    alphastocks - i am wondering if your fundamental indicator(s) are mechanical (i.e. some sort of a formula / combination of fundamental inputs) or do you actually have to "manually" sift through 10Ks, financial statements, etc. to do your screening?

    thanks, and best of luck with your trades.

  5. It is a computer filter that produces a narrow selection of stocks based various fundamental data. I then use a combination of technicals and speculation to decide on which ones to pull the trigger on. The following link describes it better http://www.alphastocks.com/research.html

    Interesting Alpha. The longs are doing well but the shorts you just started seem to be taking a hit.

  8. If you call being down 1.6% on the portfolio 'a hit' you have no business being in the stock market. Not saying that to be mean, just a warning that if that little loss worries you a stock strategy might not be right for your risk tolerance. Expect much larger swings than that in any stock strategy, including this one.

    In order to make money in the market you must learn to ignore short term swings and focus on your net return over a minimum of 6-12 months. Just a little wake up call.
