We love our bottoms-up scans here at All Star Charts. We tend to get really creative when making new universes as we want to be sure they will deliver us the best opportunities the market has to offer.

However, when it comes to our latest project, it couldn’t be any simpler!

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US stocks.

Welcome to The Junior Hall of Famers.

This scan is composed of the next 150 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 150 and are thus covered by the Hall of Famers universe. Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.

There is no need to overcomplicate things. Market cap is a quality filter at the end of the day. It only grows if the price is rising. That’s good enough for us.

The bottom line is it is a bull market. We...

That was a big day for the market yesterday, but it still felt slow or weak up until noon.

We have potential to see 455 on $SPY if we continue to hold 447.

The market tracked higher most of the day, with $SPY closing that 449.17 gap I mentioned this morning.

The market is rallying before the August PPI print at 8:30 a.m. ET. 

There's a gap on $SPY at 449.17 that could potentially get filled today.

We had a resting GTC order filled at our profit target in the Paid-to-Play portfolio today:

With the stock market trading sideways for the past two months, we're still finding pockets of strength and individual names that offer favorable risk-reward opportunities.

While we do want to be more selective through this corrective phase, we also don't want to miss anything. The bull market is still alive and well. This kind of sector rotation and digestion of gains is nothing out of the ordinary. While it plays its course, we want to continue to bet on leaders.

Let's dive in and check out some of our favorite setups from our Hot Corner universe this week.

What a wacky, whippy market.

We're stuck under resistance on $SPY at 447.14 or so.

We still have headwinds, with August PPI tomorrow and the Fed next week.

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

As many of you know, something we've been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach.

It's really been working for us!

One way we're doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point...
