The MarketSmith Blue Dot Scan finds stocks when two criteria are met: stocks hitting a 52-week high in their Relative Strength line are flagged. A visual cue is then added as a translucent blue dot appear on the Relative Strength line of the stock’s chart. In addition, the stock is added if it is currently building a base.
If both of these conditions are satisfied, the stock remains on the list for 90 days. You can access the list by clicking on the “Open Stock Ideas” button in the top-right corner on any MarketSmith chart.
