# 🚀 Scan Sessions: Master the "Railroad Tracks" Trend-Filtering Strategy in MetaStock
Welcome back to the forum! In this live scan session, we dive deep into the **Railroad Tracks Strategy**—a powerful pre-filtering approach designed to isolate stocks in strong, pervasive trends before looking for high-probability buy signals.
We cover the exact mechanics of setting up Bullish and Bearish Railroad Tracks using MetaStock, analyzing moving average alignments, and pairing them with **Steve Bigelow’s top-ranked candlestick patterns** (like the Doji Sandwich and Kicker) to refine your entry and exit strategies.

### 📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
* **What Are Railroad Tracks?** Learn how to identify pervasive trends using parallel moving average alignment (8 EMA / T-Line, 20 SMA, 50 SMA, and 200 SMA).
* **Bullish vs. Bearish Setup:**
* *Bullish Tracks:* 8 EMA above 20 SMA above 50 SMA above 200 SMA (aiming for a 30 to 45 degree slope angle).
* *Bearish Tracks:* 8 EMA below 20 SMA below 50 SMA below 200 SMA (for shorting opportunities).
* **MetaStock Exploration Setup:** How to run the custom scan across 5,000+ optionable stocks/ETFs, interpret "Bars In" counts, and measure trend slope.
* **Combining Trends with Candlesticks:** How to overlay Steve Bigelow's candlestick patterns (Doji Sandwich, Kickers, Fry Pan Bottoms) on trend-filtered stocks.
* **Risk Management & Exit Rules:** Why a close below the 8 EMA (T-Line) serves as a disciplined, objective stop-loss.
