2/9/2006 2:50:34 PM Dick, I think that both the "Close" and the "Lower Bollinger Band" must refer to the number of "days ago" that you're interested in. Jim |

2/9/2006 1:34:05 AM UNITED, SF is an end-of-day screening tool, so it would not be adaptable to your vision of entering a trade at 1000 or so and exiting at a later time that same day. IMO, this is a "market sense" trade, anyway, as opposed to a technical trade. I don't have it so I don't do it! I am impressed, though, by the frequency -- particularly with listed stocks where overnight pressures have not been accomodated in the pre-open trading -- with which the initial move reverses. I have no data to quantify this phenomenon. Jim |

2/2/2006 3:13:36 PM Hi, nikoschopen. . . Re: yr post of 2/2, 1222:46 My observations, over a considerable period, lead me to believe that the extremes of the day are put in in the first and last hours. It is my opinion that one never wants to be WITH the movement of the first hour; be against it or be on the sidelines, but don't be with it. I do NOT have data to support either of these statements. Keep an eye on things and see if your observations tend to agree with mine. Jim |

1/10/2006 10:16:28 AM RumpledOne, I did read that article and was struck by the author's epiphany about concentrating on setups rather than outcomes. . .this is where THIS trader is in development right now. My focus has evolved away from indicators to a large extent: I do print standard Bollinger Bands on all my charts; I do refer to Directional Movement for numerical definition of trend; and I do refer to RSI(2) -- thank you! -- as an overbought/oversold oscillator. My process begins, though, with the identification of a market truism -- for instance, "In an uptrending market, every new high will be tested and/or exceeded" -- and then employs an amalgam of patterns and indicators to define entry and exit points which permit me to take advantage of that underlying, repeating market characteristic. I do have two plays which are based on the statement above: one is a "buy the dips" play and one is a "continuation" play. Both are swing trades which result in (about) 65% winners with the individual winners producing (about) $2 in gains while the individual losers produce (about) $1 in losses. Jim |
