Hi Dan,
being someone who converted from a pure technical trader to
a "combination" trader, I can say with some confidence, that overall
changes in earnings revisions do have the most impact within a
reasonable timespan for a positiontrader.
One of the more profitable strategies have almost always been, to
look for long positions in stocks with upward changes in
earningsrevisions. Zacks provides a lot of info about this strategy
and provides even a daily ranking of stocks with regard to changes
in earningsrevisions.
These should then also be confirmed by a positive price / volume
reaction - not necessarily a breakout, but very often a quiet
increase in volume and price.
I don't want to start a discussion of what's better , TA or FA. I
believe, both have their validity and it's a trader's choice to use
the best from both worlds to his advantage.
Afterall, increasing your odds little by little is all you can do as
a private trader. For doing this, one needs to have the right tools.
regards
Stefan
