All the volatility in the stock market is crazy. Even though the indexes show big moves up or down their are individual stocks that trade according to their own trading patterns.
How do you find the stocks that are still rising (going against the stream) even when the market (indexes are tanking)?
Use the signals from trading indicators. Some common ones are OBV, MACD, relative strength indicators, EMA, etc. Do you know all of the formulas and algorithms to calculate them? Do you know which ones confirm or conflict with each other?

It combines, congeals, and ranks the results of multiple trading indicators and puts together hourly watch lists that give a good indication of when the price of a stock will rise during the trading day for short-term gains (sometimes called day trading). This is not a set it and forget it method of trading stocks. But by paying attention to the trading patterns of the stocks identified on the watch lists short-term gains can be made even on days when the stock market (or indexes) are moving down.
The market is crazy but it does give returns to those who can identify and decipher individual stocks that are more sane.
