Scan of The Week: YTD Winners

A scan to run as we near the halfway point of the year...

The best way to build an eye for winning charts is by collecting 1000s of examples of prior winners. One of the best ways to start collecting is by running a YTD Winners scan:

Key Criteria:

• Performance 100D > 75%: The performance criteria is flexible - but usually I’m shooting to study the names that have 5x’d the market’s performance (or more) up until that specific point on the year.

The other parameters are simple price/volume/type to weed out undesired results.

Filtering the Standouts:

As of today, there are 58 names that meet the YTD Scan criteria. I will then go through the entire list, selecting the names that jump out to me on first glance as ones that I could have traded through my Earnings Gap Up + HVC edge.

Here’s the list (I recommend copying & pasting into your own charting platform for further study!):
