watch for a "green hold" above previous high next trading day.

TxTrapper,

Where do you suggest to place stop loss after entry.

Previous day's hight or low?

Thanks

gchen;

stop loss is a personal preference, many suggest 3-6% setting, I personally use a 10d/60m chart using the EMA(5) as my decision maker. On higher priced stocks 3-6% is good but on OTC and pink sheet stocks I say 3% or the EMA(5) method described below.

As long as price pps stays above the EMA(5) stay in the stock, never let the pps (price per share) get below EMA(5).


Chart Example 3M/D on EDNE *note action on 7/13 as pps drifted below EMA(5)

txtrapper,

what is a green hold?
How long does the price have to hold above the high of yesterday so you trade it?

Ive been trading sense i was 15, currently 19 and i always used the 5ma as support and resistance lines. Of course to each its own, and also depending on the stock. I think using the 5MA works well on bottom reversals and channeling stocks because for instance on a bottom reversal:

If a stock can break the 5ma, it will move considering it also broke the previous day high. 85% of the time thats confirmation for a trend reversals

Channelling stocks
when they channel down they usually stay below the 5 & 10ma either can be used for support or resistance. when growing they always stay above. My personal stop loss is 8%
