Possible Reversal Stock Scans
These scans are used to find potential price reversals -- price changing from a downtrend to an uptrend or vice versa. In most cases you'll want some kind of confirmation before trading on oe of these signals. That could be a similar message from some other indicator, like stochastic or simply by price trading above or below a certain level which would confirm the change in direction of price.
