  1. Careful on COGO this morning. Over 30,000 shares in block trade (of the current 64,857 shares as of this posting).

  2. I recall when you posted Candletrader's Secret Rules to Becoming a Gazillionaire Trader (in .gif format). :D Fundamentally, the Hershey rule set works in a very similar fashion.

    Good Trading to you.

  4. Entered COGO @ 15.50 Rule Breaker on this trade, as it did not fit into all of my cirteria.

    Foolishly broke my pre-market rule when I exited IIIN. Now I am paying the price.

    CLMS and CN don't cycle five times in six months for 20% gains over 6 to 8 days. The chartscripts do not calculate Dry Up Values for stocks unless they meet the 'cycling' parameters.

    I'm looking at the chart of ENER which has only cycled three times from what I see on the wealth-lab chart. Yet dry-up is still calculated. For VLO there are no dry up values. Why are DU values calculated for ENER? I have found this concept of dry up very useful for entering many stocks that I have an interest in, even large caps. Any possibility that you could supply it for all charts?

  6. I must have altered part of the code in the last update (or earlier) which allows for DU value calculations even when 5 cycles doesn't exist. Earlier versions of the chartscripts did not have this function. I may have changed the code (in response to a request) and simply, forgot that I did so. I apologize for the confusion. However, I do not know why ENER calculates, but VLO does not. My guess would be ENER does have a few runs of 20% or more in the last six months, but VLO does not (over 6 to 8 days). I'll look into it further when I have the time.

    Thanks for pointing it out.

  7. Yes, I agree my Brother... there are many ways to skin a cat... your way works fine, even though I never really understood Hershey... your interpretation of Hershey is pretty clear though...

    Unusual volume for TIE as of this posting is 0.51 Net change +$1.14 for today

    So I sold TIE in Profit.

    I was patient .. sold it very close to the high ..

    Indicators still look strong. It has been doing nicely overall ..so this means ..how much longer can the party last.. time for a divorce..

    Now ready to watch for the next train that will sooner or later be coming into the station.

    Regards to all..
