Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Trading Journal III

This is a good question on FTK. I am new to charts, but when I look at FTK there seem to be two possibilities. First, that it is nearing the end of its uptrend. Second, that it is about to breakthrough to some new highs. I suppose that a lot depends upon their earnings announcement on Thursday.

For some reason today I can't log in on WLab Site, so I can't publish the modified scan.

ATTENTION! Modified Scan: returns stocks in Dry Up Volume , even if their Rank is = None.
This way it can find stocks which don't have rank anymore but are still in the FU list because of their past performance or whatever is your reason to keep it in your FU list

I also added some custom columns , see if you find 'em useful (I use them to save a text file with LBDU, PEAK etc.)


Anyway here is the code

 

Thanks Mark, much appreciate your sharing this, will have a play with it later.

Well,
SIGM proved to be a bust. The volume completely died and the price stagnated. I sold off making .15 points.
However CMED and FTK went well today. I sold off FTK at the EOD, but held CMED.

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could update me on what the best way is to cull stocks out of the final universe. Thanks!

At the end of each month, remove any symbol without rank.

Anyone else in on Jade this morning?

Jamey

 

I missed out on Jade. I blame myself for not paying attention and then by the time I noticed, it was already up 15%.

I'm in ARGN and still holding into the conference call.

Sold FTK today when it got close to the 10% gain mark.

Sold SMSI 5 mins after the open for a 1.91% loss.

Sold BPHX near the close yesterday for a 10% gain.

 

No, I had a look at it because of the volume but for some undefinable reason I just didn't feel comfortable with it. Then when volume did hit the lower band the other indicators weren't in alignment, at least on my screen. Although I could have taken a punt based on the (strong) likelihood of it hitting FRV I went for ARGN instead. Made 8.3% on ARGN, got out. Feeling a bit risk-averse this week.

Anyway, looks like JADE should be doing well for you!

Yeah, I missed out on ARGN's initial spike. I am up a shade on it, and holding on to see if it will do anything else.

JADE was a bit of a risk for me, so I put a tight stop on it. The volume was just so high so early, and the projection of the lines on the Stochastic and MACD were indicating they would be headed twoards where they should be. Again, a risk, but it paid off today
