Screening 52w highs and Lows for potential longs and shorts and waiting for the high volume reversal to signify a trend change. Not sexy ... down right boring ...but seems to work when I have the patience to follow it. I've stuck to ftse 100 cos of spreads etc. Only hassle is as far as I know you can't get daily 52w highs and lows online for Uk stocks not like Morningstar does for our transatlantic cousins.
 
I think wwatson does something like this.

he has a thread called "Im Doing Great".
he has website log of all trades.
looks promising.
may be worth looking at his thread / www to save you duplicating research.
( although I think he only goes long, so you may have an extra degree of flexibility )
hope you blog your findings.
good luck.
 
Antofagasta made new all time high (better than just 52wk high),
Rio, Anglo and Billyton either made highs or came pretty close - easily checked.

No reversals or volume so far but they can't keep making highs - even a plonker like me knows that. So they are in my sights for the short opp which must come ......... one day. What makes it better is the sector is rising largely on China Growth expectations. Based on data which I believe may not give an accurate picture.
 
On the bullish side I'm putting JNJ on watch since it again made a 52wk low - will mention Uk opps as I get info - (trading permitting of course). Indicentally, Hmv made a 52wk low this week also - nobody loves it but one day they will.
 
wed 25th Jan
GE, Intel, JNJ make new 52 lows
CAT 52w high (All Time High)

McD made 52w high Tues

After a couple of decent trades with the 52 system decided to Give it a New Home -
