Overall Summary

This section should be used as a general guide and not as a substitute for detailed stock indicator information.
The Overall Summary section provides a summary of the bullish and bearish stock indicators along with a % bullish and % bearish summary rating.

The Overall Summary starts out with a 50/50% bullish/bearish rating (no bullish or bearish indicators). The bullish rating will increase above 50% as the bullish indicators grow (number and quality) in respect to the bearish indicators.

Rating	Information
Hold	Stocks that are currently in a rally or pullback mode which have approx. 50% of the indicators bullish and 50% bearish.
Mild to Very Strong Outperform	Mild outperform has indicators that are slightly bullish (ie. 60% bullish, 40% bearish) and are starting to favor long positions. Very strong outperform (ie. 90% bullish, 10% bearish) has a majority of bullish indicators with odds favoring long positions (but still need to verify good upside trade quality).
Mild to Very Strong Under perform	Mild under perform has indicators that are slightly bearish (ie. 40% bullish, 60% bearish) and starting to favor short positions. Very strong under perform (ie. 10% bullish, 90% bearish) has a majority of bearish indicators with odds favoring short positions.

Trade Quality can behave independent of the Overall Summary at times. The Trade Quality(reviewed elsewhere) depends on the stock trade's profit/loss ratio, target profit and potential.
For longs the combination of both good % bullish numbers AND good upside trade quality completes the full picture of a stocks potential.
Breakout stocks are an exception to the normal indicators which can indicate bearishness.
