A new scan we called the ***Buy Trigger*** lets us focus on immediate actionable buy setups.
We apply that scan only to pre-selected watchlist that are comprised of strong stocks that were selected by scans ***Champions*** and ***Marathoners***.
This is why all that matters to us is location of price in comparison to two short term moving averages, 8 EMA and 21 EMA on a daily timeframe.
We need to create a special layout that would make it easier for us to evaluate potential buy setups at one glance.
1. Review of stocks returned by the Marathoners scan on oct 18, 2021.
2. Selection of attractive stock setups that may trigger a buy signal in November 2021.
3. Creating a new watch list *** November 2021 *** to save attractive stock setups in upcoming weeks.
In that lesson we review the whole though process that brought us from the initial checklist to the checklist of the scan "Champions" and then to the check list of the scan "Marathoners".
We conclude that we should always check every setup for conditions of those two main checklists.
The best winning setups have to meet requirements of both scans, the Champions and the Marathoners.
One of the benefits of working with a scanner at stockcharts.com is that it allows us to filter stocks using relative strength. Many traders know that IBD.com calculates relative strength for stocks and that is probably the most important criteria for their famous IBD 50 stock list.
The StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) is a numerical score that ranks a stock within a group of stocks. Stocks are assigned a score based on six key indicators covering different timeframes. These indicators scores are then sorted and assigned a technical rank. By using SCTR in your custom scanner you can quickly identify the technical leaders within a specific group.
In the video I explain how to use my "CAT Volume Accumulation" Indicator for TradingView to find volume accumulation patterns.
You can find that indicator here:
https://www.tradingview.com/script/LWdXEMxd-CAT-Volume-Accumulation/
This indicator colors volume bars depending on change in price and volume . It helps traders to identify volume accumulation patterns.
The main interest for us is clusters of the blue bars and large green bars.
The blue volume bars are up days with unusually high trading volume .
Green bars are up days with normal trading volume .
Red bars are down days with elevated trading volume . It is not advisable to buy a stock on a day like that.
It makes sense to wait until a red down down is followed by a gray day, when price stop making lower low and trading volume dries down. That is a signal that bears lost momentum.
If we see a cluster of several blue bars that tells us there are institutional buyers building a position out there.
If we get a pullback that follows that volume accumulation pattern represented by several blue and large green bars that increases our chances for continuation of the move higher after a pullback.

I’m very excited to share with you the best trading setups I personally learned over my 20+ years career of trading stocks.
My goal in this course is to convince you to focus on trading strong trending stocks.
You will learn how to benefit from an established bullish momentum pushing stock prices to new highs.

We will review the most common corrective patterns: wedges, flags and pennants and we will make them part of our strategies. I will explain how to read my favorite candlestick patterns to improve trading results.
I will share with you my proprietary codes for scanning stocks and my proprietary indicator for TradingView trading platform.
I will share with you actionable checklists that should help you to become a disciplined rule-based trader. We will review numerous stock charts to see how those three strategies worked out in the recent past.
You do not need any prior experience in trading or coding to benefit from this course.
What You will learn:
- Apply rules of three checklists to find buyable pullbacks in strong trending stocks.
