Your question is like asking: "Of all the stocks that appear on the 'Near 52 Week High' TAL chain, what percent break the 52-week high and score big and what percent don't?" Breaking the 52 week high can be measured, but "score big" cannot because your version of big might not be my version...

Hottrends does something like that. Doesn't seem that complicated. Dave

Believe me, the scans all work to perfection. That doesn't mean the pattern will work when you find it. I use Oz scans every day. The scans themselves WORK because they find what they are supposed to find based on the scan criteria. However, you still need to use discretion for your trades...

Anyone know what "1st RIC" "2nd RIC" "3rd" etc means in this minder? Dave

You can read about this (including the FAX history) -- and just about every other Internet scam, chain letter, urban legend, virus hoax and rumor in existence, at this site: http://www.snopes.com Quite interesting reading. Your head will explode if you read everything, though. Search on...

Well then, bung, feel free to post them here for everyone if you think it's such a non-issue. You might want to wait for Tony to chime in on the subject. He couldn't even include the scan formulas in his latest book, which was published by a different publisher than the first books...

AA: I'm not an attorney (thank God), but I just wanted to point it out because I had seen it in the book. Maybe Tony can comment when he sees this thread. Dave PS. Most of the attorneys I know have told me would love to hang it up and become a trader. In fact, I am going to start...

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but Tony's scans are copyrighted. This from his book "How to Take Money From Wall Street": "The basic formulas for the scans used in the following chapters were published in the books 'Stock Trading Wizard' and 'The Stock Trader.' Due to copyright laws we...

Here, here! This is critical. Right now I am doing this on a piece of paper, fer cryin out loud. It is really annoying in this computer age to have to write down "XYZ 398k shrs $32.45 @ 10:20 est" and then have to use it for a reference the rest of the day when a stock appears, disappears...

OK, OK, I have a hard time remembering my name so I created my login as a hint... Dave Alexander

Thanks, neo

My grandpa is looking for a free place to scan for a couple specific things: Stocks above $75 with a MACD above 50 and at least a 10% increase in price over the last two months. He formerly used BigEasy, but stopped when they started charging $40 a month. Anyone know where he can get this on the...

I don't use IB, but I am considering it specifically because of OCA orders. I have a question that IB's documentation does not cover, so this is addressed to IB OCA gurus: Can I group more than one order -- specifically a stop loss order AND a series of profit-taking orders -- within an OCA...

Check this out... Datek Pays $6.3 Million to Settle Securities Charges By DAVID BARBOZA January 25, 2002 New York Times Datek Online Holdings, a big online brokerage firm, has agreed to pay $6.3 million to settle federal charges that its former day trading unit engaged in...

You don't actually need to use it in the web browser. You can pull it up on a chain and drop it into a minder and it will list the symbols and update faster than the web browser version. Also, you can sort the minder by volume, price, change from open, or whatever, to filter out penny stocks or...

Can anyone shed some light on why there are extreme ARCA bids and asks on some stocks? For example, FDX closed at 49.99 today. There is an ARCA bid for 100 shares at .01 and an ARCA offer of 100 shares for $99.84. I see this on a huge number of stocks. It appears the offer is always double...

Let me post something I also posted on SI when someone joked that with all the delays, SuperSOES is probably just a myth. Unfortunately, I think it will actually arrive, but will be accepted like the Edsel. http://europe.cnn.com/US/9708/11/edsel.anniversary/ Why was the Edsel a flop...
