F.A.Q
Q. Can you give us a copy
of your track record?
A. We do not tell our subscribers when to buy
or sell. Our only business is to tell our clients when a stock has formed
a Cup with Handle formation. We are very good at doing that. We do not
ask our clients when or if they buy or sell. Each of them will use the
information we provide differently as one will not trade the same as
another. That is what trading is all about. You must have a system and
then stick to it. It takes time and trial and error to develop your
trading style. I suggest you start by reading as much as you can about
this exciting business (Recommended Reading at right). If you study
the material provided in these books and learn to follow the guidelines
and rules laid out by these very knowledgeable experts you will have
made a very good decision. Once you have done that we will tell you
where the stocks are that form the Cup with Handle formation. This is
the best technical indicator to tell when a stock is breaking out of
a consolidation.
Q. When I am at the email
announcing that the new DEL Report is available, I try to click on the
bottom line thats say 'http://.. ' and nothing happens. What gives?
A. Not every email package works the same. Some,
such as those built into Netscape or Internet Explorer will automatically
display as links those items that appear to be links. Other email packages,
such as what comes with AOL display everything as text.
If you can't click on the url at the bottom of the email
(example: 'http://www.cupwatch.com/Report/123') then you have 2 choices.
One is to bring up your browser and type the url in exactly as shown.
Case is significant. You must do it exactly.
The other choice is going to sound like a lot of work, but after you
try it a couple of times, you'll find it is really easy. While looking
at the email that you are having problems with:
- Move your mouse cursor
to the far left of the line that contains the url.
- Click and hold down on
the left button, don't let it up. Move the mouse to the right so that
as you are moving it, you see the line start to be highlighted as
you are moving.
- When you have highlighted
the whole text area, release the left mouse button.
- Most windows based programs
will have an area at the top of the window marked 'File Edit ...'.
Click on 'Edit' and a drop down menu will appear. In the drop down
menu, click on 'Copy'. The highlighted text will be placed into an
internal area of memory called a clipboard.
- Bring up your browser.
- Click in the area that
you would normally type in a url. This makes it an active typing area.
- Click on 'Edit' at the
top of the browser's window. You should see the option 'Paste' is
active. Click on 'Paste'. This should take what is in the internal
clipboard and place a copy of it where the active data entry area
is. This is why the step just above is important.
- Press your Enter key on
the keyboard. The report should now be loaded.
Q. I cannot always find
the symbols you give us in a Breakout Report in a previous report. How
can I easily find the report?
A. There are several reasons why the symbol
was never reported in a previous report. We do not research the breakout
stocks, we merely report those that breakout in the Top Groups the day
they breakout. So when they made a Cup with Handle they may not have
been in one of the top two groups. They may not have met our criteria
for a formation with the stats we would normally report. We screen out
several stocks each day because of low volume, poor stats, shape, etc.
If it was in a report the
easiest way to find the date of the report is to look at the bar that
made up the Right Side of the Cup (we give you this date) and count
that bar plus three more and that bar date will be the date we reported
it. The only time that would not be true is for stocks we report on
Monday. We update the Industry Groups every weekend so if a stock with
a recent Cup with Handle was moved up with its group we would report
that to you for the first time on the following Monday.
Q. Recently I have notice
there is a lot of stocks breaking out with a handle that is only 5 -
7 days long. Should we consider them as a good breakout?
A. We are presently approaching the
end of a very distressful Bear market that has lasted nearly two years.
The purpose of the handle is to "shakeout the weak and timid" investors
that remain in the stock. At this time there are no weak and timid investors
left in the market anywhere. Therefore there is little resistance when
the handle begins to form so it moves up quickly on some stocks.
Q. What do group one symbols
and group two symbols mean?
A. Group 1 stocks are those stocks
in the top 25% of the Industry Groups or the first 50. Group 2 are those
stocks in the second 25% or from 51 to 100.
Q. Why is it that not
all stocks listed in the Breakout Stocks in the DEL Report were reported,
in the DEL Report, at the time they formed the Cup with Handle?
A. We screen the stocks in the Regular
Cup with Handle section to make sure they have good fundamental numbers.
They also must trade over 10,000
shares a day. Our clients are made up of both investors and traders.
Thus each will use the information we provide in different ways. You
need to do your own research before placing these in your CupWatch list
to make sure they meet your criteria. We do not screen stocks in the
Breakout Section because of the time involved. You need to check these
out very carefully to make sure they fit
your trading criteria.
If you
have the desire and patiences you may want to place them in your charting
software to see how well they perform. Many of them will surprise you.
You will learn a lot about how to trade Cup with Handles if you do this.
Q. What is the relationship
between the Daily DEL Report and the Weekly DEL Report?
A. The Weekly Report is not connected
to the Daily Report in any way. The Cup with Handle formation can be
used on any daily, weekly, or monthly data chart. The location of the
bars and their relation to each other along with the volume action determines
the Cup with Handle formation. Each bar on a daily chart represents
one day, weekly chart one week, and the monthly chart one month. Consquently
it may take two to three months for a Cup with Handle to form on a Daily
chart where is may and usually does take a couple of years to form one
on a weekly chart.
We screen the stocks in the
Regular Cup with Handle section to
