    total avg of trade +$2.20,+%12.45

    NB: peak volume was reached on the entry day, I choosed not to follow this rule and set a pretty wide trailing stop.
    Use it at your risk :p

    I picked up the book by William J. O'Neil 'How to make money in Stocks'. I can see the foundation for the Hershey method within the pages.
    It is a big help.

    NTRI in my list too.

    DCAI and SNHY , according to StckTbl 121205 are under Eps or RS thresold.

    Just for clarity, SpyderT are you keeping them in the list because of what you said here?:
    Over the years, experience has shown me that of all the culling parameters, cycling ranks as the most important. Once I profitably trade an equity, I only remove it from The Final Universe for Failure to Maintain Rank. The idea behind this Rule stems from "If I can profitably trade an equity once, then I can anticipate repeating the process with stocks that continue to cycle." I also noticed over time that I received numerous trade signals from stocks, which at one time, fell above the 80 -90 percentile rank for EPS and RS, but no longer held such high rankings. Many of these signals traded profitably as well. Therefore, I determined number of cycles (maintaining rank) to have far more importance than anything else.


    Or it's just a difference of data from your source?

    Thanks for your help

    I have DXPE with a float of 3,000,000 which is under the 5,000,000 minimum. Also, I have NURO listed with either 0 or -.01 EPS, depending on the source, which does not meet the positive EPS rule that Jack sets out....

    So I don't have DXPE or NURO on my list, but I do have NTRI....

    Other than that, my list matches Spyder's.....lol

  7. Once a stock makes it onto The Final Universe, I only remove it for Failure to Maintain Rank. Float, RS, EPS, or any other culling parameters, no longer apply. Prior to making it into The Final Universe, ALL culling parameters apply.

    long LIFC 20.20 (entered a bit in advance)
    long NTRI 43.27

    paper

    edit: to keep it real as much as possible, when I have the signal I always buy @ask, and look for ask size, if ask size is less than my trade size , I buy at the next level.

    Long LIFC $20.20 @10:45
    that is when I got the signal
    Long NTRI $43.70 @10:53. Wanted to wait for the spread to tighten a little.
