12. This formula uses a proprietary method to identify levels of support and levels of resistance for each individual stock Increasing the Sensitivity number moves the support resistance levels away from the precise extreme prices of prior support resistance to more nearby levels that can be thought of as wider less precise areas of likely support resistance With the formula you can find stocks no more than X 9o above support at least X below support no more than X below resistance or at least X above resistance Williams R This formula is based on the Williams R indicator which compares the closing price of a bar to the highest high and lowest low in the look back period It is plotted on a scale from 100 to 0 with 100 signifying that the stock is at its lowest low and 0 signifying it is at its highest high A Williams R above 20 is considered overbought and a Williams R below 80 is considered oversold Once again keep in mind that when a stock has very powerful momentum higher lower it can often stay overbought oversold for a very long time With the formula you can find stocks with a Williams R above or below a certain number in increments of 5 If Report only on crossover is checked then the formula will just look for the exact moment the Williams R crosses above below that number 2011 Garsworld Inc All rights reserved 32 THE SHARING TAB The Sharing tab shows filters that other StockVision users have

19. 11 Garsworld Inc All rights reserved 2 BACKGROUND A stock s price moves up or down by virtue of a continuous auction with the price determined by how high of price someone is willing to pay to buy the stock or how low of a price someone is willing to sell the stock for Over the short term a stock s price is not driven too much by the fundamental value of the underlying company but is instead controlled by speculators who are often investors and the prices at which they are willing to trade For example when a very large fund really wants to buy a lot of shares of a stock because it s speculating that its price will eventually go up a lot it will be willing to pay moderately higher prices in order to be sure to buy all of the shares it desires fast enough at what it considers to be a reasonably good price Therefore the stock s price will likely go up significantly unless there is also another large market participant that really wants to sell a lot of shares in that same price range Likewise if a very large fund really wants to sell a lot of shares of a stock because it s speculating that its price will eventually go down a lot it will be willing to sell at moderately lower prices in order to be sure to sell all of the shares it wants to fast enough at what it considers to be a reasonably good price Therefore the stock s price will likely go down significantly unless there is also another large market participant
