The Filter give the user a list of stock which are in uptrend and has recently retraced. The stock picks out stocks which are negative on a given day so that the entry is done at a discount price. It is important to make sure that the trade is followed according to a strict stop loss on the breach of the support. In some occasions the stocks may break the support and continue downside so its key to keep stop loss. On entering any trade from this filter key is to see the nearest support line below the price and keep 1:2 profit and enter the trade. The Trade needs to be taken with approximately 3-5% stop loss for a profit margin of 6-10%. This is a general guide but will vary based on stock volatility. The Trader would be required to draw simple horizontal lines as support lines. Or use chartmill support lines for extra information to make sure the entry is done above the support and the support line is used as stop loss.
