Hey guys, there's a new quotetracker feature on the quick alerts screen. You can copy/paste from an excel spreadsheet directly into the quick alerts. So if you have your final universe symbols already in a quotetracker portfolio and you had an excel spreadsheet with the volume trigger values...

Hey! Any dummies still around?

Dang, sure enough moneycentral agrees with your number and yahoo finance says 5.75M (what my program uses). This data game is driving me a little nuts.

CTRN came up as a new addition to the final universe, at least for me. It may already be there for others from a past incarnation...

From the document, Jack's stops seem kind of far away, so sizing the position so that your max loss is 1 - 2% of capital would make for some rather small positions sizes. This is basically a form of volatilty stop, isn't it?

Yep, I did and I'm very happy for it (so far). Even though it's on AMEX!

Yes, it helps thanks. I see now that I actually made an error adding it to my final list due to the volume. My data shows the volume < 200,000 too. I'm sticking by RACK, though. Looks really good to me from all viewpoints. *LATER* I checked RACK's web site for their last earnings...

Hey spydertrader, I recall that you had TRLG on your "bench" list i.e. waiting to be added to the final universe. What criteria are you waiting for before adding this? I found this one plus MEK and RACK (not in your final universe last I checked) on my own from stocktables.com and passed the...

Do you mean Hershey rank as calculated by the Wealth-Lab script, or stocktables.com's rank?

Ah, the once-a-month cull?

Stopped out of HANS on day 3 at 93.01 (5% trailing stop). Entered on 2/23 at 93.74. MFE: 98.00 - 93.74 = 4.26 (about 4.5%) Loss about 0.8%

LOL, that VPHM got nasty. Spydertrader, I noticed that today HANS showed up as being in dry up. I'm already in HANS from last week when it was in dry up before. Would this be an opportunity to add another position for HANS if it broke out again? Or do we just sit tight with the position we...

In terms of trailing the 5% stop loss, do you favor 5% below the day's high, or close?

MTEX hit lower band around 10:00 but was apparently due to a single big order. MACD and Stoch looked good but I'm leary of this one. Why'd you bail early from VPHM spyder?

Yes, very helpful thankyou! I'm still putting bounds on what's flexible and what's not in this discipline. Clearly one principle that isn't flexible is that a volume breakout must occur after a dry volume period. This volume breakout must be significant: a multiple of 2 or 3.

Spydertrader, how wide is this envelope for FRV?

VPHM hit the lower band early enough today plus macd and stoch looked good too. However, it's not looking like it's gonna reach FRV by EOD. Spydertrader, why did you hold back on the position size on this one?

Looks like BOOM finally made it to the final universe list... Also, thanks to spydertrader. This forum is the most civil, productive one I've seen.

Now, as far as money management is concerned, do you as a rule sell 1/2 when a position reaches 5% and move the stop to BE, letting the remainder run to 10% (or peak volume)? Or is this done on a discretionary basis? I noticed that you did this scaling out in past postings, but I wanted to...

As a sanity check that I'm doing things right, HANS hit the volume low band before 10:30 so that's a buy, right? Plus stoch and MACD looked good.
