Dom,

I am not sure exactly what you are asking but I will try to answer. I
use certain criteria that signal that a pattern has started. For instance on a Dumper, I look for stocks that dump 20% or greater. You can find these in many places. AB Wately has a program that is free called Scammer. Or you can find it in the gainers and losers screens of most brokers, I use AB Watleys gainer/dumper screens. I then look at spread and volume. Volume must be high and spread low (1/8th) or I will just let it go. If it meets that criteria, I find out why it is dumping with various news services. If it is not VERY bad news like SEC investigation, Fraud or something else real bad, I look for the
bottom. I also determine what the "upside potential" is. More on upside potential later... If it meets the upside potential and I jump in.

Do you use Point & Figure charts

Many traders in the room use charts and find it very useful. I personally do all my trading with simple quote screens and TOS (time of sale).

Good luck,

Ken
