Hi Spy, I was just wondering if you are still taking out of the box trades for equities or focusing only on ES. For me, I find it very hard to monitor and concentrate on both. Anyway, If you are still taking stock trades, I was hoping you could post a few that you are in or have taken in the recent past. thanks.
Since I've headed off on this summer's 'working vacation' I haven't traded any stocks (just the ES). However, I do follow the steps to create a hot list each night and have that list in a Quotesheet for monitoring each morning, in case someone has questions. By example, I noticed none of today's 'Hotlist' (Dry Up posted above) stocks had enough Volume this morning to warrant a signal for entry (long or short). However, yesterday's EXM trade did hit the left trend line (actually broke through for a few pennies) today - indicating an exit signal for those individuals who trade from right trend line to left (dominant traverses). - Spydertrader
Hey Spyder, I am hoping you could critique my MTOX chart. The reason I posted this is because the equities charts on occasion throw me off when drawing gaussians because the volume bars don't always flow like the ES bars (more random to me at least). This is one of those charts (the highlighted area). It looks like a lateral formation, which means the retrace would likely continue. Having said that, I feel the two huge R2B gaussian peaks still casts a shadow and I think there is another R2B peak to come. Am I predicting here? I am not confident of my gaussians and anticipation on this chart. When this does come out of DU, does the gaussians influence the direction of your trade or do you just enter based on the day's price change? Regarding today's DU list, I got an alert for TASR, just wondering what did you have for DU volume? Thanks
I had a really long post set to go and accidently deleted it. Ugh! I'll work on recreating it later today if I have some more time. My apologies for the delay. - Spydertrader
I've proudly read Journal 1 and up to page 460 for Journal 2. I have read about the MSN deluxe screener. I used it tonight and generated nothing for my initial list which I think is odd. For the RS I used what the poster in Journal 1 used which is: (2*6-Month Relative Strength+12-Month Relative Strength+1.5*3-Month Relative Strength)/4.5 And for EPS I tried: 12 Month EPS Total Ops anyone know whether these are the right criteria? Still paper trading and finished my stocktables subscription.
Attached, please find the .IFF file used in the MSN Deluxe Screener. Log on to MSN (Make sure you have the Deluxe Version Running), upload the .IFF and run the scan. Everything should work as planned. - Spydertrader
I posted an excel spreadsheet that scans the entire market for the Hershey criteria a few weeks ago. You might find this tool usefull if you dont like the msn screener. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1547975#post1547975
