TTD also presents Stocks To Sell or Sell Short. These issues are suitable for aggressive investors willing to take short positions both as trades or for longer-term plays. These stocks will do very well during bear markets or market pull backs.
TTD's Bearish breakdown stocks to sell short. These issues have potential to fall sharply. They often show a technical breakdown and also some fundamental business problem such as weak earnings.
TTD's multi-media updates include a slide-show that presents charts and analysis at midsession. Some times TTD presents feature analysis on stocks and the market. TTD uses Windows Media Files. (WMV).
TTD also presents a "Breakout Watch List" that is up dated daily. This list consists of key stocks in position to breakout. A close watch of this list can put you in the stock just as it breaks out. A good idea is to study the list and be ready to move into a stock quickly as it hits its breakpoint.
TTD often suggests using stop buy orders to enter. It is very important to buy a breakout stock as close as possible to the breakpoint. The idea is to get "elbow room" if the stock should follow through to the upside. This is very important in being successful in making big money with breakout stocks.
It is also essential to have a stop loss strategy for all stocks in which positions are taken. Not every stock will work as expected. It is important for investors to "police" their portfolios and avoid getting trapped in any bad positions.
Quality rating of breakout Two key factors: 1 - Stock near all-time high in price or near a 52-week high. 2 - earnings growth current year is strong. The ideal play is a stock with an Above Average Quality Rating. The stock is near a new high and will have strong earnings. TTD's other ratings are Average and Below Average.
TTD also has special feature sections on Educational Tips on Investing.

YRD, based in China, operates an online consumer finance service. Annual revenues: not available. YRD, a recent IPO stock from late last year, breaks out Wednesday from a three-month, cup-and-handle base. The move carries the stock to a new all-time high. That is bullish. 
TTD highlighted YRD as a breakout at our midsession video show on the Web Wednesday.
YRD is a speculative breakout, but one that is poised to show strong earnings. TTD sees that as the key driver that can send the stock higher.
So far today, YRD is trading 1.5 million shares, triple its average daily volume of 459,000 shares. 
YRD's 10-minute chart shows the stock breaking through key resistance in the morning.

YRD's long-term chart shows the stock coming public in late 2015 and trading at 10.
The stock edged a bit higher, but then turned south and fell to a low of 3.35 in 2016 due in part to the stock market's selloff earlier this year.

The breakout to a new high with expanding volume is bullish.
