Oh to have those x-ray goggles!:D Well done guys. great trades! Really good foresight.

In CMED also. The first long Beginner Spyder strategy for a while, on a day the the DOW is down 50. Not bad.:D

Strange. It must be the different providors somehow. I'm staying clear anyhow. Thanks all for the confirmation. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1218370"></img>

I'm showing DTLK as ablock trade of 32,100. Can anyone else confirm?

Yep, I'm in at $14.78. Lets go to the moon! :D

Well, last night represented a complete divorce from all process goals. I don’t know what I was thinking, other than I wanted some ‘action’, and that I may have been ‘envious’ with other stocks in the FU moving so well this week, with no profits under my belt. I acted using greed as my...

I appreciate the feedback foible. It gives me confidence to know that I am following the process. Excellent work closing out on the volume drying up.

I had 4 signals today to short: ANDE @ $32.76 STO: 0 MACD: -.8 MGPI @ $21.47 STO: 17 MACD: -.46 OMNI @ $6.86 STO: 6 MACD: -.12 TIE @ 23.74 STO: 19 MACD: -.37 Two positions worked out, and were sold at a profit before EOD: ANDE and TIE. The other two hit my stop loss, and were closed...

Once again you point out so well how reading the journal is important to develop one's understanding of the methodology. It's clear (to me now), that once is not enough. Thanks for replying so quickly Spyder, have a great weekend. Cheers!

Spyder, In looking at all of the prerequsistes around creating a FU, I have a question based on float. I know the existing setups work extremely well, to the point that further tweaking may not be necessary nor desirable. However I'll pose the question anyhow as it will help my own...

Whilst hunting about, I came upon SIM: Float: 21M Avg Vol: 319K EPS: 1.24 Price: $15.65 IBD EPS: 95 IBD RS: 99 Rank: 5 Score: 7 The only negative is that its listed on AMEX... :mad:

Thanks Spydertrader, your comments are very helpful. Using the "Eyballing" technique, I would be interested in your thoughts on one of the stocks that has been caught in the Dryup script for today: TIE. Looking at this chart, I would have to say that it clearly broke out of Dryup today. In...

Spydertrader, Although I entered a position in JOBS, I also noted that it was not technically in Dryup. We discussed this issue before with respect to using standard deviation to determine dryup, and how some stocks that may not actually meet dryup could be included within the scan. The...

I don't know the answer to your question directly - I use IB and QT. I will need to find out from IB, if no-one here has had this issue before. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1204410>

It appears that my exit on XING at $12.10 may have been too hasty, trying to lock in profits, rather than letting the opportunity run. My exit on XING was based around the protection of profits, rather than adherence to any existing rules around channels and resistance.

No, I missed the boat entirely. Sorry for your loss. I'd be interested in your thoughts about the block trade that my system registered on LMIA at 9:30 AM for 15,700. That kept me out of LMIA today.

Just learnt a pretty important lesson with EZPW, methinks. I decided the spread was too great when LBDU hit at $38.71. The spread was around 10 cents. Now its trading at $39.71. :mad: I'll be sure to be a little less concerned over the spread next time. I hope others have been...

Hi Steve, I get an ave vol of 167,203 from Yahoo. Where are you getting your vol figures from?

7Cal, LBDU is a derivation from Spydertraders work on DryUp. You can see from reading the journal that Spydertrader spent a great deal of time trying to derive a single measurement for DU, and came to the conclusion that there was none. LBDU is a standard deviation band that captures 95%...

I was confused initially with the time of LBDU until I got further through Journal II. I believe Spydertrader changed the LBDU from 11:30 AM Eastern Time to 10:30 AM Eastern Time in an attempt to reduce the number of False Breakout(FBO) trades. Check here for clarification. So, its...
