I used to fret over EPS. Which is more accurate YTD or TTM ? Personally, I find Morningstar number to be most concise as it is shown in the Income Statement. https://financials.morningstar.com/income-statement/is.html?t=0P000000GY&culture=en-US&ops=clear

Building is one thing and maintenance is another. In the US, infrastructures such as roads and bridges were built to last a good many years. Now, they are in need of major maintenance. In China, the mindless expansion is impressive. But are they built to last a good many years?

I would rephrase your question in this way. How long would I wait for the trend to develop before I get in? Knowing that 60% of the times, trend fail in its early stage.

My respond to these points.... 1. Select the type of trading style can help tremendously i.e. day trade, trend trade etc. As for trend trading, by just being patient and wait for the trend to develop is the key. Most trends suffer premature death. 2. Study the chart and this may take a long...

Don't big software projects are broken up into pieces? Each piece is updated when it's needed. Who write big software project in a single piece? Hunting down bug is a nightmare for one.

Quarterly earning reporting is fine. A company that has problem reporting on a quarterly basis will not make it easier reporting on semi annual or annual basis. It's all in the ERP system and just a few key strokes, the financial report of an entire corporation is generated. It all boil down to...

I assume the following. 1. Date,O,H,L,C,V EOD data is in Sheet1. 2. First row is for label. 3. Sort data from oldest to newest. 4. Output to Sheet2. Sub Scan() Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer Dim total_row As Integer, output_ptr As Integer ' Delete output in Sheet2 If...

Since it's daily data, the most flexible method will be using a charting software(e.g. Metastock, Amibroker etc) and download free data from Nasdaq or Yahoo Finance etc or paid data like eSignal. For charting software, some scripting knowledge may be required.

Learning of how to trade profitably is a long journey of self discovery. One has to step out of one's body and look from outside in i.e. truly knowing oneself. There are may ways but find the way that fits you is the key.

In the current world, information is instantaneous i.e. supply vs demand. China buy from US about $200B and US buy from China about $500B. If China could find other customers for the $500B, they would sell in an instant. So is the US. Everything is in a steady state. It all boils down to a $200B...

Already mentioned. Finviz. But the best is still your own screener. Using any charting software and create any screening filter that you can think of.

Congratulation! :cool: You are the 1 in 10. Keep it up. :thumbsup:

Why would he be held responsible for the crime that his staff committed? Going by the same logic, many bosses would be fired for that many people in jail. Why did the "wife" waited until now? She should have reported it to the authority then.

I do long only. I use multiple rules for exit. Optimize the number of days above 50SMA. TF NO sucks. :D In the game of trading, it's all about winning odds. :cool:

Do a frequency plot on the number of days above 50 SMA and that will give an important clue on when to get it.

I am using Amibroker. A trend will not last forever and one must know when to get in and out. Not a recommendation but an example. Trend that has broken: CBOE, CAT, TTGT Still trending: AMED, WCG, UVE

With so many strategies going around, possible to apply Pareto's 80/20 rule? 20% of the strategies that account for 80% of the profits.:cool: Just a thought. I am using trend following with 50 SMA on daily data. The simplest strategy that can be.:sneaky:

Speaking of probability. This is my observation of the NYSE and NASDAQ market in general over the past 15 years. 1. Start counting the number of days when a stock goes above 50MA 2. Stop counting when it goes below 50MA 3. Do a frequency plot based on the number of days 4. Do a power curve...

Just a side note. For the 10 years of data, one may not able to get those delisted stocks. As for Yahoo Finance data, it's a pain to download now as they encrypt the URL with cookie & crumb but not impossible. Another free source is Nasdaq.com where is URL is simple and you can use any script to...

Just a follow-up on my earlier post. BTW, I using trending following strategy. Stock scanning is part of the puzzle. Having the correct entry and exit are the key. About 60~70% of the time, stocks will fail to stay above 50MA beyond 20 days. Just being a little patient will improve the odds of...
