Some thoughts - use $VIX as a RTM cutoff? $VIX>25 lets say, or VTY price on the VIX? The day that the stock/index drops and triggers the RTM all-in scenario you would hope would have some tell-tale change like $VIX increase (for the market) or some change in the stock itself - maybe a drop bigger than the ave ATR over the last X days? Another factor - and this bit me - bad news causing a sudden drop. Had a pharma stock get entered by RTMs after a sudden drop from a long upswing. The drop was caused by the company's main drug failing to pass the FDA test. That isn't going to rebound and currently I know of no way to scan for things like that (bad news vs tech indicators) | |
