Ross/Clym, I've never had much success with channels as the ones I draw don't match the ones drawn by others. Is there a way to do this that has objective methods? Doug

Is anyone ever truly satisified with any software app? I've been using their products since 1988 and I'm "used" to them and to the quirks and bugs the software has. What basic issues are you having trouble with? Have you tried to get answers at TradestationWorld forums? I've found the...

What is the rationale for using Kelly as I thought it was for Bernoulli distributions only, not the typical distributions you get in trading? DS

I had VPHMt at 87% of FRV about 5 minutes before the close, but as I mentioned earlier, my setup was understating volume. If it had been 95%+ at that point, I would have assumed it would reach FRV due to the volume rush at the close and aftermarket trading. Do you consider volume in the...

My Tradestation RadarScreen indicator showed it almost reach FRV near the close. After trying to determine why you had it exceeding FRV and I did not, I looked at my indicator and it had a setup error that caused it to be "close" to the actual volume. I've have since corrected this...

Kind of a mixed day for me: I bought DCAI at 10.78 and sold at 10.72 for a small loss. I was tempted to hold half as the action near the close looked good to me. I bought VPHM this morning and sold near the close for a small gain, as I did not see it reaching FRV NGPS was a wash...

Closed half my PETS position for a 5% gain. Today's buys: DCAI at 10.78 VPHM at 19.90 NGPS at 30.30 Doug

Agree with your list; and I have, for fun, DXPE and IPII that both fall short of the float and V65 requirements. Doug

I bought PETS at 9:50AM CST at 14.13; I showed it meeting all requirements. I agree with Spyder that volume looks like it will exceed FRV today. Nice to see that this method works even when the overall market is enjoying a nice down day. Doug ps to Spyder: enjoy the beaches and forget...

Agree. Doug

Took a day off today; and it looks like it was a no hitter for JH trades. And, I had a irrelevent thought: Are followers of this Journal Arachnophiles? Doug

My list for Weds: DCAI KNDL NFLX I'll also watch RATE even though its V65 is a little below the 200k system guideline at 181k. RATE also interests me as it has a SIR of 32% so I included it based on that parameter and my desire to see if stocks that meet the JH guidelines and have a...

FWIW-I had KNDL NFLX and REDF on my list for today. Doug

REDF trade. I don't think I've ever seen the "tape" look like this, all trades above ask!! Doug

Guilty, I got in at 1013 am est at 1754 as it was at 82% of Low Band DUV and looked like it would easily make the volume target. :) :) :)

Agree, that is what got the buying started and then the "shorts" get real panicky when this happens and buy to cover and this adds to the buying making the move up even higher and faster. Doug

Marty, Thanks again for your java prog and planned upgrade. I use it almost daily. I selected 20% SIR as my definition of "high". The SIR I'm using is shares short / float. BTW-BOOM boomed yesterday and IMO one of the reasons it did so was it had a very high SIR of over 50%, the...

IN my experience and often times in history, what is obvious is often wrong claims: tulip mania, killing the cats of London in 1666, population exceeding food production, etc. Thanks for the cite. HOwever it was for the period when we were on the gold standard and that was scrapped if I...

andrasnm, I've heard that claim many times. Do you have any cites for research that demonstrates this? Maybe your econ instructor might know of some. TIA, DS

Agree on your adds to the FU. I'm showing the same stocks on my list for Monday plus I also have NGPS. A few of these have a high short interest ratio (SIR): shares short/float: BOOM 54% JMDT 31% ELOS 19% So far in my very limited amount and statistically meaningless testing of...
