2 StockFinder Scripts

I have had a few requests for the StockBee Trend Intensity Breakout for Stockfinder. Below is the formula for the breakout. Also, there is a script to add a percent change label to your bars if the change is greater than 1%.

When the dialog prompts you "do you want to open or save the file" click Open. It should open the script in Stockfinder.

Top Performing IPOs of 2010


Tis the season, to review your trades and figure out which stocks were naughty and which stocks were nice. You could of doubled your money if you bought  these IPOs at the proper point. Many of these stocks had some great setups, did you catch part of the move?

While the returns on IPOs look pretty sexy, they can turn into a love-hate relationship. In a few weeks they can surge 100% and give it up twice as fast. You need a clearly defined method to manage the volatility and your own sanity.

I recommend going through the entire list of IPOs from Bluefin. Drop the watch list into your favorite charting software and view them on a daily chart with a start date of Jan 1, 2010.

Sorry posts have been light over the past few weeks. I have been working on a new quote engine and plan on launching it in the first quarter of 2011. This will offer "almost" real-time results for our Bluefin views. Also, we should be able to pull mutual fund data from a reliable source. Have a good weekend.
