Hello, any Independent (Professional / Prop) Equity Traders that trade off analyst research ?

Just for clarity— I don’t think many people “trade” based upon broker research. Analysts put together fairly comprehensive research reports that allow you to figure out what is being priced into a stock. You can then develop your own view and compare it vs the street or specific analysts to determine if you think there will be positive surprises or if analysts are underestimating something.

On the other hand, your rsi and trend stuff are all lagging and based upon your hypothesis of trend persistence…Which is public information and widely used, so very little edge if any. In other words you are not informed.

I like your comment, but I don't use RSI. By relative strength/weakness, I'm referring to if a stock is having a really good or bad day compared to what the market is doing. The only indicator I use is volume profile. I know a lot of pros use VWAP, but I've never found it to be particularly useful. It's just another line on the chart IMO.

Sorry for misreading then! Pros use vwap as a benchmark price, and will usually run algos to track it (or buy more when price below, less when price above, etc. also known as a “best efforts”).

I had a great day in MRNA 2 Fridays ago just by following the momentum to the downside. If I was a mean reversion trader like I used to be, that would have hurt pretty badly. I like to do longer term mean reversion in my Roth, but just with ETF's. Mean reversion was great for awhile, but then it got very ugly for the group I was in. Like I said in another thread, our developer lost 35k in a couple of minutes and he quit. We were still able to use the program, but we all realized how the risk wasn't "definable" (if that's a word) and we all stopped using it.

Sorry OP for getting of track.

The institutions spend millions on research. They have trouble outperforming the S&P consistently. By the time you get the research it's too late to act on it.

Can you walk us thru the process you use to trade off broker / analysist research.

Firstly how do you obtain the research? Do you subscribe to a service or does your broker send you the reports in a timely manner?

Once you have the research how does this affect the way you manage your portfolio?

Just my own experience but analysists and brokers are very slow to recommend selling a stock.

Do you feel that the research has contributed positively to your portfolio's performance as compared to randomly picking stocks? I remember years ago, I believe it was the Wall Street Journal had a contest where a monkey throwing darts competed favourably with the experts.
 
Amazing! Some one asks for analysts followers and ends up served moving averages and RSI's, beside flatly out of subject rambilngs. Why can't people just shut up when they have nothing to contribute to the issue at hand?
