Quote from Penfold:
If Stochs get past 14 and the stock continues volume and trends up during the day, would this be a good candidate?
With respect to ARD, we see some positives and a few negatives when looking at a Daily Chart (attached). In the 'good' column, Stochastics (5,2,3) has continued higher and has breached the 80 level (red circle), and we have a rising MACD Histogram (orange arrow) From the 'not so good' column, we see Stochastics (14,1,3) sitting flat just below the 50% line.
Although price continues to ride the lower upward trend channel line (skinny green line), it has yet to breach the medium term down channel (skinny orange line). Lastly, the LBDU trigger occurred after the 10:30 AM Eastern time frame.
A trader might find it wise to monitor ARD, rather jumping in before price breached the Intermediate Term Down Channel (black arrow). BAsed on the last run up in price, ARD needs 4 days to percolate, before heading higher. Today marks the fourth day after a recent down move in price.
Just my 2 cents, and of course, your mileage may vary.
