[TTI] Stage 2 Signal & NetNewHighs vs NetNewLowsHISTORY AND CREDITS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Stage 2 is part of Mark Minervini's NON-NEGOTIABLE criteria. What does this mean? Well it means that Mark does not enter a trade that is not in Stage 2. Stage analysis is the work of Stan Weinstein who divides stock price movements in 4 stages (Stage1, Stage2, Stage3 and Stage4). Additionally, the second part of the indicator, NetNewHighs (NNH) vs NetNewLows (NNL), has been used by many traders, most recently I have seen Matt Caruso use it in his methodology.
