As can be seen below, many long thrust alerts produced small losses by the end of the day.
It is therefore natural to question the utility of the thrusts.

A trust alert is not something that tells you "buy now". It is something that tells "Money is moving in the stock at a faster pace than it was the case for the past 10 days." Hence, you should have a look.
When a thrust alert is issued, the stock price has already moved up. Therefore, it is ill-advised to buy that move, but it is much better to buy a pull-back if that pull back occurs without large players selling.
Below are two examples of Thrust alerts issued at about 10:30
We can see that AVP is not a good buy candidate, because the Thrust is not supported by large players.

However, EL is a good candidate and could have been bought on a pull-back to support, because large players were not selling (If I had bought, I am sure that I would have been "tweeted" out of the position at noon.)
