Stock Scan $.05 to $.30 - Jul, 12 2017

An analysis from last weeks' Scan of Stocks between $.12 and $.28 provided some decent day trading opportunities for small gains and a few opportunities for bigger swing trades.

After having a big pop $ABR.ca sold off for the next few days, but for the patient trader this provided a great entry point after the 3rd day of selling. This is often the case when a stock fails to break out as many traders exit their position over the next few days and once they are out the stock will often bounce on good volume.

$TGIF.ca came off the low as expected and provided a nice 25%+ initial gain as well as plenty of day trading opportunities. Personally I like this company and will look to get long again in the near future once the financing is closed, but for now I am happy to trade it for daily gains.

$R.ca also provided a decent little pop back to $.30 and again provided plenty of opportunities for day trading.

This weeks scan was for stocks trading between $.05 and $.30 cents with 500K+ volume, at least 15 trades and closed within 5% of the high.

Each of the stock's chart were then visually viewed and the ones that were hitting new highs after gaping up for a couple of days or are pulling back after a big run or removed. Although these stocks do provide great day trading opportunities for nimble traders they are highly risky at this stage as the stock struggles to find a new floor.

What I look for in the stocks that are left are the following criteria:
  1. Stocks that are hitting new lows on large volume.
  2. Stock starting to firm up (building a base).
  3. Stocks that have been slowly grinding higher.
  4. Stocks that broke out on positive news. 
I do not own any of the stocks on this weeks list, but almost took a position in $MMJ.ca today when it was down around $.115.

I also day traded $TGIF.ca two times today to scalp $250 and will look to trade it again tomorrow.

  1. Hey there,
    Which sites or programs do you use to scan over your stocks with? I saw you had a nice spreadsheet posted up on twitter a few times now.

  2. I use StockWatch and copy the results into excel.
