| Hey There Fellow ChartWatchers! | "Stay In Strong Stocks" That's one of my favorite little phrases that I love to shout about. After all, if you want to outperform the market, you need to own stocks (or funds!) that are outperforming the market. But I know, I'm simplifying things here. Those four little words make it sound easy, but in practice, it's far from it. But fortunately for us chartists, we know the magic of relative strength and can use the technical tools at our disposal to stay focused on the strongest stocks out there. So with that in mind, on this week's edition of "StockCharts In Focus", we went deep on one of my favorite tools for pinpointing those strong stocks: SCTRs! If you're wondering what the heck a SCTR is, I'm talking about our StockCharts Technical Ranking system. As we discussed on the show, we've created a unique ranking system for stocks, ETFs and more that allows you to gauge the technical strength of a security relative to other similar symbols within its "universe". This powerful indicator can help you filter out the strong stocks from the weak ones at a quick glance, streamlining your research process and keeping you focused on the higher-probability setups in the market. You can even add the SCTR to your charts as a standalone indicator and analyze the rank over time for any symbol you're following, just like other indicators you're familiar with. We get into all the crucial details you need to know about SCTRs on this week's show, and I demonstrate how this unique StockCharts tool factors into my personal approach to the markets. For instance, you'll see how I use the SCTRs to sort through stocks within the Sector Summary page, and how I use them to review scan results more efficiently.

| ChartSchool "Tip of the Week" | | You can chart a ratio symbol to compare the performance of one symbol against any other by separating them with a colon. For example, create a chart of Apple's performance relative to the S&P 500, you can enter "AAPL:SPY" in the symbol entry box. The resulting chart will display the price history of Apple relative to the S&P 500. | | | VISIT CHARTSCHOOL → | |
