Even in periods where a stock market index such as the S&P 500 rises, many stocks fall sharply. Several reasons could explain this decline: bad news, earnings release below the analysts consensus, big sell orders from institutional traders (micro and small cap stocks are likely to react more to these kinds of orders)...
The following trading system analyzes stocks and buys the ones that had a sharp fall while the market (S&P 500) is rising. A sharp decline is signaled when the 10-Bar return is between -10% and -20%. The S&P 500 index return for the last 20 bars should be higher than 0%.
There are often many buy signals (more than the maximum number of positions in the portfolio, which is equal to 20) in each period. To get stocks with higher potential increase, a long ranking system based on the inverse value of the 10-Bar average traded volume was created. Stocks with lower trading volume get higher priority. They are usually the stocks that have the lowest market capitalization.
The sell rule consists of a simple 5-Bar stop rule. Every trade or position is sold after five trading days.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
