I've realised you asked about alerts, not exits. I bought VDSI at 9:44 on anticipation of hitting the lower band of dry-up by 11:30, which it did do JUST barely. FMCN and CMED both hit the lower band early (I think around 10:00 and 10:20 respectively) and had positive MACDH with stoch over 75. I...

Strictly by the book. I am not sitting at my PC so I cannot remember exactly what level I got into VDSI but it went from above 44 to below 41 before recovering to above 42. My 2% stop took me out. Have another look at the intraday - not a pretty sight. Suss

Rail in Japan is profitable and as far as I know in parts of Europe as well. Not tremendously lucrative, but profitable. The issue is getting people to accept it as a good idea, then the virtuous spiral begins and the investment needed to keep the system in tip-top condition can be made with...

Stopped out of CMED, VDSI and FMCN, one after the other - not nice. Suss

No trades here for me, based on a strict interpretation of Spyder rules. Suss

I don't mean to sound prim, but I don't think there's any substitute for doing the legwork. I went through Journal I with a highlighter and then went back to read the highlighted bits again, working backward from the end so that I started with the "conclusions" as it were. I found this gave me a...

Me too. Painful, but could have been so much worse! Suss

Certainly is - but not in dry-up? Suss

Got my GROW order filled at 19.84 but became nervous and sold at 21.03 without really looking closely at the volume. Could have held on I suppose but that move was almost vertical and I started to feel that consolidation was inevitable. Might buy on a pullback as has already surpassed FRV. Suss

OK, TBSI flying past the lower band of DU, nice and early. Got a fill 8 mins ago at 49.03. Let's see how this goes. Suss

Haroki, appreciate your comments. I am trying to stick to the rules as much as I can, which is why I was looking for FRV but I take your point about rising volume being bullish even if not hitting FRV. As you suggest, I plan to be conservative for a while. It'll be interesting to see what FMCN...

Spyder, do you find that anticipating trades makes sense? I got into FMCN at 9:38 (59.08) on the very rapid rise in volume, but by early afternoon it began to look unlikely (to my eyes) that FRV would be hit without a surge in volume in the final hour. Accordingly I got out at 2:54 for 59.94. In...

Understood, thank you, I have nearly finished Journal I, Journal II up next. Suss

Spyder, may I ask how you generated these additions? I don't see any of them on my most recent stocktables list. If this is simply an issue with caused by using different data providers then that's OK of course. Apologies if you have covered this already, I am still trudging through my printouts...

Out of VSR at 9.00 for a gain of 11.4%. Got scared. Suss

I am still on beginner level stuff - you bought PTT on the back of your attached channel formation I take it? Me I got VSR - twice. Got stopped out once as I bought a bit late at 8.16, it pulled back to 7.99 or so. I thought about it, rechecked the figures, bought again at 8.00. So far it's up...

I am still slowly building a final universe so I definitely find it useful to see how you and others screen for stocks of interest. Suss

Thanks for this Point. I don't yet know how to do a bulk ranking, save through writing a script for whichever software you're using. When you take your shortlist to Yahoo, do you call up a page for each stock on your shortlist (I assume Key Statistics) or is there some way to create a portfolio...

Thanks for this observation. My understanding is that the stocktables EPS rank is partly historical in nature and it seems that negative EPS stocks can and do get on to the list. I would prefer to avoid such stocks if possible. If I do ignore negative EPS, I still have float to manually check...

The problem, as far as I can see, is that stocktables doesn't give you float or EPS, so you have to check them manually! Thanks for the Telechart suggestion. Suss
