Thanks. A lot of volatile microcaps will seemingly skip S1 altogether and go, what looks like, directly from S4 into S2. One day the 30MA is decreasing with the PPS below it, and the next, the 30MA is abrubtly increasing with the PPS breaking above it. I assume those scenarios aren't likely "buy" candidates in your book. For how long, minimum, do you like to see a stock base before you'd consider entering it, assuming the indicators signal "buy"? 1 mo, 2mo, other? Nowadays, a full cycle of stages doesn't last as long as it used to.

One way I imagine that you could trade them would be if you had a very low fee trading account. Then you could do multiple partial entries and gradually build up to a full position size over a month or so.
