Hi PF, What software do you use for your fib analysis??

IF, You should read some of Tim Morge's work on Andrews,download the original work and think about taking the "pitchfork primer" course..Its not expensive...

Hi all, Was just curious to how one trades Entries vs Exits.Do you use the same exact criteria to exit as you did to enter??? If you get in on a close crossing above the 14 period MA,would that be your primary exit rule,or do you look for a different exit setup?? Any input appreciated Tao

Anyone use Phicube software?? Would appreciate any input Thanks tao

Mav,thats really not much different than trading your gamma and hedging your delta,unless i am missing something.You just choose to trade the short option.. I have a feeling you are either very good at assessing an individual stocks vol rel to the implied,or you are a very good directional...

What is a CTM backspread??? And for you "beginning option traders",legging into a backspread is no small feat.You need to be an adept directional trader or on the right side of volatility.... Personall,I dont see how anyone could have made money being long backspreads in the equity...

i have both Zacks and P123.... You should look at P123

Portfolio 123 is a great tool,and reasonably priced

Check out Portfolio123..its much better than Zacks

Hi Wallace, Thanks for the Catch 22 article...basically its a moving average system(XTL) with a bit of money management/position sizing and scaling of positions.... I did contact the folks over at Esignal today regarding their next upgrade for Advanced Get.The good news is that Advanced Get...

What you are asking for is fairly standard on almost any software package.You simply define a "congestion range" by the high vs low for a particular time frame,and then code a breakout of a new high or low for that period for the last data bar. From there you may have a list of 30 stocks out...

I know you dont care about backtesting,but I just dont see how you can beat Amibroker for the price.....

I am pretty sure you could code it yourself in Ami,but you would be better off just buying patternexplorer with Ami..Both offer great support(email only)...

great site.....thanks for the info

You have Bullish reverse divergences,you are in a clear uptrend,and you arent listening to price...Picking tops is not fun business

John,I was asking because I am coming to the very same conclusion.9 months ago,I disconncted my intraday feeds and combined fundamentally filtered stocks with simple candlesticks,volume analysis and trendlines(andrews). I now spend 1/4 of the time "trading" and have significantly better returns

John,I am curious as to why a user of TradeStation would say that...Would appreciate any insight Tao

This is very very sound advice..FORGET about starting your own fund.You will never get the seed capital,potential investors will want you to have significant skin in the game,and the start up costs are very high.Its the wrong move... Get yourself in front of as many hedge funds,commodity pool...

Beyond a shadow of doubt,this is the way to go..... But you will need to spend 2 years there

I joined this thread a bit late,so I will assume you are talking about index options and not equity options... I get your point regarding a bullish outlook and selling vol.My point is if you are short vol,you cant afford to take directional bets,while when long vol,you can let your deltas go...
