Of the days I didn't follow the hard stop rule..RATE is sitting on the RTL; looking to short if it breaks the RTL. Lost 2.3% so far. Still have PCCC and ATHR (looks like a short now)
Hi all, I am new to this board and also new to Jack Hershey's method. I spent all day reading Journal I and Journal II. Really interesting approach. I tried to follow the step-by-step guide in Journal I. And from the stocktable.com, my initial universe (eps 90/rs 80) came up with 93 stocks.

After filtering out by the float, I had 15 stocks left: ACOR ALXA ANAD BITS CHDX FTEK GHDX GMTC GROW MEH OMRI OMTR RICK SPAR UCTT Then I tried to run Hershey Equities Dry Up Volume Scan v. 1.0.0 on these 15 stocks to further narrow down the list. But no resutlts were generated. (I am supposed to run Hershey Equities Rank v. 3.0.0 on the dry up results). So now I am stucked. I am not sure whether this is expected or I did something wrong. Can anybody more experienced tell me how to cope with it. thanks, Frank
It looks like you're on the right track. The last scan, the one for DU, won't necessarily produce stocks to trade every single day. SOme days will have several candidates, some days none. btw- I'm glad you made such good progress, but Journals 1 & 2 are comprised of almost 2,000 pages I believe. It will take you several months to really absorb that material. There is much to be gleaned, I hope you enjoy the journey. EDIT: I just realized you may already be missing some important pieces. DId you also filter by average volume and positive EPS?
Thank you for your quick reply. I think that it would take a long time to really digest the information. I am just so excited and jump to the hands-on part.
Thank for your reminder. After the average volume and positive EPS filter, now I have 7 stocks. CHDX FTEK GROW MEH OMRI SPAR UCTT
Welcome to ET and to The Hershey Methodology. I wish you tremendous success as you begin your Journey. I encourage you to spend more time than a single day reading both Journals I & II. Building a strong foundation for success requires preparation. Failure to do the required work necessary to insure profitability guarantees failure. Those that have already travelled down the path on which you currently find yourself can tell you: No shortcuts exist. Good Trading to you. - Spydertrader
Spydertrader, I very well may have ELOS and TWLL in my special list of stocks that I've mentioned previously (346 so far), but in the event I don't, what led you to them. OMRI I understand. Also, would you be able to comment on my observations about the DU3 stocks for Monday 26 Feb 2007? DTLK GRRF IAAC MIKR RATE SIM XING http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1371762#post1371762 In particular my conclusion to focus on: IAAC and SIM followed by GRRF. I believe my DU3 list is correct. I'd like confirmation that my decision to focus on the above 3 is on the right track, i.e. would you focus on those 3 as well, if you had to choose from the DU3 list above? Thanks in advance! John
ELOS and TWLL may be providing an early warning a move a few days out. As such, I want to keep an eye on them in case they move early. I have those stocks in Dry Up. The order you have the three listed above look fine to me. I see it that way as well. I'd place RATE at the front of the line, but the order you have is fine as well. - Spydertrader
