Screening for Institutional Buying


Recommended Posts

I saw this article sometime ago (published June 2017) and thought to keep it to check on the progress of the recommendations. They came from a set of screener parameters designed to identify institutional buying of company stock.

Below are the charts to date of the companies recommended by the screener 1 year ago (June 2017). See link for screener specifics.

so the parameters are

• Current Price greater than Price from 1 Week Ago
• Price from 1 Week Ago greater than Price from 2 Weeks Ago
• Price from 2 Week Ago greater than Price from 3 Weeks Ago

• Weekly Volume greater than Weekly Volume from 1 Week Ago
• Weekly Volume from 1 Wk Ago greater than Weekly Volume from 2 Wks Ago
• Weekly Volume from 2 Wks Ago greater than Weekly Volume from 3 Wks Ago

• Zacks Rank less than or equal to 3
• Price greater than or equal to $5
• Average 20-day Volume greater than or equal to 100,000 shares

Is there an easy method to look at these things? How do you do it? Charts seem to show varying degrees of success. Do you think the method works?

Hi @247trader,  the results are very good, 4 of the 5 had 6 months of gains from the June start date and 2 of those 4 the gains continue to date while the other 1 of the 5 had a ballistic 1 month gain before collapsing.

The top 6 on the screener list can be gleaned from a chart, the Zack's Rank is not so important (from article), don't include low priced stock (7) and the last one can be done roughly as it's just there to ensure sufficient liquidity to be able to get in and out.

I thought it looked relatively simple and performed very well over the sample of 5 picked stocks. Coupled with a moving average trailing stop all 5 would have made good gains.

    • Charting the Markets: 24 March The FTSE 100, DAX 40 and Nasdaq 100 slide on renewed banking woes while EUR/USD, EUR/GBP and GBP/USD drop as the US dollar, gold appreciate due to flight-to-quality flows.

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
