I find that trading trends is the most profitable, so I like to pull out all ftse stocks that have reached new highs in the last week, but have had a retracement (of sufficient magniitude to make a profit and preferably back to either the 50, 100 or 200 MA). This has proved very difficult for the stock screeners that I have seen. Don't know if anyone else has seen something that would do the business. Currently, I go through a couple of hours session over the weekend to choose trending stocks, then go through those stocks (approx 1/2 and hour a day) during each evening checking for suitable retracements and its is a bit laborious. It would be so simple if there was a stock screener that produced a list of all stocks that had reached a high in the last n days and that had retraced x per cent since then... Any ideas?
