FTSE 350 scan - I look for 2-3 day O,H,L,C patterns that signal bullish, bearish or neutral stocks. I then look for stocks that are potentially breaking from periods of consolidation. I use a combination of Keltner channels, bollinger bands and momentum indicators in order to achieve this. Once I've located stocks of interest, I place buy or sell limit orders (mainly) at or around the 8 EMA.
I will only ever risk a maximum of 2% on any one position.
My exit strategies are less well structured - something I'm working one, but effectively, if I'm in a long position and I get a short signal on the stock, I will exit the position before my stop is hit.
