I need a real time stock screener that allows me to use range bars instead of minute bars. Anyone know how I can do that?

Well technically I had already made the money. I had to get tricky to cash it out. The poker site was trying to rip me off.

I have faked IP address, utilities, phone number etc... before in order to cash some money out of a poker site that was being difficult. (No fraud on my part, just a scamming poker site) Just searching online for 2 days I was able to send them a utility bill, and a WORKING phone...

4/5 LONG BYI I just discovered collective2. Very cool! I signed up and hopefully that will give me some good business after a while.

4/3 long NCR 4/4 short GPI 4/4 long WNR Remember entry next day open, unless there is a big gap either way. I won't bother posting charts for these, they are all just pullbacks. I'll post charts if interesting stuff happens with them. I try to pick a long and a short every day...

NHWK Short 4/2. The day we entered it moved enough in our favor to move stop to breakeven. Unfortunately it gapped big next day, so out at the open for a small loss. I forgot to mention, when stop is moved to breakeven that is an intraday stop order. The idea is to not let small winners...

MAT long 4/2 so entry at open next day.

Hi. I have been working on an EOD method for quite some time. I believe it should be very profitable in practice. Unfortunately I don't have any money, and am not likely to have much anytime soon. If you search my earlier posts you will find that about 4 years ago I was a broke 19 year...

cool i went there 2000-2003 i was on the wrestling team if you were around then. I got a biz degree.

Lindq i've been playing with your suggestions regarding beta and debth of pullback, and it is looking pretty good. I really appreciate those hints.

Hehe I thought you were offering. I can do some basic backtesting, but wouldn't have a clue how to make rules for only picking charts with nice healthy patterns. Thanks for your input though.

Oh yeah I forgot here is another thing. If the stock is still above the stop loss and a slight loser or winner, I will often get out after a few days to a week, especially if the technincal indicators are starting to turn. If it is like this after 2 weeks, definitely get out.

Here is why i don't think it can be backtested: to pick a stock i scan for the conditions i talked about in the first post, and then i sort by highest ADX. I then look through until I find a stock that meets my criteria. My criteria are something like a recent double bottom followed by...

I could backtest, but the real problem is that the entries really are discretionary. I only would take them if there are larger factors signaling a trade, like a recent major trendline break or something. I will def check out that site. I don't supposte you went to Central WA U did you?

This is a good point. I have filters I use to get rid of noise and stay on the right side of the overall trend, and actually in practice scanning have picked some huge short winners during a little bull market. I was just trying to get some feedback on the actual signal and exit methodology...

Here are my current thoughts: 1. If stock moves the size of the stop loss in my favor, move stop loss to break even. 2. Set a target of 3x initial stop loss OR Trail a stop using an MA or pivots or something I suppose testing would be the best...

Here is what I am currently trying to figure out: 1. A basic filter to get rid of choppy stocks. 2. The best method of exiting winners. Would love some discussion!

Here is a fairly choppy stock. I didn't mark the trades. There were some small losers and a small winner or two.

Here are a few more, with some short zones too. Obviously it works well in trending markets.

Obviously you wouldn't take every signal, but here are some entries to illustrate my idea.
