Hi again all,
Thank you all for your replies about wizetrade. My overall impression is that the product does offer some useful information, albeit offered at less cost or no cost via other means.
I have traded very successfully in the past 3 years, but have never traded on technical aspects, solely on experience and pouring over the financials of companies.
I realize the past is no indicator of future trends or results, but it seems there is some correlation between past trends otherwise the technical analysis of stocks would not exist right? I am just now becoming familiar with MACD. I need to do some research and reading up on Bollinger bands, fast and slow stoch, etc etc.
one example is that according to the rep. for wizetrade on the phone, the first hurdle is the 3 green lights, then you look at the F.A.S. (F-fresh cross..want to get in early), A-angle of separation of buy and selling bars (green and red lines) and S-separation..want the lines far apart.
The one he gave as a great example is TCOW. I say, ok, looks good because hugh buying as of late. If I was to look at it from financial aspect, I would not buy it because its a bulletin board stock, and looks to me like it was a pump and dump in years past. The trend may be due to just some pumping going on, but according to wizetrade, you don't care why its going up or down, just to get in early and ride the 'wave' as long as possible and get out when things turn.
I have found 100-200 stocks with 3 greens, I will narrow it down to about 5-10 or less that have favorable F.A.S. characteristics, and good financials. I plan to invest about 20-30k this week on these selected few. I will let you know how I do.
That is the one thing that intrigues me about my search for answers on this software: no one has replied that they used the software and it sucked and they lost alot of money using it. It seems most have said its a scam and never bought it, or that its over priced and you can get the info for less or no cost. Considering I have never used this sort of technical analysis, it seems like it may be a really great tool for me to improve my already very good results. I have found some great stocks and bought at very good prices. Examples include: MXT,and ACF(bought tons until 3/03) S(bought when it dropped 10 in a day to 23 and bought as low as 18.30), CI(bought when it dropped 25 in a day (39 and 36 purchases), HD (daytraded it when it was mid 20's (did very well with it), TWR (bought 63k shares from 1.53 to 1.21 in oct-nov, sold off all but 4k shares upto 2.74, made 24k in last 3 months.
I think this software or perhaps another technical one would really help me maximize my profits. I tend to take winners too soon. MXT and ACF would have made me over 900k alone if I kept them. S is upto 50 now. I sold off long time ago. TWR would have made me 75k instead of 24k if I held till well over 2 to sell.
