Video request, make a video for finding stocks that have already had a breakout today and ALSO have an uptrend MACD that was recemtly triggered in the last day or two. Manually searching will return a small list of potential stocks each day, would be nice to automate. These type of stock picks tend to continue their uptrend for a few days. Edit, they also work better with an overall YTD uptrend, that weeds out one hit wonder stocks and pump and dump stocks.

[@manju271989]

I do appreciate your efforts in determining the scrips eligible for the breakouts. However, There are some good conditions to watch out for. It does not solely depend on the prices. The correlation between volume and price action can give you better results. I hope that this is not used in analyzing live market feed with definite time frame because in that case, It could lead to wrong results. If there are free flow of live updates with in the span 10 sec or below 10 sec, it is advisable to map the OHLC to time interval and based on the previous timestamp, anchoring the previous timestamp data, calculating the values like,OBV,ADX,MACD, RSI and MFI of current OHLC. There may be several stocks who are solely speculation driven meaning that the price is increased on the particular day but the total volume delivered against the total volume traded is very less. One of the indispensable factor, the sentimental analysis towards the news recently occurred can lead to tanking or surging the stock. perhaps, that is starting point I guess. Having convoluted neural network to determine the sentimental analysis and combining with drawing support and resistance of the previous days or weeks can produce better results.

Not sure if below topic is already covered if yes pls point me to topic of video, I need help to print slope of line with output as degree or just +ve or -ve is fine. i am using np and mapplotlib data is like. chris_gayle = np.array([32.44, 67.55, 61.08, 59.00, 21.77, 40.91, 22.70, 22.22, 40.88, 40.83]) X = np.array([2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019]) i am able to plot and see slope but want to get in some variable in text format.

[@yaboiiprettyeyez]

Larry! I was wondering if you could help me out.... I am trying to cross check TA-Lib candlestick methods with another method: is_consolidating(df:pandas, percentage=2)... Can you please show how to do this using the flask framework? I've added a dictionary key, values to be able to access through our stocks dictionary with jinja2 here...... if last > 0: stocks[symbol][current_pattern] = 'Bullish' >> stocks[symbol]['is_consolidating'] = is_consolidating(df=df, percentage=2.5) >> stocks[symbol]['is_breaking_out'] = is_breaking_out(df=df, percentage=2.5) elif last < 0: stocks[symbol][current_pattern] = 'Bearish' >> stocks[symbol]['is_consolidating'] = is_consolidating(df=df, percentage=2.5) >> stocks[symbol]['is_breaking_out'] = is_breaking_out(df=df, percentage=2.5) then in the index.html I access the True/ False values through: {{ stocks[stock]['is_consolidating'] }} and... {{ stocks[stock]['is_breaking_out'] }} but.......... these are only returning 'False' in the web app... and.... I would like to add my own functionality to the Stock Screener. I have the math ready to get high/low points for my fibonnacci ratio's and would be willing to share with your git repository if you could help me get passed this point!!! -100, Thanks

[@rverm1000]

fantastic. this will a good learning tool.

[@pressrepeat2000]

Superb video. So clear. This is a great trading strategy with a huge success rate. In my experience stocks that are consolidating at lows (vs close to highs, like in your example) are even better as a “breakout from consolidation” trades, because you can catch them right before they soar and they have huge upside.

[@alemazzuca]

You should consider taking into account the highest prices instead of the closing prices. Because if the brakeout is reversed (that you will only realize at the end of the day) then the setup will not work.

[@howiehagen8324]

I added an if df.empty step to skip over the issue. There might be a better solution but it works for now. def is_breaking_out(df, percentage=2.5): if df.empty: pass else: last_close = df[-1:]['Close'].values[0] #print (last_close) if is_consolidating(df[:-1], percentage=percentage): recent_closes = df[-16:-1] if last_close > recent_closes['Close'].max(): return True return False
