[scroll below to skip the explanation...]I ran various short screens today and the below list comprises (the majority of) my eligible shorts for the time being.
For most of these, I need a weak tape to consider initiating or holding short. Here is how I use the list: If a trading day is weak, or if it is mediocre but I am too long-weighted for the action at the time, then I look to the Industry Group Rankings* for that specific day. From the weakest groups within that session I then look to the eligible names below from the respective group(s); this then may generate a trade for just the day, but usually I set out as if it will be a swing trade at least (adding then on further weakness and reducing or ditching on strength).
In other words, if I want to increase short exposure I look to the laggard groups of the day and quickly scan my names below in the group's categories and quickly attack the better set-ups within.
*Intraday Industry Group Rankings stem from Daily Graphs (subscription service), which includes intraday rankings of IBD's 197 industry groups (15 min delayed, unfortunately). I find the screen most beneficial 45-to-90 minutes into the session (there are less reversals at that point, yet it is still early enough to capture further movement from that day's tape).
This briefly describes how I go about adding names. This is in no way investment advice. If you want my advice - Don't do anything I do.
