William@CANSLIM ResearchETON is the only name that deserves your attention today. It’s sitting right at a 63.66 pivot with volume running 1.6 times average — that’s the institutional footprint we want. The other three are actionable, but none have the same conviction; don’t force a trade just to be in the market. With 108 names to avoid, the tape is telling you to be selective. If ETON breaks on heavy volume, take it. If it stalls, you wait. There’s no prize for being early.

The Market Comes First
The tape reads Confirmed Uptrend. I never fight the general market — three out of four stocks follow it. I only put money to work when the market is in a confirmed uptrend; when distribution stacks up or a correction sets in, I raise cash and wait. No individual chart is good enough to override that.
How I Screen — My Rules, Not Opinions
| Rule | Threshold | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly EPS YoY | ≥ 25% | current earnings power (C) |
| RS Rating | ≥ 80 | buy leaders, not laggards (L) |
| Price | ≥ $15 | avoid low-priced stocks |
| Trend | above 50 & 200-day MA | buy only in an uptrend |
| Entry window | buy point to +5% | never chase extended (N) |
| Reward/Risk | ≥ 3:1 | 8% stop vs ~25% target |
