Yes, I can understand. It would be misleading to post the results after one day trading, since the charts/technicals predict movement over several sessions at least. One day is not a fair trial, and could be wildly misleading.

Case in point, QQQQ now shows a clear buy signal from oversold levels, and most indicators are now lined up for a short-term rally.

139.142.147.218

There were a number of indications that this would occur today, and that yesterday's action was not indicative of the short-term trend. Market internals were clearly suggesting this to be the case, for example.

IMHO the stocks in the scan that did not do well because of a momentary downswing of the market will, in all likelihood, show a much different picture in another day or two. If you concluded something from the results yesterday, you might end up being led to very wrong conclusions.

So that's why I agree it is better to just let things sort themselves out over several sessions at least, or probably better, a week or so, then examine what happened. I think we'll learn a lot more that way.

By the way, I like the idea of posting the current scan results in the header. Makes it much easier to find and refer to periodically later on as the trades unfold.
