I've started researching different trading methodologies and have found the process somewhat messy. From what I can tell there aren't really that many promising distinct systems out there. What there do seem to be a lot of though are many variations on what are indicator specific systems...

Any chance you'd be willing to share the code? Considering you spent a couple of week at it, I presume it is fairly thorough. I've tried programming a couple of explorations myself but they seem fairly simple to me. Do your screens look only for breakouts or cup and handle and other basing...

Hello again. I'd just like to clarify, what sell criterion did you use in disposing of IRIS? It wasn't the 4-day time stop was it? Also reaching FRV is only important on the first day, right? Or did I miss something that says that it is also required on each day that one continues to hold a...

Hi again. I noticed that you entered into the FORD trade despite it having gone up in excess of 5% from the previous close which I have as 19.99 by the time the signal was given at 21.44. Have you abandoned that rule or was I misinterpreting it?

I wish to clarify how you apply your trailing stop. If you are using a 2% trailing stop shouldn't it have been hit today for MCRI? Or are you using a 2% initial stop loss for this trade but a 5% trailing stop? Could you provide the calculation or stop level? Thank you once again.

I just want to ask again about your stop loss. On SNDA you determined this to be at the 37.30 level. How did you determine it?

I may have missed a previous discussion of it, but I notice that with your most recent trade with EXM you have doubled your target price so that it is 20% above entry and that you have applied a much tighter stop so that it is equivalent to the day's low instead of 5% below. Was this discussed...

Bundlemaker, I was just thinking that your proposed method may not take into account the varying probability distributions of different stocks and you might need to factor that in somehow. Determining an appropriate confidence interval would be easy if all stocks followed the same distribution...

Odelys, I was looking at your pvad trading file and noticed that you account for accumulation and distribution using open and closing price. Did I interpret it correctly? Since scoring didn't seem that essential to the process I kind of skimmed over it. I presumed accumulation/distribution...

There seems to be a discrepancy in the volume data between the two. For example MCRI March 4, 2005 volume is 1 million apart.

Thanks for the clarification on EXM. I was left wondering if you were using a dry up calculation different from the one in the Wealthlab chartscript. Having gone over some of Mr. Hershey's threads on the subject that were alluded to, it is quite obvious that Spydertrader, you have a much...

I'm not sure how pertinent this is but I've tried using your Wealth-Lab script and for me the version 1 editions work fine. However all the version 2 scripts seem to cause my system to hang when they try to analyze a handful of particular stocks. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm...

Hello, I'm new here so I hope you'll forgive any indiscretion due to my naivete. I've only read up to about page 35 of this thread so far but I find this thread intriguing enough that I have already begun going through some of the steps of the method. However, I find I am not sure how to use...
