spydertrader,

I have noticed that (on the 30 min chart), if the price exceeds the upper regression channel, it always retreats back to or below the upper channel line (2 std dev.) on the same bar or next bar.

trgl at 30.75 was above upper regression channel line ( 2 std deviations) which was 30.61.

I have little trading experience. I'm just offering an observation of mine.

I used the regression channel alot in my (long term) investing experience, mainly to see the trend.

I didn't go with trgl because I'm using flat du instead of lower band du. When regular du was hit, the macd and stoch weren't favorable.

I'm waiting for FRV.

Thanks for posting your observations. I've noticed TRGL ramped right back up to the levels near my entry. These things happen.

To create the following lists of stocks, I used 90 RS and 80 EPS. Using 90 RS and 90 EPS resulted in an initial stocktables.com sort of too few equities.
