Wouldn't it be of great interest if experienced traders would post a description of their most successful trading strategy? What they trade, when they trade and how they trade? Is this not the reason everyone is here?

in looking at a chart on COGO,i'm seeing a ''toppy'' trend, macd down and short stoch down. since we are supposed to be trading long, wouldn't it be better to trade stocks in an uptrend? IAAC is also in a downtrend with stoch down and bop (balance of power) down. NVEC looks like a maybe on my...

Thanks Spyder, i remember you saying that the merger between e-signal and qcharts may cause you to change services. in the wealth lab, which chartscripts do you now use? i see there are a number of them available? thanks again Roy

Spyder, would you mention the chartscripts you now use? also, are you still using Qcharts? i use TC2000, which is easy to use, but i don't think it is suitable for Hershey/Spyder trading. i'm a rookie and my confusion is compounded by the variety of trading platforms, data souces and the...

Jack seems to have had extensive experience withTelechart. i have used it for years, but i think it is lacking in the necessities for Hershey trading. i want to have the mosy versatile tool availble, since they are all comparably priced and i wondered if Jack has used this platform recently and...

Thanks again for your input. it's very rare to participate in a site where everyone is so forthcoming with their knowledge. i hope i'll be able to reciprocate in some fashion. Restan

many thanks to all who offerered information on their trading sources. i'm sure this subject may resurface in the future as everyone tries to refine their trading strategies and increase financial efficiency. what significence does the ''white space'' beside the bars have? are the tools needed...

i have never used real time streaming charts. i use tc2000 charts for choosing stocks, but the real time data costs $99. per month. does anyone have a comment on this service as to reliability, ease of use, etc.? i think Scottrade has the streaming charts, but is also a broker. it would seem...

SPYDER, i'm not trying to cause problems, just trying to digest a great deal of new information which it seems is being refined as time goes by. it would be a great help if all of us were on the same page, using the same data sources and trading the same stocks and patterns. i think most of...

in my ignorance, i would like to ask a few questions. i have always heard it is best to trade with the trend and not against it. when i looked at Spyder's universe posted Dec 14, post 767, it looked to me that the majority of these stocks were reversing from a positive trend to a negative...

Buffalow, thanks for your information. to all trading here, i might just mention that i held NVEC for about 2 years while it traded in a slow negative channel. as luck would have it, once it showed a small forward movement, i sold it--thereby missing the nice recent run-up. :mad:

i sometimes use IBD'S highest ranked stocks plus Value Lines stocks ranked for timeliness to trade. in checking IBD'S 50 top ranked stocks this week, i see only two of our universe stocks. i wonder if one could use the IBD stocks to run through the other parameters to see if they would be good...

Spyder, i take your comments with respect. my logic forces me to ask this question: if i had read and understood all the information here written, would my results on the scans i performed have been different?. all i wanted to know is which scan to use to get the ''hot list''. believe me, i'm...

here i am, continuing to slog through the mud. today i scanned stocktables for my universe. i took the three lists of 10 to Wealth Lab and tried to rank them. i used Hershey's Equities Rank v 4.0 and only got 3 tickers with a Rank, although most of them have a Score. i did the same with the...

Spyder, thanks for your attempt to help someone who doesn't seem to get it. my scan showed some of your universe but not others. let me post my understanding of this procedure. 1. at stocktables scan for 100 stocks- i entered rs> 90 eps>80 $ 10.--50...

Gentlemen, i am new to this site and i'm already in a quandry as how to get my master list of tradeable stocks. i go to Stocktables and enter my scan. i get around 100 stocks. i then create 3 lists: bottom list: filter out stocks < vol.=200k- question: how high up the list do you go? are...

Jack, as i read your methods i can understand your reference to volume as a leading indicator, but you also use stochastics and RS as indicators and they lag the market. i assume you use these as part of your setup for a trade which is then signaled by volume?

Jack, i am busy reading your previous posts concerning your trading methods. i understand you at one time used TC2000 to examine data. i currently use TC2000 and wonder if i can set up my indicators to be compatible with your requirements. i assume all this would have to be in real time...

Good morning Jack, you have certainly piqued my interest. i admire the fact that you obviously think out of the box. i also do that in many endeavors, but as yet i have not been gifted with insight in trading. i'm afraid i follow the same path as the herd. i have a glimpse of what you do, but i...

Jack, i have read the comments of Spydertrader about your method and he refers to a ''journal''. do you have a posting of your methods that one could read? i would like to understand what you are doing. Roy
