Understanding the 75 Percent Pullback from Highs Close Alert

The icon for this alert describes the chart of the corresponding stocks. Start with the stock's closing price from the previous day. Follow the stock up to today's high. Report an alert when the stock returns 75% of the way from the high back to the close. A stock can report this alert more than one time per day.

Note: This alert examines and reports on every print. This alert does not filter out or otherwise correct bad prints. This alert is typically used as a warning of something coming, so it reports as quickly as possible, rather than waiting for confirmation.

Our proprietary filtering removes the most insignificant moves.

This filter allows you to specify the quality of the alert. When you set a higher number for this filter, you are telling the alerts server to display only alerts that meet a higher quality standard, resulting in fewer alerts being shown.
