To learn more about **Stan Weinstein's Stage Analysis Method** I've created a video course which covers the examples from the thread above in more detail, and some additional content on the ideal entry points for the method udemy.com/course/learn-s…
A frequently asked question is what are my weekly chart settings on @StockCharts. So attached is my settings for how I create the Stage Analysis weekly charts with the & Volume & Mansfield Relative Strength (unflattened).
$ARRY tight consolidation in early Stage 2 in the leading industry group and Relative Strength that's outperforming the market, and holding the 21 day EMA currently. On watch for Stage 2 continuation attempt
$AEHR pulling back to its early Stage 2 breakout level, and intraday swing target. Potentially in the Stage Analysis methods Stage 2 secondary entry zone. So use lower timeframes to look for signs of it holding and a turn. i.e. a Stage 2 breakout on the intraday chart for example
Another option that I'm considering is a version that is just a single colour bar that changes based on the overall score of the 10 metrics. So would take up much less screen real estate, and could be applied in the background then. But want the initial version published first
