Using Cover Configuration Tables to Determine when it is Time to Cover a Position . . .

In Step #2 of the Tutorial, we discuss calculation and assembly of Stock Configurations. Stock Configurations are combinations of moving averages which help us articulate whether it is time to Buy, Sell, Short, or Cover an individual stock by illustrating where the stock is going in relation to where it has been (i.e., direction).

Each week, after we have determined the Market Stage and assembled the Stock Configurations for each stock in our Universe, we look for Cover Configurations among the Short positions in our portfolio. We do this by comparing the stock's configuration against the Cover Configurations shown in the table for the appropriate Market Stage. If a Short position in our portfolio has a matching Cover Configuration, we Cover our entire position in that stock.
