The most accurate play in each family

Each family's play whose calls went the right way most often, tested on 351 stocks since 2005, and what it says about CEU now.

A call is right when the stock rose after an in call or fell after an out call. Trend plays are built to take many small losses for a few big wins, so their hit rates run lower; being right often isn't the same as making the most money. How we test a play.

Each candle is one trading day: the box spans the open and close, the thin line the day's high and low. Hollow boxes closed up, filled boxes closed down. Toggle the averages to see the trend the plays read. Dots above the candles mark news and company filings: hover or tap one to see the story and how the stock moved from the last close before it, against the market on the same days.

What moved CEU lately

Its biggest move against the S&P/TSX in the last 30 sessions, the news read on each, and how reliably that kind of news has moved stocks before. How it's measured

Mon Sep 14−5.1% against the S&P/TSX2.2× a normal day

CEU −5.1%, the S&P/TSX +0.0% that session; −5.8% against the S&P/TSX over five sessions.

No earnings report, rating change, 8-K filing or news story on CEU was found for this session. Be The Puck's headline archive for CEU starts Oct 2, so news stories from that day aren't in it. The S&P/TSX moved +0.0%. The 58 other Energy & power stocks Be The Puck covers moved −0.5% on average, so most of the move was its own.

A crash marks every stock down; debt decides which companies come through. The storm test scores both halves: how hard the stock swings with the market, and how much debt it carries into a downturn. It describes fragility; it does not predict a crash.
