    I hope you continue to post and answer a few of the questions.

    What will be your entry, specific price, open, etc.?

    What will be your exit, specific price or profit target, stop, etc.? How much heat will you take?

    Would you please give a little info on your selection process?

    Both of the selections look really interesting.

    Good Luck

  4. Okay, I will do my best to answer all questions on an ongoing basis and help those who are serious about making money in the markets.

    1. Account Size - I have a couple of accounts ranging from 70k to 500k.

    2. Holdings - I tried to upload my positions in the first post, I guess it didn't work, I will try again with a jpg.

    3. Day Trade - Nope, I hold all my positions for 20 days regardless (I bet that will raise some eyebrows).

    4. Day Job - Full time trader.

    5. Disc/Quant - It is mostly based on a systematic model with a discretionary element.

    6. Trade Open/Close - Depends on my short term view on the market, but most of the time I trade around the open.

    7. Rice Krispys or Capt Crunch - Neither, too much sugar for my trading day.

    8. Stops, Profits takes etc - Don't use em. Rather I only put 5% of my equity in each trade to minimize risk. I exit based on a 20 day holding period. This allows the stocks to swing around like stocks do.

  8. The core engine of this model is a fundamental filter. The discretionary element is where technical analysis comes in.
