Try profit targets.

Would you mind posting a link for this? I've seen them mentioned before and I've searched the site twice and haven't been able to find a word about them. Maybe I'm blind. Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Wayne

One of the mainstream approaches is to estimate all future cash flows and apply a discount factor to arrive at a current value. Estimating future cash flows is tricky to say the least and requires, to my mind, a fair amount of wild ass guessing. Using this approach, you would buy a...

It's been argued that a company that never pays a dividend IS worth $0. Take the example of a company that has huge profits, dominates their market, and continues to accumulate cash reserves for decades. Eventually the company goes bankrupt without ever paying dividends. Their remaining...

I agree with Bob. I spent a LOT of time looking for intraday data for Amibroker and concluded that the best solution was QCharts and QCollector. I didn't want to get involved with another platform either but it was pretty painless. QCollector support is very good about responding to...

BT, That happens to me sometimes, too. My fiancee wakes up around 3:00 or 4:00 every night then tosses and turns for a couple of hours, worrying about things. I really think meditation would help her disconnect from her anxious thinking, but I can't get her to try it. A lot of people just...

Kastro, There are countless varieties of meditation but here's a link to a basic meditation where you focus on your breath. This is the type I use most of the time. http://www.wildmind.org/meditation/mindfulness/index.html Wayne

Here are some suggestions you might want to try. I hope they help. For me, t's very important to have a wind-down period right before bed. When I go from the computer straight to bed I lie there wide awake with my mind racing. I take 15-30 minutes to relax and calm down. A hot bath or...

You're right, there is a trial. Didn't see that so I went ahead and bought it and am happy with it.

I agree: QCharts and QCollector. I spent a lot of time looking at the options recently and that's what I ended up going with. Not the best if you have deep pockets and demand impeccable data integrity, but a cost effective solution (I think). You could build a decent database using the...

Didn't save the link. Don't think it was anything that would help you. You can do another google search for "top stop". I guess Google site search doesn't always work.

I did a google search at the Trader Forum site for "top stop" and also "top" and "stop". I didn't find anything that looked like it was what you're looking for. Unless there's a hole in the google search, it looks like there's no such thing on the Trader Club Forum. I also did a general...

I haven't done that, but sure, you could vary the period based on any factor you choose. Before I do something like that, though, I like to have a rationale for why it might work. I like to think that helps guard against curve fitting. What do you see as the possible link between volume and...

I don't do automatic trading but I've coded candlesticks for backtesting. For defining a long body, it doesn't make sense to me to use an absolute value because you're ignoring differing volatilities. A "long" candle for one stock may be a relatively "short" candle for another stock. I...

If you read the examples I gave it would be pretty obvious that they had absolutely nothing to do with whether I did or did not select adjusted prices. I was trying to save you from wasting time using Yahoo data but if you're more concerned with tiny differences than huge errors, well then good...
