NothingTheory Trades

Discussion in 'Journals' started by nothingtheory, Aug 24, 2006.

  1. I had zero stocks returned from my screen for either long or short. BW was returned as a long under more relaxed volatility and volume parameters, but I won't be following it other than curiosity.

    I am still looking for ways to improve, but still keep things simple. I decided to implement a rule to determine the entry price. To reduce the chances that a stock is in a downtrend before buying, I'm going to set the entry price at 2 cents above the high of the previous period high on a 5 minute chart.

    With this rule, I would be faring a little better.

    OPEN:
    GISX@21.83 (met entry from yesterday)
    GVA@54.0 (met entry from yesterday)
    MDRX@21.12 (met entry from yesterday)
    DRIV@49.27
    QLTI@7.84

    CLOSED:
    FRED (+5.2%)
    WYNN (-1.0%)
    BA (-3.6%)
    CHIC -would not have been entered based on this 5 minute entry rule.
    NSS (-40%) -unfortunately this one still stays the same

  2. I think the NASDAQ is near a top with the lasts day's high near 2250.

  4. NASDAQ down 13 to 2222. Selling starting to intensify. I think good resistance is at 2230, and solid resistance is at 2250.

    SONS did not meet the entry price.

  5. Nice day for the longs with the NASDAQ up 31 closing at 2253. It hovered above 2250 most of the day. I am still taking the opinion that 2250 is a good level to short from.

    From yesterdays list,
    JCOM was shorted at 25.36.

    I lowered RMD stop to 40.62
     
    #25     Sep 20, 2006
  6. NASDAQ closed down 15 at 2238. I think it is important to close the week below the 2240 level to validate the scenario that a top is in place.

    I am having the worst results with my trading ideas. 3 ups (RMD, DRIV and FRED) vs. 8 downs (JCOM, GPRO, MDRX, GVA, QLTI, WYNN, BA, NSS). Fortunately my actual trading has not been quite so bad.

    So...I am going to work on some ideas this weekend and start from scratch (again) next week.

  7. Ok, I'm back testing some new parameters. But I won't get my hopes up this time.

    Nasdaq last closed at 2158. Still of the opinion this area is a top, although it has been stronger than I had anticipated.

  8. Nasdaq down to 2238. I think we have more downside.

    All stocks from yesterday met the entry parameters as follows:

    USNA @45.04
    BDK @79.48
    CEDC @23.62
    FAST @38.69
    LOW @28.22

    CLC did not meet entry requirements.
