Dry Volume

Stock Signals - Dry Volume

The table above contains symbols (if any) for stocks that are trading with low volume compared to the 3-period eXponential moving average of volume (XMAV3).

The Dry Volume screen looks for stocks where the volume is more than 32% below the 3-day exponential moving average of volume. It bubbles up stocks potentially that are in a shallow correction, with the volume very wrung out, or "triangling" down, possibly as part of a handle formation in a cup-and-handle basing pattern. The screener is set up to sort the symbols by the ratio of the 17-period XMA of volume, divided by the 50-day XMA. This brings the most powerful ones to the forefront, without requiring that the current day's volume be greater than the day before.

If the table is empty, that means there aren't any stocks putting out signals at the moment.

Chart Settings

Click on a symbol to pop-up a chart. The symbols are (every 30 minutes) and are subject to change, so check back often.

The header block shows the stock name, symbol, date, open, high, low, close, volume, and price change, followed by the earnings per share rank, relative strength rank, accumulation-distribution percentage, market cap, average volume, and percentage the current price is from the all-time high.

The relative strength rank is plotted as an indicator in a window at the top, in black, and below that is the price chart, in candlestick format. The 50-day and 200-day eXponential Moving Averages (XMAs) of price overlay the candlesticks in blue and red, respectively. The volume histogram bars are plotted under the price bars, logarithmically-scaled, with the 17-day XMA of volume overlayed in blue

Each of the Stock Signals pages feature pop-up charts with the signals applied as brightly colored candlesticks against a default grey. This particular page is the Dry Volume page, and the signals are shown in reddish-purple.
