Trend Leaders -- a free list of stocks in strong up-trends

Every day we scan and test all the stocks and ETFs on the major exchanges of the U.S. stock market as part of our Alert HQ process. Now we are providing a list of all the stocks or ETFs that are currently in strong up-trends. We call these trending stocks Trend Leaders.

How does it work?

Our Trend Leaders report perfectly augments any Trend Trading Strategy. Trend trading strategies assume that a security will continue to move in the same direction as it is currently trending. Such strategies often contain a take-profit or stop-loss provision in order to lock in a profit or avoid big losses if a trend reversal occurs. Trend trading can be used by short-, intermediate-, and long-term traders.

Every trading day after the stock market close we review all the stocks listed on the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ, roughly 6000 securities in all. Using daily data, we look for stocks that are over their 50-day moving average. We then use three different technical indicators to determine trend: Aroon, DMI and MACD. All three indicators must be registering strong readings in order for a stock or ETF to make the list of Trend Leaders.

We provide three views of the data: a full list of all Trend Leaders, a list of the newest Trend Leaders that just made the list today and a list of former Trend Leaders that just fell off the list as of today.

When a stock first appears on the list (see the Newest Additions tab), this can be interpreted as an initial buy signal. A trader can either take a long position immediately, wait for a pullback or wait a few days to confirm we have a durable up-trend.
