The names I've chosen are highly filtered. They're in a confirmed uptrend using Mark Minervini's trend filter and they've reached a pivot point for breaking out as determined by Marketsmith. Among a host of strong fundamentals, they all have a relative strength of greater than 90 and equally...

How would VWAP help?

I can't believe how often I do this, typically around ten am. Looks like a breakout and suddenly I'm $400 underwater. My remedy, as yet untried, is to wait fifteen minutes before pulling the trigger. Shit hard to do. My trades yesterday: CPRX +$120 ADP + $104 ULTA - $8 PWR -$19 Minervini...

After a year of following Mark, I've begun to study his first book. He says his Trend Template and filters for earnings, sales and margin growth, relative strength and price volatility eliminate 95% of the names from his first pass screens. For the remaining names, he begins a close...

What have you found to be unreliable with TD's systems? I use TOS for day trading NQ futures and have found it to be strong on ad hoc analytics though sometimes delayed on prices with some minor glitches in P&L reporting.

Is access to TradeStation's webAPI for futures initiated from one of their websites, or can I get permissioned and started from the trading platform?,

Yeah, pay up!

I have super sperm.

1. for NQ, mostly no 2. midge-like window who do you blow to get an upvote?

Run two pots: buy and hold (two weeks max) and day trading. Look at the historical odds by time of day. Conquering the fact the most of the time we're scared shitless is half the battle. Okay, maybe Minervini isn't but I sure am. And he is too. And so is Zinger. I'd make almost double if I...

Change the analysis from 9:30 am to 7:30 am and I bet the disparity evens out. 9:30 doesn't reflect the opening; the market opens at 7:30 am when we make our way into the study while still in our pajamas.

ES and NQ usually tank until Monday early AM after the FOMC, even in good weather. Thurs & Fri down and Sunday & early Monday until someone somewhere pulls something out of their ass. The market's spooked anyway. What non-inverse ETF would you buy next week?

Does 8% seem like a tight stop to you? Tight stops is his mantra.

I like a lot of what I read in his books, it's smarter O'Neill, but it all breaks down if tights stops don't get you there. If he was out of the market for most of a decade, what does that tell about tight stops?

Still catching my breath.

Can the new article be shared?

Dan Zanger's chat room is seeded with a person who just had the best two weeks of his investing career now that he found Dan. Had to be a shill. Everyone chimed in and told him to focus on the discipline. Again, hard to keep a straight face.

Zangervini puff everything they can. If they had a compelling track record in the last five or ten years, we would be hearing from them about it.

I tracked all the new breakouts on Marketsmith for the last couple weeks. 0% return. I tracked all Dan Zanger's top candidates over the last six weeks: roughly in line with QQQ.

If he's teaching for $4000 a book you can read on your own, helping others may be a beautiful byproduct. These guys are pretty shameless about touting anything that shows them in a good light, so if their track record in recent years were attractive they would be touting that too. I'm not sure...
