The end of month and end of quarter window dressing has run its course, and we are left with a rather dull market. Indeed, the dishes are done, man. We know by now that the solars have had a nice little move, and what we are trying to discern now is the staying power. Are these only good for swinging a few days? Or, are they multi-week or even multi-month power moves?

Inside The PPT, here are the current readings of solar names in which the proprietary algorithm is detecting significant accumulation, or heavy buying by institutions. If, in fact, the solars are poised for a significant move higher, then you can be sure that the big boys will need to be involved for that move to prove sustainable.

What if I told you that, within a matter of seconds, I found a stock that has been up 100% of the time in the month of April, with 13 data points to boot? Beyond that, the average return for this stock in the month of April is 17%. Would that command your attention? Well, even if you abhor seasonality analysis, take a gander at the chart of MDVN below, and consider the bullish consequences that would stem from a breach of $18.

For you reference, here is The PPT readout on seasonality for MDVN, which you can find for virtually every other issue in the market as well.

As The Fly discussed a few nights ago, The PPT is extremely beneficial in many respects, especially with how you are able to streamline the research required to be properly prepared for the upcoming trading session. You are able to create–and save–your own customized “screens.” Thus, the stocks change, but the parameters of what you are looking for do not. Hence, you are working smarter.

As an example, I created and saved a screen focused on attacking stocks with numerous shorts who may be on the verge of getting violently squeezed. In the current market, we know that the S&P 500 broke through 1300 today, and it is likely quite a few bears were pressing for a rejection from that level. Thus, it is logical to look for short squeeze plays. Instead of sifting through all types of data, I can simply go to “My Screens” in The PPT, and come up with tonight’s readings for my custom short squeeze screen. Note the parameters: Bullish volume and technical scores by The PPT algo, heavy short positions, an idea of the size of the float, and proximity to the 20 day simple moving average to avoid chasing names that have already made their move.

Let’s suppose that we have no short squeezes over the next few days, and the market takes a turn for the worse as we plunge below 1300. Even if that happens, understand that you were still exquisitely prepared for the opposite scenario. While we cannot control the day to day moves in the market, we can most certainly take a proactive approach in knowing how to efficiently adjust regardless.

When looking at the charts of some of the names on tonight’s readings, it should be obvious that, just from this feature alone, The PPT is an incredible, value-added algorithm.

Inside The PPT, I created a screen that identifies high probability short setups for trades. The screen focuses on stocks that are experiencing distribution (heavy selling by institutions) and low relative strength, all of which cause The PPT algorithm to downgrade their daily “Hybrid scores,” which is a combination of technical and fundamental readings. I also sorted for names with an average daily volume of at least 500K daily shares, to avoid shorting relatively illiquid stocks.

Top Ideas from the screen:

1. ARIA
2. HPQ
3. MDR
