Pointone, could you tell me how you were able to put in the green 50 line in your stochastichs (5,2,3) display. I emailed QT about doing this awhile ago but they told me it wasnt possible. Maybe they didnt understand what I ment :)

Sure:

double click on the indicator pane to bring up the Indicators menu

Go to lower indicators
Select Horizontal Line
Move it in the right hand pane to be below the Full Stoch entry using the arrows
Edit it and set value to 50
Click between the black dots on the left to link it to the indicator.

Nice... your method is better than what I suggested. I deleted my post.
 
Thanks pointone.

Got the same.

Sold CRZO @$27.75 for 0.50 gain
In ASCA@ $29.80 FRV EOD and HWCC@$21.50 did not FRV EOD; will dump tomorrow if it behaves badly!

Missed XING and REDF waiting for it to DU prior to going to work! :D :mad: oh well!

Same, but add NSTR to the DU list.
 
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 charts, and Sim looks like a candidate. i don't claim to be an expert, but if we are going long, i think we should trade with the trend, rather than against it or with a stock undergoing consolidation. i establish my
trend by using a 10da. ma. crossing a 35 da. ma. since the sector
of a stock strongly influences accumulation, perhaps we should also check for the strongest sectors to pick our stocks in. any comments?
 
Got stopped out of my PCCC trade from yesterday. I still had my 2% stop in, but with the huge decline at the open the price went right through it and I was filled for a 3.38% loss, it must have been from the news last night about the company getting a new president. At least it was only a paper trade:)

Bought REDF (19.38) and STEC (12.56) this morning. We'll see how they work out. Volume is humming along and the charts look good. Any thoughts?
 
Ok here is a question about exit strategy if I may.

I purchased GIGM yesterday morning when it signalled at 10:26AM. Purchase price $10.07. I then watched it slide all the way down to $9.72, wich was still above my 5% stop. It hit FRV before the end of the day so I stayed in.

It climbed back up to a high of $10.44 as of this writing but now is just hovering around $10.34. Volume is once again high, hitting FRV for today again already.

Is this a hold for 2 more days, or with MACD dropping a bit would it be something to get out of now for a small profit?

Thanks much for any insight!
