Today's 5 Top Large Caps

Today I used Barchart sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index to find the stocks that are having the best consistency in the last month.  I first sort to find the stocks that have gained in at least 50% of the last 20 trading sessions.  I skip over the ones that have not had positive gains in both the last week and month and those that do not have at least 80% technical buy indicators.  Lastly, I use the Flipchart feature to pan through the stock to review their charts.  By using both a statistical and visual screenings you eliminate quite a few stocks.

Today's list includes Roper Industries (ROP), Neilsen Holdings (NLSN), Netflix (NFLX), Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), and Monster Beverages (MNST):
