Not sure if I will replace the two long plays closed out today. If I do, it will be looking for a 1% pullback off of today's close on the following stocks:
CSTR - scored 5/6 on the new Connors filters, is below the LBB(42,2), and is more than 2 SD below its usual relationship with the SPY. Entry would be at 41.40, stop loss at 40.15, and profit target at 44.00
ULTA - scored 2/6 on the new Connors filters, and is more than 2 SD below its usual relationship with the SPY. Entry would be at 22.00, stop loss at 21.35, and profit target at 23.35

Net gain/loss so far this week - gain of 0.17% (up $83.77 on $50,000 invested after commission costs of $179.00). Trading costs accounted for 0.36%.
I need to decide on whether or not I use profit stops - in the case of CRZO I could have netted 5% rather than losing 8%, but for ULTA I took a 6% profit rather than the 19.5% I could have had if I just closed it out at the end of this week.
Either approach, applied consistently, would have made me a LOT more this week.

Kevin, thanks for all the work you have done on this forum. I would like to re-produce your results. However, I can't seem to see the latest filter you are using. could you please point me to the latest filter? Thanks again.

I’ll be in London this week on business, with a fairly busy schedule. Back on Friday.
Futures are getting ugly today, so no planned trades.
The filters pulled up a couple of short candidates worth tracking however:
BCRD
KV-A
SNIC
PDE
ITMN
Only three long plays were generated:
BNE
AVNR
EUO
Can’t really track these as I usually do, so I’ll sit in cash for this week.
