Weekly Commentary
Tutorial: Using Intraday Chart to Buy After Alert Issued

The NASDAQ composite slipped 2% this week, but still outperformed the two other major indexes. The week started well but evidence that the corona virus' accelerating spread threatened the economic recovery forced traders and investors to reassess the speed with which the economy, and therefore earnings, would recover.

The drop in the NASDAQ ended an 8 session winning streak and further decline seems likely. Although our market trend signal is positive, it is a lagging indicator, and I would not be surprised to see it turn negative early next week. In that case the number of breakouts to the upside will decline. The evidence for this can already be seen in the number of breakouts this week where  16 of the 21 came in the first 3 days of the week.

Chart of the Week
This week I'll show how an intraday chart from our real-time alerts page can help you make a buy decision when an alert is issued. Intraday charts are obtained by clicking on the stock symbol on the alerts page.

An alert was issued for AMRC on June 23 at 09:26. The image below was obtained after the market closed, but watching the chart in real time would have shown that the breakout volume was reached just after 10 am at a price of $25. AMRC closed on Friday at 27.4, a gain of 9.5%. That AMRC was a likely breakout candidate could have been seen from our cup and handle watchlist on 6/22 (see chart below) as the handle showed good appreciation on increasing volume.
