Honda, I have ( and still use ) MetaStock EOD, OmniTrader EOD, TradePropsector and Bigeasyinvestor ( the latter primarily as a source for inexpensive eod data for use with MetaStock and fundamental / chartpattern screening screening ). Whether a program is good or bad for a user depends...

Hi Lancer, Yes indeed, I forgot, that OT RT version is capable of doing this. I still use OT 4.0 sometimes, but only on EOD data. However, it does not really draw Retracementlevels on the chart and you have no possibility to set drawing of ST, MT and LT trendlines to custom periods. OT...

praetorian2 - you're certainly not naive. In case you use a broker like IB , you don't get ( and don't have to pay for )any fancy things like RT III or CyberTrader. You get RT quotes from IB and a quite fast Order-entry system Called TraderWorkstation ( + low comissions on stocks, options &...

praetorian2 just found out, that I cannot send attachments with the ET e-mail function. If you like, you can send me your e-mail adress. Mine is tradeshark@online.de http://www.tradeshark.de

Praetorian2 indeed, it looks very interesting. Hope you had a chance to have a look at the charts I posted yesterday. Thought you wanted to catch those stocks at the first confirmed sign of their uptrend after having hit the bottom. If you have any additional ideas on the subject, let...

In Qcharts & Ravenquote you can draw so called extended lines ( i.e. S&R lines,Retracements, trendlines ) on RT charts. Both programs extend these lines automatically until you remove them again. In RavenQuote, you can use automatic drawing of Retracements and projections, Prev. High, Low...

Changes of close as of today for the stocks mentioned above vs. yesterday : TMPW + 3.24% BCRX - 2.97% CSTR + 3.27% HQH + 1.88% LCRY + 0.65% SRCL - 4.73% Let's see, how these patterns work out further down the road - say until end of next week. Have a nice weekend

Hi Sterling, I'll check the latest scans for JC's setups and will post them on the other board. WOW : Well you see, everyone has a different tradingstyle. I don't need 40 indicators - I need only 2 or 3 which are working ( at least most of the time ). Of course, you can plot a lot of...

Guess I'll take some of these trades tomorrow !

praetorian, I used following scan in BE : Enfuego = red 30 day price change > - 50% Days range > Average daily range Closing price > opening price Closing price > prev. day close Average Volume 1 month > average volume 6 month Volume change ( last day ) > 100% I came up with 19...

Sterling - which features of WOW do you mean not to be found in Qcharts ? I used both and decided to stay with Qcharts - due to userfriendliness of the application and wealth of features not offered by many other applications. Data-problems : Well I tried eSignal, WOW, Quicken, NAQ, you...

WarEagle, thanks a lot for your input. Will have a look at this book.

Praetorian I could imagine to use following scans with bigeasyinvestor ( EOD data ) to detect the bottom of such a move : 1. Last >= -50% of price 30 days ago 2. Prev = 52 week low ( optional ) 3. Close > Open ( this would refer to the last day of data ) 4. Average volume 6 months ...

Hello Robert, I follow your posts with very much interest. I have also read Van Tharps book and I can nothing but agree with many of the statements and ideas in this book. However, with regard to risk and expectancy in trading, I'd like to propose adding another dimension. I don't want to...

Hi Finn, see my comments above. Good Luck

Sterling, here the scan results ( done with MetaStock ) for some JC strategies as of today ( 01/05/01 ) All Buy signals. Please be informed, that I scan only about 500 Stocks & Indices - not nec. the S&P 500 Stocks. I don't follow thinly traded stocks, like JC does ( i.e sometimes less...

Hi Sterling, Yes, I did. I'd say, they aren't any better or worse than other, so called "promising" patterns. I made money on about 60% of those trades. Which is not any better than my ususal average. A good thing is clearly : You make your screening on EOD Data and have your list ready...

Hi all signed up for the trial as well. One can never learn enough. D. Zanger is for sure a great trader. Otherwise, how would he have made such a fortune in the markets. However, for a paid service, his website / subscription-service lacks some substantial ingredients IMHO. Research...

JC screening formulars : Michael, if you have MetaStock, you may find this link very useful : http://203.31.125.5/guppy/gup153.htm Please keep in mind, that JC likes to use rather illiquid stocks for most of his screen-setups ( i.e avg. vol < 400K shares / day ). So you may...

Hello Ed, no experience with option assigments @IB - I cover my positions in options early enough before assignment can happen. IB doesn't currently offer mutual funds trading. But with all these Index-shares, Holders's and iShares out there, I guess one could build his own mutual fund...
