This alert of type 6 (62815114909) issued for CPRT yesterday (7/12) at 2:45pm with the price at $35.7. Let's examine the chart at that time. The Mid Pink oscillator is in an upswing so is the Black oscillator as can be seen in the top left chart. We can see that the Pink oscillator had an amplitude of 1% in the recent past. So when its components (mid A and mid B) match up, it can be quite dominant.The fast oscillators on the top right chart are also moving up.

From the bottom right chart, we can see that the Blue and Red oscillators are moving down, but the gray residue that is consistent in its swings has gone below the lower bounds. We can also see that the Black oscillator has just had a crossing point with the Blue. Now look at the 4-day trend indicating DTI line in yellow. It is strongly upwards. In the bottom left chart, we can see how the Daily Model in golden yellow is still in an upward trend. When the indications from Daily Model and DTI line are very clear like that, we may avoid consulting the end-of-day charts.
Considering these factors, this is a safe short term buy. Note from the last two digits of the alert that average trade duration for this strategy on CPRT has been 0.9 trading days over the past 49 trades. The average profit is 1.1%

Now consider the exit alert that was delivered at 10:45 am on 7/13. We can see that the Mid Pink in the top left chart has regained its dominance. The closing price for this trade suggested by the alert is $36.25 (as seen on the title of the bottom right panel), so a profit of 1.5% for being in the market 2.5 hours! Our ticker table was predominantly green yesterday, so today's upswing of the market at open produced profits for several "green" alerts like GTI, CAT etc. Since earnings season has commenced, its good to make sure that alerts we are taking don't have earnings report due within the possible trade duration.
