Hi, Other than Yahoo finance or MSN Money, is there a site(s) where you can download OTCBB stock symbols into one file? I've used the above two mentioned sites, but being lazy, its a pain to cut and paste the excel data (almost 40 pages of excel sheets for current OTCBB universe from my MSN...

It's more than that... he is a trend follower, but he scales up based on whether his entry on a lower time frame trend (i.e. on a minute chart) translates itself into a "same-direction" trend on the next higher time frame (i.e. a 5-minute chart). He'll then scale in further if the trend on the...

Babak, I've used both. I use Telechart mainly because it's data is compatiable with Amibroker (my TA analysis program).. VectorVest data, to my knowledge, is not usable in any other program. The other advantage of Telechart is the more extensive TA that can be used to sort and rank stocks...

Couple of questions: 1) is there a website that has historical overnight equity data for the US markets? 2) I'm interested in studying the effects of extreme high/low overnight moves on subsequent daily moves for any given stock. The most obvious would be whether an extreme down move o/n...

Want some advice? STAY away from anyone offering trading as "the world's perfect business".. it has snake oil written all over it. For 25-50 bucks you can buy a good intro book on trading.

Nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that if you were using 10% stops, many of your "winners" would have been stopped out before having a chance to close out as winners. I went back and looked at many of your "winners" and they invariably dropped 20+% over the holding period prior to...

I use to receive emails from Mr Market touting his stock picking method... I was amazed at his accuracy until I actually went back at looked at charts of many of his winners and realized that many of the picks were held for 6+ months in order to get his 15% gain, but what was more troubling, was...

No offense, but Vic was quoting average % change for trends- the most important detail he left out was the dispersion of the data points that make up the average. Why's this important? If Vic's studies lead him to state that the average intermediate uptrend is a 25% move but the dispersion is...

margin is related to volatility.. the greater the volitility ( daily price range), the higher the margin...

Seriously, I'll take the bait FPC.. how can I contact you to get more info? I'm always willing to learn anything that will get my trading off the ground.. Dave :)

Jack, What do you mean? Is this in relation to evaluating "Dry Up" volume versus determining support/resistance off of heavy volume areas via VAP? Thanks for your reply, Dave

Thanks runningbear.. would it be worth my while to read up on market profile, or do you know of a book/info that i can get my hands on regarding VAP? Right now I'm just studying charts with a VAP overlay (Amibroker) in order to develop a sense of where possible support/resistance will be..

Has anyone used VAP as an analytical tool? I can see where it can be used to "determine" areas of high/low volume at any given price, but do the high volume areas truely act as support/resistance? any info would be much appreciated. Everytime i google "VAP" or "Volume-at-Price" I usually end up...

jamis, with regards to your example of the down day, what if the bulk of the volume had been above the previous days close (making it an "up" day at that point in time), yet a sell-off occured late in the day on low volume that dropped the price down by 0.75. How do you interpret that? Would...

Well, if you look at those charts more closely, you can see where price busted through to the downside on low volume (dark blue I presume?) through "their" (the PAC analyst) defined areas of "strong" support (green I presume?)

nice, but what does this have to do with EOD trading as the original thread was all about? Please tell me how to use this infomation when all you have is EOD volume? Just as an aside, don't many professional traders mask their intentions on the bid/ask? i.e. they may place a 1000 lot order to...

Hi Babak, I was refering to Mark Weinstein of Market Wizard fame, not Stan Weinstein... BTW, I have Stan Weinstein's book and throughout his examples of price movement "exploding" on high volume out of consolidation areas, I can also point out on the same graphs price exploding out of bases...

So Jack, Just because we disagree on the value of using volume in the making of trading decisions means that always I'm wrong and will never make money in the markets? Does that mean that Seykota, Dennis, Schwartz, Weinstein, Baruch, Mark Fisher etc.. are "wrong" too? I know that those guys...
