6/2 Today's Watchlist: NVAX DVAX INPX PTON MGI DAL
- Thread starter KCalhoun
- Start date
What would a performance summary of a watch list look like?
other than the obvious? What is the worth of a watch list that is not evaluated and substantiated for its hypothetical performance? Otherwise it is nothing more than a weather report and if so, why would we watch at all? After all it is from "Trade the Open" so what happened if we traded the open based on the watch list? Anything? Something? Nothing?
I don't track that, nor make performance claims, but if I did I'd simply look at percent of winning alerts. Meaning how many of the stocks on the list that got above the alert price ran up st least 40 cents or more.
In today's list most didn't break over the entry triggers yet, though PTON did, for a 2 point run.
The main thing to focus on is the specific entry prices shown in the daily answer key table at top right. I update it in real time for members and add new picks; unique and popular; most rooms fail to provide specific entry and real time exit calls like I do, squawk box style.

It sounds as though you may have an axe to grind to with the OP. So I will step aside. My response to you was because asking for a performance metric for a watch list absent any knowledge of the plan by which that list will be traded makes no sense. There are legitimate questions one might ask. But that is not one of them as you would need to know the answers to the legitimate questions first in order to ask that question.

I had a similar experience with my list: Even as the S&P was breaking to new highs, long watch stocks continued to pullback, and currently only 5/32 are green on the day, and only MELI made an entry and it was good for 12 points at the trailing stop out.
After seeing headlines re 80% surge in gun sales I may swing trade stocks like RGR 52wk high

On May 8th I bought the RGR $60s of May and June, Guns sales were screaming back than. I watched RGR move from $56 to $59.99 than, that was the time to catch it. Should have held all the June Calls till today, I thought $70 was its limit.
what?
