Sure thing sunny'. Keeping a tally for the thread will be great so thanks for offering to do so. It will be a solid benefit undoubtedly. Please post the entry and exit rules you will use; although, I recognize that not every trader will choose to exploit an opportunity in the same manner as...

One of the things we are "examining" real time is how well this method does in a non-trending lower volatility market. Btw, 'this method' merely refers to trading consolidation breaks. The NR and NRID methods, geometric patterns, etc., are simply means used to help identify consolidation...

Oswald that would be great! I love this setup and the twist you describe sounds sharp. craftyfox that is some chart!!! :eek: sunnyskies - yeah that day sure stunk. But I notice that you didn't mention anything about the lists posted for the 13th and 14th. Nor did you mention anything...

Immediately disproving my admonishment about buying a break just below major MA's is CHIR. :) Of the candidates listed for today, CHIR has been the only one to trade. Clearly it has worked out well so far. See chart. Another of easy's selections from Monday has begun a move, NBL. It is...

No trade for MSFT as the price opened down but well outside the pattern. Still.... we were prepared. I would like to post the chart of one of easyguru's selections from Monday. Again, read his recent posts to discern his goals for this type of setup. In the Monday group, all have remained in...

I'll put the list of SP500 candidates up in the morning. For those tuning in to this thread at this post the posted symbols represent NRID4's. Here is the list of Nas100 candidates for Weds. I thought it might be interesting to see if anything good happens following the INTC report. CHIR...

The SP500 finished up less than a point overall so it is fair to say it was another fairly directionless day, ie., no supertrend activity. I am not going to post the results of the list from today; however I did look at each one and it looks to me like today was a nice winning day. I think...

Sorry for the delay in posting the listed candidates for today. I ran the screen on the SP500 to give us a larger selection. Here is the complete list. A note - BGG is spanking us right now, but otherwise there are / have been some excellent profit opportunities... and no whipsaws so far. :)...

An exciting day for the techies as a mid-day rally extends into the afternoon and pares losses considerably. Lol... sounds like a lead-in at your local fee-for-service website doesn't it? :) But who cares about that because we can only spend our profits. Let's take a look at how yesterday's...

Hey easy', I have looked more carefully at your stocks for the last 30 minutes. There certainly is a recurring theme. :) Do you scan for those?

Amen to the whipsaw scizo. Empirically it "seems" that the outside day - the one that starts within yesterday's range and takes out both of yesterday's extremes - is not very common, or prohibitively common anyway. TS can be easily coded to check for the percentage of days that are outside...

For starters.... here are candidates from the SP100 that qualify as NR7/ID .... you know, it is much easier on a keyboard-challenged person like myself to type NRID7 so that is how I am going to refer to it from now on. As a review, this means the daily range on Friday of each stock on this...

Outstanding Oddi! That will be great. Imagine a thread of members working to provide specific profit opportunities daily and intraday. Truthfully, I bet Baron had something of this nature in mind from the start. Today I will download the StockWatch Pro software and try to get up and...

Alright!!! Sunny' I'm glad you're here too. Perhaps your perspective will shed a different light on what I believe are worthwhile setups. Also, would you mind posting what you are looking for in the way of profit opportunity? I don't mean number of shares or dollars per trade.... more like...

Oddi - thanks for the very kind thoughts. On ET we're all in this together after all, so we should be hoping for one another's success. The book Professional Stock Trading, by Conway and Behle, has some TS programs for coding geometric patterns. I studied the language for a bit to see if I...

I don't think there is one. Some suggestions that you might not have tried: Use the CTRL and left arrow keys to scroll big chunks. Decrease spacing. Change to the next 1-2 longer time frames. All three.

Some of the authors who use the NR/ID setup to identify consolidation and break opportunities look for a multi-day trade. The indices have certainly cooperated by printing the "classic" result from an NR/ID break. It might be a good idea to print the charts and keep the hard copies for future...

Although the indices have printed nice charts that fully illustrate this trade, the opening gap in the futures and ETF's made it more difficult to profit from today's break via those instruments. However, keep in mind that indices can only print narrow range and/or inside days, when many of...

Geometric patterns and narrow range / inside days are illustrations - not illusions - of consolidation. Narrowing ranges bound by the previous days' extremes form these patterns as traders/investors delay making larger commitments until they have more knowledge. This is basic information and...

Previously I have used StockWatch Pro to scan for stocks. I also wrote the code using Excel. As you can imagine, it's easy. Anymore I just eyeball it.... especially the major indices. We all look at those everyday.
