OK now I just bought TSYS at 5.08.
The RSI(2) is at 7
We will see if my beginner's luck is always with me.
P.S. I forgot to say to always place a stop loss order after buying a stock.

Looks like some price support in the 4.80 range for TSYS. Also, that is where 50% linear regression is at today. Hope you embark on very profitable trading!!!

P.S. Joe, your post suggest me a good idea. Yes I want some red in the 5 day offset for my entry point. I don't buy at the top. But why wait after red to buy the stock when it is a good time to go short for a day or 2? I have to study this opportunity but I don't know how to manage short signal yet.
================================================================================
It would seem to me that 2 separate scans would best serve your need.
Since momentum stocks are basically sinewaves, in that they undulate up and down fairly regularly, I would want the buy signal to come at or near the bottom and the go short signal at or near the top of the wave.
Hell, at this point I would just settle for a scanner that more or less hits on stocks with these sine wave like charts.

Will it hold at $5?

I may reenter if this thing gets hit below $5. If it is able to hold above $5 for the day, anything under $5.10 looks pretty good.
I got lucky and sold around $5.85 expecting a "buy on the rumor, sell on the news" type of action, but I really didn't expect this big of a pullback. Support at $5 is obviously crucial.
This one is a good one to keep on your radar screen.

Some buyers are ready to reenter at the first sign of positive action of the stock. The news are good and I think it is just a temporary pullback.

Sold TSYS at 5.49 for a little 8% gain in 3 days.
Kept the profit in that stock for my long term portfolio.
Bought PRFT at 3.10
The RSI(2) is at 4
This is another company who dropped on good news.
Will rebounce sooner or later.

Looks like PRFT raised FY03 guidance yesterday.
You did a good job with your FA and it paid off.
