Updating the home-run analogy - this trade now has the potential to become a grand slam..... It is incredibly tough to sit on your hands and not sell...I had to phone people just to ask them to tell me not to pull the trigger. These wins are the real strength of momentum trading IMHO -- we...

R U trading real money? I ask because you say "now anticipating taking the plunge". Keep size very small if you are starting (half as small as you think is too small). There will be lots of trains leaving stations for years to come. You need lightening fast entry (years of video games...

I like the race analogy. Expanding on that, you can't win the ragatta if you are still at the dock screwing with the rudder. IE trade the approach with real money and it will re-inforce what a good candiate looks like real quick. Re: money mangement - my account likes it. JH has an inheren...

IMO, trying to over-engineer this approach doesn't work. I simply attempt to eyeball the 'essence' of the approach (ie pullback, du, frv). If it doesn't fit precisely with a formula it doesn't mean you discard it. DM and g33m4k have made excellent contributions - no knock against - it is...

Take half profits on CETV now at 34. Move stop to 33 on rest.

Another benefit of this approach is it keeps you out when things are going down. Nothing to do but watch the Bosox and wait for things to set up again.

Excellent book and I agree with above - His discipline is to be admired --- the best part of the book is him walking around (Paris?) deciding not to sell a huge winner -- touching a card he had written in his pocket each time he had the urge to call his broker and sell. I read this book a...

AMMD stopped and now setting up again. Re-entries can be very profitable. Move BRC stop to 49.20. Crouching like a dancer ready to spring. Chunky returns - best in a year. Long FDS, FDG Watching AMMD, CNCT, DADE, CREE

Long CETV. Lesson here is that what looks like a perfect set-up may take several days to trigger. Seen this hundreds of times.

Move stop to 36.74 on AMMD Took half off BRC. 49 stop on rest

I would suggest taking partial profits when your initial risk is exceded. Funds your mental account as well as provides income to your trading account. This should not be about 'excitement' or boredom. This should be about trading well. Money will follow. You should have the same mental...

Taking half profits on AMMD 36.53 stop on rest

Long NVR, AMMD and BRC (stalling)

Thanks for the .iff file Spyder. AMMD and BRC have triggered (not precisely by JH method). NVR looks close and looks like a trend pivot second entry. Those that entered after first pullback and have been shaken out are less likely to re-enter and stall the trend should it trigger...

Here are the criteria and results I use from MSN. Note -- this is not precisely JH's criteria.

Spyder TIA for your efforts. I discovered JH's method in '99 and have made some money using it. I downloaded 8 months of data on your universe and have one suggestion. I find a lot of your stocks to have quite a bit of overhead resistance. (IDSA, BCSI, CALM, SWIR, UBET and EVCI). IMHO...
