Will somebody thats good with gaussians look at this chart of CHDX and tell me what you think of my gaussians, specifically the recent btb? If you see it differently, please post your chart.

I found an example while doing a search that would be a good reference for the intermediate/advanced levels of PVT. Unfortunately, when reading it the first time back in 11/11, my skill level was still only at the natural cycle level. Its funny how reading the old stuff again with new knowledge/experience sheds light on stuff that i had read before. Hope you guys find this useful..... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1262368&highlight=trend+lines#post1262368
Here are a few stocks that may break out...still learning so mistakes are expected. GAIA, GIGM, CROX.....any thoughts?
The prior stocks did not turn out as well as I was hoping. I will have to post my channels for those stocks to see if they are drawn in correctly. On a seperate style, I had EXLS as a buy yesterday for a possible natural cycle lift off.
BONT was a great guy today obviously based on a number of things(channels, bruno R) except that volume on the beginner level which I currently trade gave no signal using any method LBDU, ADU, or Unusual Volume. Am I correct in this?? Want to check my numbers?? Volume has been not showing uop in many good trades I have seen. Is there a way to catch trades like these beyond using the morning volume indicators as focal indicators??
I have also noticed a lack of volume in the universe stocks lately. I was hoping that the vol will pick up after labor day. Attached is a link that Jack has posted regarding begining to mechanize the equities. The sequence is the 5,2,3 fast line xrossing the 50% level, then adding this stock to the hotlist, and entering based on FRV. It seems that this trade on the daily time frame would fit that description well. I know you mentioned looking beyond the morning vol indicators but i think it is a very important part of the PVT method. If others can explain otherwise, I am all ears. I guess the bottom line for me is that all the stocks in our universe mooooooooove a lot intraday. If these stocks move a lot relative to the market, then the price movement can also be traded and captured, the question is how......
I'm also finding my shorts have been losing me money. I tried to come up with a WealthLab ChartScript to scan for (5) 20% drops. Unfortunately, my coding skill is nonexistent. But I did take a FORTRAN class N years ago in JC Anyways, I tried to reverse engineer Spider's Hershey Equities Rank SCAN v. 1.0.0 ChartScript. Here is the best I could come up with.... var mo1, mo2, mo3, mo4, mo5, RETRACE, F, COUNT, LASTHIGHBAR, BAR, X, CYCLELENGTH, DAYS, DAYS1, DAYS2, DAYS3, DAYS4, DAYS5, RankSignal : integer; var N, PV, DU, DU1, DU2, DU3, DU4, DU5, LOSS, LOSS1, LOSS2, LOSS3, LOSS4, LOSS5, AVERAGELOSS : float; mo1:=BARCOUNT() -1 ; mo2:=BARCOUNT() -21 ; mo3:=BARCOUNT() -41 ; mo4:=BARCOUNT() -61 ; mo5:=BARCOUNT() -81 ; RETRACE := 1; F:=40;COUNT:=0;LASTHIGHBAR :=1000000; FOR BAR:= BARCOUNT() -1 DOWNTO BARCOUNT()-127 do BEGIN IF LASTHIGHBAR > BAR THEN BAR:= LASTHIGHBAR ; X:= TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ; N:= HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, 5) - TROUGH(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ; IF N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, 5) >= 0.20 THEN CYCLELENGTH:= 5 ELSE BEGIN X:= TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ; N:= HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, 6) - TROUGH(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ; IF N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HGIH, 6) >= 0.20 THEN CYCLELENGTH:= 6 ELSE BEGIN X:= TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ; N:= HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, 7) - TROUGH(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ; IF N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, 7) >= 0.20 THEN CYCLELENGTH:= 7; END; END; IF N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH) >= 0.20 THEN BEGIN DAYS:= TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) - HIGHESTBAR(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH)+1 ; IF PRICECLOSE(TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ) > PRICECLOSE(TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE)-1 ) THEN PV:= VOLUME(TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE)-1 ) ELSE PV:= VOLUME(TROUGHBAR(BAR, #LOW, RETRACE) ) ; F:=F+10; LASTHIGHBAR:=HIGHESTBAR(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH)-1 ; COUNT:= COUNT+1; IF COUNT=1 THEN BEGIN LOSS1:=N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH) ;DAYS1:=DAYS;DU1:=LOWEST(mo1, #VOLUME, 20); END; IF COUNT=2 THEN BEGIN LOSS2:=N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH) ;DAYS2:=DAYS;DU2:=LOWEST(mo2, #VOLUME, 20); END; IF COUNT=3 THEN BEGIN LOSS3:=N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH) ;DAYS3:=DAYS;DU3:=LOWEST(mo3, #VOLUME, 20); END; IF COUNT=4 THEN BEGIN LOSS4:=N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH) ;DAYS4:=DAYS;DU4:=LOWEST(mo4, #VOLUME, 20); END; IF COUNT=5 THEN BEGIN LOSS5:=N/HIGHEST(X-1, #HIGH, CYCLELENGTH) ;DAYS5:=DAYS;DU5:=LOWEST(mo5, #VOLUME, 20); AVERAGELOSS:= (LOSS1+LOSS2+LOSS3+LOSS4+LOSS5)/5 ; END; END; END; RankSignal:=CreateSeries(); for Bar := 1 to BarCount - 1 do begin if AVERAGELOSS > 0 then SetSeriesValue( Bar, RankSignal, 1 ); end; for Bar := barcount-5 to BarCount - 1 do begin EnableTradeNotes( false, false, false ); if not LastPositionActive then begin if GetSeriesValue( Bar, RankSignal ) > 0 then SellAtMarket( Bar+1,'Rank: '+ FormatFloat( '0.00', 100*((AVERAGELOSS)/((DAYS1+DAYS2+DAYS3+DAYS4+DAYS5)/5)) )); BuyAtClose(Bar+1, LastPosition, 'Rank Detected' ); end; end; I don't know what I did wrong. It doesn't seem like working. I hope some ChartSript experts could help me here. BTW, this is my first post on Spiderâs journal. Here I want to thank Spider for the great journals and everyone who contributed.
