  1. Very impressive MN:) and you know that I have the contact sheets patented:D

    Excel is much easier, and requires very little knowledge of programming.

    I have about 50 mini charts per A3 page, so, that is 5 double sided sheets for the entire S&P 500, which, can be scanned with the B&E approach very quickly:cool:

    BTW, I have more than the AR contact sheets patented:D

  2. Hmmm, GK, you are starting to think correctly:)

    Up to now, we have just covered the basics, for, you will never win the race if you back a lame horse, so, first step is to get the odds on your side by backing horses that run faster than others:D

    So, now that we have our horses lined up, what next:confused:

    For beginners, this is a very good place to start.

    You are now nearly ready to start gambling, so, make sure you GWTF and avoid being sucked into a place where you should not be

    Beta = 0.79

    The index is assigned a beta of 1.0. A stock with a beta of 1.5 would be said to exhibit 50% more volatility than the index, meaning that it the index rises (or falls) 8%, the stock would be expected to rise (or fall) 12%. A stock with a beta of 0.8 would be 80% as volatile. One with a negative beta would be negatively correlated--it would be projected to "zig" when the market "zags."

    Liquidity Ratio = 922,456

    A measure of how much dollar trading volume is required to move a stock's price up or down by one percentage point. The ratio is calculated by adding the daily percentage changes of a stock's closing price for each trading day of the month. Absolute values are used — only the magnitude of change, and not the direction. Then the total dollar volume for the month is divided by this total-percentage-change figure.

    A high ratio indicates a stock that requires relatively heavy trading to move its price. A low liquidity ratio indicates a stock that moves on relatively light volume.

    So if the futures start to rollover to the downside you would short the leading stock or the laggard of the index/sector?

    Thanks Mysteron for your overview. I use Finviz as well as it is a great tool for filtering the fundamentals if I am looking for longer term prospects.

    Will take a look at Fastone to visualise the potential price movements rather than trawling through a long list of numbers.

    I would say it's HIG and beta is 3.25 (or 3.21 according to finviz)

    it's float short is 3% which tells me most holders are long so greater potential for an increase ?

    And it current vol relative to last 3 months is about the same so if volume starts increasing this could be due to such a high number of inst. holders

    OK I think I SEE now. WRB in to close at the end of a symmetrical triangle, strong buy if it starts to move up the following morning.

  9. Any way that makes you GOOD money:D

    No more clues are required, for, I have given away too much already, and, I have been told to cool down a bit:mad:

    From now I will sit back and watch, and add a little bit here and there.

    My last chart posting:mad:

    Hmm... so there are others lurking in the shadows:cool:

    There may not be much to watch though, as, many posts were a response to your posts :)

    Interesting chart, with trendlines. The sombre grey background reminds me of the office decor where I work, its meant to have a soothing effect!

    Thanks TE, don't go away completely now :D
