Okay let's try hard to get the basic rules to work first. It will be worth it for a while to ignore all the nuances from your past and just keep it very simple. But soon you will be able to go over to the 5,2,3. The news stuff in particular has to be disregarded. The market knows before...

The 197 sectors that IBD uses can be done on excel quite nicely.

We have 17 tribes in AZ.

Stops and trading cycles are separate from each other. Stops are to protect you and trading is to make money. They are at two different places on a chart if you are using TA charting methods.

I need to wait on this for a while. If quacktrader does get back another humorous comment in a week or so we will know he has a headache or something. There is a color example of this floating around somewhere on one of the bulletin boards people keep of my stuff. Maybe you or someone can...

*** separate the two items: market and individual stocks. The rally attempt analysis is part of M of CANSLIM.

the scoring is for individual stocks. The rally attempt analysis applies to market trends. You can use it on the major indexes. The indexes so have trends that are of various lengths but the RAA is generally used to determine the state of the long term trend.

dawg the time between the fast peaking line and the xover rapid convergence means the histogram is collapsing fast to zero. With this going on you can count on it diverging well after the xoover as the next part of the sequence. We are looking for the widest angle between the fast and slow...

Look at the compound interest formula. What is the most important variable for appreciating capital? Time is. You cannot spend one minute not making money. Being in a loosing trade is a mistake. You made a mistake. You must save and use time. If you are wasting time; stop it...

Does anyone know why this mistaken conclusion was drawn??

Try this and you might get the picture. Don't worry that you don't get it yet. This stuff requires a mind that is working. Draw a sawtooth chart for several teeth. number it as follows: It may take a few tries for you. At the trough (bottom of tooth) put numbers on each side close...

Okay play ball. Here is where we build edges for each and everyone based on their NLP pictures. Tampa be an ice berg and move over to the 5, 2, 3. You can skip to intermediate right now cause i need to soup up your ROI to get you to lead a little here. If you see the open on aq gap...

LOL. Actually I am neutral biased. I sholdn't be I know because the ratio of long to short is 27 to 8 (two cubes) in time. You are long biased and choose that for whatever reasons. For fun when I was young I traded around the IBM Board Economic committee meeting. IBM gave me stock...

You found out that MA's give you a max of 50% of the profit potential and you found out how to use something with them that gives you 100% of the potential. That was fun wasn't it?

Did you see how long an MA has to be to become (S+R)/2? this is getting great. what would happen if you did a histogram of the difference between two particular MA's? How about the one thats and answer to the Q above and the one that is ujust perfect for crossing over it at the max...

Use (S+R)/2 for this series. waht value of MA do you use to get a nice signal where the MA breaks up through (S+R)/2 for the cycle max (the sell in point for longs and the buy point for shorts) and breaks down through S+R/2 as the signal for the cycle min ( the buy point for longs and the...

If you had a nice price chart cycling along in a S/R situation. How long is the MA that looks alomost like the center line axis of the cycle compared to the length of the cycle? Does it look like using the crossover for an entry gets you a max of 50% of each long or short trade? What...

***Backtesting is a strange mythical thing. I can explain why but it is self evident after a while. It is best to just get to that place by the route you choose. Making money is a very stimulating process and the focus gets to KISS when you are an expert. When we get to market limitations...

It is very useful to process stuff thoroughly and get the bits and pieces to sort of fit into what you do. Once you have written out your approach. (like the person put it into C language, then you can see the way add ons will work.
