Thanks for your consistent efforts in stock education!! It is much appreciated.

I have a question. How do you come up with the list of stocks you show for break out, bull flag, etc in Chart Signals? I understand you look at a chart to ultimately make a determination, but how do you generate the watch list(s) from which you get these stocks? Do you use searches?

Thanks

Mike
