Days to cover is a ratio found by dividing the short interest by the 100 day average volume. The resultiong number is how many days it would take for all the shorts to cover if they were the only buyers and they all covered. A number less than 5 does not have much bearing. Between 5 and 10 with a catalyst and it should add momentum to the trasde. Over 10 and a good catalyst, let the fire works begin!

Thanks for the regular watchlist, I was also interested in learning about the 'days to cover' aspect, so thanks for explaining that.

Nice video, thanks for sharing! Quick question, so do you trade the 5 min setup all through the day? or do you switch to 1 min too?

Generally I just use the 5 minute chart. If it is really volatile I will use the 1 minute within th econtext of the 5 minute

Really like how you use the 5 and 15. We follow so many stocks from day to day and have to move on the fly. I find myself going back and looking at the 5 and 10 day charts. So the 5 and 15 provide a good frame of reference. Thanks for the tip.

I look the largest % gainers using Interactive Brokers in house screen, same with Sure Trader. I also use finviz. With STT, first thing in the morning I have volume set for 10,000 on stocks priced between $1 and $20 and an 8% move. When the market opens I change the volume parameter to 500,000 and then 1,000,000.
