Trade for tomorrow is to buy OMCL

I went ahead and opened the OXPS position just now at $24.60

yuri, Glad the trade worked out for you. Today I have 2 stocks that have appeared in my screen. OXPS and IAG. Something just doesn't feel right about these 2. Normally I would just ignore these 2 stocks completely when it doesn't feel right. However, its been a few days since I have...

newguy, What you are describing is something I've seen in all of my automated systems. I have yet to find a truly good answer to it.

I do not have a "set" method on screening the stocks. Generally most DAYS no stocks even show up in my initial screen. Especially on days the market went up. However, when stocks do show up I normally have 10 or more that fit the description of what i'm looking for. Since these are normally on...

I have closed out the PBG position for $35.23 Which represents a gain of: +5.6% Total Gain Since Starting Journal: +21.21% Return on Trading Equity so far: +5.3% Still holding HSIC

Also, is anyone actually reading this journal? It helps me to write it out on here and stay to my game plan and such.. but just wondering if anyone else is finding any use out of it or reading it?

No new signals for tomorrow. Neither stock today closed above the high yesterday so they are not SET to be closed. However they both came within pennies of closing above yesterdays high, so depending on market action with the bad goog earnings and such there is a chance I may go ahead and close...

Opened position in PBG at: $33.34 Opened position in HSIC at : $56.75 Both are set to be closed in 5 trading days: Feb 7th

Been a few days but finally have some stocks to enter for tomorrow... PBG HSIC

No signals for tomorrow. Its been a few days now since I've had a signal.... Mostly due to most stocks being so oversold that they bounced a little which doesn't generate a signal.

Sold EV for 36.15 Loss -1.98% Sold MCD for 53.84 Gain +2.5% I do not have any more open positions at this time. Total Gain Since Starting Journal: +15.61% Return on Trading Equity so far: +3.9%

Haha, very nice. Why didn't I think of that? But in all seriousness I do agree with you that if it can be traded by hand it can be automated. That is something I didn't believe just a few years ago. However one caveat is, it MUST actually be a strategy..Impossible to automate random buy sells...

EV and MCD both closed above yesterdays high today which means they both will be closed out tomorrow morning... Total Gain for closed positions: =+15.09% Since I put a cap to where I can only have 4 open positions at any time, that means the return on trading equity is: 15.09/4= +3.77%

GPS was not suppose to be closed until tomorrow at the open.. but it being such a shaky market and having a nice gain, I went ahead and locked in the gain. Under normal circumstances I would like to follow my strategy all the way, but in this volatile market I rather protect the gain that risk...

I had overlooked the fact that the markets were closed Monday. Therefore, today is the day to close out DSX based on the rules. Due to the gap down this morning I didn't close at open. I closed a few minutes ago at the price of: 22.63 I had several changes to get a much better price on DSX...

Why is everyone freaking out about the dow futures being down 500 pts? The shorts are all gloating.... If I were the shorts, I wouldn't be so excited... I have been waiting for a big down day like this for a while, i'm hoping we see 1000 pts down on tuesday... bigger the better.. it will be the...

All conditions, long entry, long exit, short entry, and short exit, each have 4 unique parameters involved in making the decision. Two of the parameters for each decision are for length. How many bar periods to use in calculating my indicator. And 2 parameters are the values used in...

Here is the PL chart for how it performed AFTER that last one ended. As you can see its not doing very well in this STRONGLY bearish market... however, for a strategy that performs so well in an upward market, it is holding up fairly well in such negative conditions.... mostly just treading...
