Re; "Swing Trader" by IBD: I'm a full time "Day Trader" and I took a free trial about a month or so ago looking for a system that might complement my style. I dropped it after about 2 weeks because IBD' s Swing Trader system had more transactions on a daily basis that resulted in too many distractions to my main day trading activities.. It became hectic.
I'm not comfortable just trading/copying everything they did and felt it necessary to spend time examining each possible buy or sell trade that they did. For appropriate money management reasons, they buy and sell in 1/2 or third or full "units", each requiring attention. I'm not saying their system is good or bad. I'm just saying it wasn't for me..

TRO: You write, "Let's say the price opens BELOW the previous close and ABOVE the previous low." and you then give some suggestions/rules for what to do next. Thank you. They are excellent.
I would very much appreciate it if you might share any suggestions/rules/guidelines when, "Let's say the price opens ABOVE the previous close."?
Thank you ... Steve

Hopefully I'm wrong ... but, the backtest I ran for a two year period only shows that 69% of the stocks selected had highs at least 1% over the open. As you know, it may be difficult making a profit when only making 1% on 69% of the trades. I couldn't find any stop loss number that would make this filter profitable using StockFetcher's flawed one day holding period backtesting method. Holding more than 1 day failed miserably. I also was not successful adding and varying some criteria.
