Combination for buying stocks in a bear market
RT Kicker Combo / SP500 Ascending
Bear Market Beaters  / Marathon
Gain Loss of 50/10
The key is the Marathon search which is used during a bear market, by people who still want to buy stocks in bear market period.

High VST newcomers
This search aims to catch stocks which have recently reached significant levels in their VST ratings. The original search looks for trends with the last two periods having VST <1.40 and VST > 1.40 respectively. This indicates the VST value has increased the 1.40 levels.

Stocks based on Top Industry
Overall Market -> Sector -> Industry -> Stock
- Use RT as a measure of top Industry
- Within the Industry, we still choose Stocks using VST as the measure.
- In Top Industry, most stocks should be performing well, ie more Buy Recommended.

How to use Industry Ranking
This is about finding stocks in Industry, where the Industry RT ranking is improving, ie Rank becomes better.
'Stocks Industry Group' = 'Top Delta Industries' -> 'Highest 10 by 10 Day RT Delta'
