  Graf,
 
 Thanks for your response.I'm wondering about quality stocks in a strong sector that clearly have been in an
 extended basing pattern after a clear stage 4 decline that just crossed wma(30) and just broke resistance. I prefer S&P 500 stocks. Also, in re to sector performance what time frame should one consider?
 
 Thanks a lot
 
 Rich

  Rich, I use a simple % above WMA(150) to rank sectors.  I've added a couple of large gold ETFs and probably should add a bond ETF for reference.
 
 /*S&P sector performance*/
 apply to watchlist(spsectors)
 chart-time is 1 year
 draw WMA(150)
 draw average volume(150)
 /* % above WMA */
 set{x1, close - WMA(150)}
 set{x2, x1 / WMA(150)}
 set{x3, cwma(x2, 3)} 
 set{PctAbvWMA, x3 * 100}
 add column separator
 add column pctabvwma{% above WMA}
 sort on column 6 descending

  Rich,
 
 One very simple non-coding method would be to go to the link below:
 
 http://screener.nextbigtrade.com/#/sectors/S&P%20500
 
 Stage 1s with the number of weeks in stage in 1 for SP-500 stocks will be at the top of the list. It also shows the % of resistance above the stock over the past 2 years and the % price is currently above the 30 week moving average of price.  That list is exportable as a csv file.
 
 Though I'm not sure what defines your personal "long stage 1 basing pattern"??

  Not that I am advocating their purchase, the top picks on my Weinstein watchlist are VIPS, EXEL,PEGI, and SBRA; tech, med, utilities, and a REIT.  With SPY below its WMA(150) and the WMA nearly flat, I see little chance of a big "score" in the near future.  I'll continue scalping for nickles and dimes.

 BTO 1 x M JAN 16 C @ 1.62
 UL @ 16.16.  Against all odds, saved myself a trip to the local casino boat.
 
 Aug20
 BTO 2 x VIPS 9 C @ .50
 UL @ 8.66  All the Weinstein factors seem to be in place, except for resistance at 9.00.
