What Happened Today?

Everything StockCharts! (0:16:42): 

Bill Shelby joined the show to tell us more about predefined scans, how to manipulate them and also a look at market breadth charts. We've included the breadth charts below in case you would like to click on them and replicate or save them to your own ChartLists.

 

SCTR Report (0:49:04): Erin reviewed the CandleGlance and RRG charts of the top ten biggest SCTR gains and bottom ten biggest SCTR losses. You can find this right on your member dashboard.

 

Ten in Ten Before One (0:53:36): In this regular segment, Tom attempts to review ten charts in ten minutes. Send in your symbol requests via Twitter (@mktwatcherslive) before the show or using the live chat box during the LIVE program and we'll try and add them. We'll also check our email for symbol requests before the show (marketwatchers@stockcharts.com). You'll find all of the charts in the MarketWatchers LIVE ChartList, located at the top of the MarketWatchers blog homepage.

 

Anatomy of a Trade (1:16:11): In this regular segment, Tom and Erin review recent trades they've made, trades considered or theoretical trades. Today Erin was proud to have an actual trade in motion to talk about. As an intermediate-term trader, she doesn't always have a real-time trade to discuss. Tom went through many he is in or is considering and why. This is an excellent education in using stops and determining the best entry and exit strategies.

 

Mailbag Segment: Each show Erin and Tom answer questions received via the live chat box, Twitter, Facebook and Email. 

 

Looking Forward:

Tune in on Thursday at 12:00p - 1:30p EST on 1/4 for a "What Would You Do?" segment and see how your analysis stacks up with our hosts!
