The Process

Read this do it yourself guide on stock picking to understand how programming can be done to rank stocks on your own.
Then look at the following flow chart to understand the process.




The classifications are key to a much more useful spreadsheet that can adjust its ranking as the market and industries go through different stages of a cycle.

I'm not going to get into the "risk cycle" or how I will assess it, as I wish to protect that information. I am sure many of you can come up with your own classifications. perhaps you would like to look for oversold stocks using certain criteria and given that it is considered "oversold" you may be looking for something entirely different then buying a breakout, or buying a dip or pullback to a trendline, buying high volatility or buying contracting volatility. If you are buying the growth stocks or the value. I won't get into specifics about the "risk cycle" but the market shifts in and out of favor of the individual type of stock it tends to favor among other things.
