:eek: What did you see in this monster? What was your initial stop? I see that you sold at 57.20, but you held this thing down through to 55, a $400 unrealized loss! I think it's a good idea to move to a programatic stoploss. Hopefully this will eliminate those broken stops and reduce...

Man, these details kill me. This is why I have to do everything in code - I always forget step 2 of 13... I slipped up in the build and copyed the wrong JAR file across. The new and updated ZIP file is: http://www.michabo.com/files/hershey_scan-1.0.1.zip Otherwise, the directions are...

I finished a new version of the Hershey scan utilities. The DryUp scan now displays the Average DU as well as LBDU and FRV (thanks for the suggestion, swingtrader123) and some big bugs were fixed with the fullscan (it wasn't checking for rank, d'oh!). By default, it now displays a lot more...

I'm using Cybertrader right now, through Questrade. There are some glitches with the software that are frustrating until you figure them all out and modify your trading strategy. I also get charged a $6/day/symbol fee which is acceptable for someone that makes a lot of trades in a given stock...

If the stock is moving big on heavy volume, they can easily break through s/r zones. You should monitor your positions here for signs of reversal, but don't assume that they'll turn around. Fibs or pivots are nice tools to help you get an idea on what might be possible under some...

Do you have your stats on a month-by-month basis? What do your stats look like when you just look at your last couple months?

It's a pure meritocracy. No bullshit politics, no suckups, no undeserved successes or failures. You thrive or fail on your own skill and self-control and have no one to blame but yourself. That really appeals to me.

Have you changed your stoplosses to accomodate your changed targets? Do you have any system which you are using to come up with your target profits & losses? (You used to have one, what has it become?) Are you sure about shorting those stocks above? Those are some large upcandles with...

FYI: IIIN has earnings tomorrow (20th) and SFCC and CYBS have earnings next Wed. 'tis the season.

Wow, quite the morning we're having! Many of the hershey stocks have been little rocket ships, blasting up 4-6% in the first 30 minutes! I'm sitting on the sidelines, kicking myself for not benefiting but not wanting to jump onto such a fast moving train. Hopefully some of us are enjoying...

Went long on CYBS this morning. It was in DU and signaled a volume break out, the 30 min stochastics were >75, and MACD was positive. On the daily chart, it opened near support and looked like it was a couple of days out from a Bruno R setup. Not ideal, but the planets were in line so I took...

I did a bit of poking about and found something interesting about float and wondered if anyone else had found the same thing, or had any comments to make. I was re-reading the first Journal and some of the associated links, trying to understand the filtering process and looking for ways...

Sold RHAT at 23.37 for 6.9% profit as volume is much lower than yesterday. I think I'm also influenced by some non-system factors: I don't want to hold over the weekend, and don't want to be long when RHAT is in a downtrend unless everything lines up for me. And hey, can't sniff at a 6.9%...

Oy, this isn't working out well. I keep getting file errors when trying to extract files that I download from filefactory.com. I've put it up on my home site. It won't be as fast, but hopefully it'll be good enough. Thanks for bearing with me. http://www.michabo.com/files/hershey_scan.zip

I tried to attach it but it looks like it failed - too large. I put it up on filefactory.com which offers free web hosting, but deletes files after 15 days of inactivity. (If anyone else knows of a more long-term option, please let me know.) In the meantime, here it is...

I wasn't using the script. I've tried, but haven't figured out how to apply it, yet. I spent the evening to visually assemble a list of stocks which are ready to go (low stoch, macd converging), and a list of stocks which are going (fast stoch moving up through 50, MACD diverging), and then...

I'm trying to learn the Bruno R setups and have been taking a few trades with reduced size while waiting for the beginner setups to materialize. I'm also trying to retrain myself to get away from a day trading mindset when .10 is a big deal :) Today, I had RHAT on my coming buy list...

I think I finally have a 0.9 version of some of my Hershy utilities. They're a bit of a grab bag, and with some of the other utilities posted here, there will be some overlap. Hopefully some people will find them useful. It is large because of all of the 3rd party libraries. If someone is...

That's fantastic! Snappy and a nice UI. Thanks!

I have something working already that suits my command-line nature, but I'm sure it'll give other people grief. If you have the time and skills to code something up, then I'm sure it'll be appreciated. To get the earnings date from zacks.com, I'm using...
