William@CANSLIM ResearchKNSA is the only name that fits the mold today—a proper cup with handle, 3.13 reward-to-risk, and it hasn’t broken out yet. Volume ratio of 0.519 tells me the handle is still tightening, so I’m not touching it until it clears 81.67 on at least 40% above average trade. NTRA, HZO, and NAVN are actionable but nothing screams institutional accumulation; I’d rather wait for the trigger than guess. With 104 names to avoid, the market is telling you to be selective—don’t force a trade just because you’re bored. If KNSA fails to hold its pivot, cut it at 7-8% and move on.

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 |
