William@CANSLIM ResearchGKOS is the only name worth your full attention today. The base is tight, the buy point is clear at 191.65, and the risk-reward is over 3 to 1 — but volume is dead at 0.089, so this is not a trigger yet. I want to see that ratio jump to 1.5 or better on the breakout, or I’m not interested. ETON, PBF, and NTRA are on the list, but none of them have the institutional footprint I demand. Six actionable out of 130 is a thin tape. You wait for the high-volume breakout, or you sit on your hands. That’s the whole game.

Today’s dual scan surfaced 130 candidates (actionable 6, watch 13, avoid 111). Market regime: Confirmed Uptrend. Published 2026-08-20 22:11.
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 |
