Four Sigma Trading picked this on March 27th when it had an unusually good move to the upside. Today's earnings propelled the stock up 88%. It seems the Four Sigma and Three Sigma systems are doing a good job of getting in on some stocks before good announcements. Four Sigma is up 27% so far this year and Three Sigma is up 26%.

The Trading Systems Wake Up From Their Winter Slumber

The Four Sigma and Three Sigma systems have been in hibernation.  Since the market has found its footing over the past few weeks, it has given the sigma values in many stocks the chance to rise. 

Last week, the system picked Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ:DNDN) that went from $6.65 to $17.99 for a nice 170% gain.  You don't see gains of this magnitude in this short period of time very often, but it is a great case of what I've been seeing when a stock begins to make a strong move only to be magnified in the near future while others pile in.  In the case of DNDN, it seemed to catch the early good news of the cancer vaccine before the news results were released.

Another stand-out is Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (NYSE:RT) that has had a nice 20% gain since the system picked it last week although earnings and revenues were lower, the outlook for the stock is improving.

Overall, so far this year, the Four Sigma system has an overall gain of 24% and the Three Sigma system has an overall gain of 37%.

Cantel Medical Continues to Show Strong Gains

The FourSigma System picked Cantel Medical (CMN) on December 12, 2008 at $12.86.  With their rise fueled by their positive earnings, the stock has put up an impressive 20% rise in that time.  CMN is going to meet some overhead resistance at around $18.00 which will be a key test before the next level in the low 20's.
