Nothing
wrong with trading against trend, if you are making money, but NFLX
high a week ago 117.84 and then low on Wednesday was 102.53
Yesterday was only day in the last 5 to actually close higher.

GMCR
- during pre-trading hours, could not get a fill even at 5 staggered
orders of 100/ea shares. Is this common? Closed GMCR during regular
session +.74.
Cadi - good point, I've taken a beating
(amplified by using poor dicipline/timing and not following the
strategy) on NFLX that I am standing by and watching that one. |

How apropo was your last post
Some people may be disappointed next week if they did not
study/understand the links that you posted. FYI, I don't consider that
the markets are driven by random actions. Hope you rest over the
week-end and feel better next week.

Tach, agree with your comments. 
Your guidelines and "Rules" are explicit.
It
always amazes me how people given a set of rules, can not or will not
or are not able to carry them out, no matter how potentially profitable a
method might be. Just won't take the time and put in whatever effort is
necessary to either succeed or proof to themselves it is not ( at least
does not satisfy their individual goals, objectives, trading style
etc...)
Jumping to the next great indicator to reach the elusive Holy Grail...

This method is based upon repetitive human behaviors and human actions with respect to time: cycles caused by humans.
- That is why it has worked for so long, and why it will likely work for decades to come.
- That is why we have not interferred much with each others' fills even though trading a relatively small number of symbols.
- That is why I had/have no fears about losing any of my own profits by sharing this method.
Markets
are driven by combinations of random and non-random actions, scheduled
and unscheduled events. Traded properly, this method takes advantage of
all of these, excepting only those unscheduled events which go against
it.
The deeper the method is understood, the better it can be traded. It is like an onion, multiple layered.
Don't just look for magic trigger points in price, or price and volume, or the indicators.

My comment was just a point of interest, not questioning validity of the method.
There are all kinds of ways to trade. |

No,
No. No. N, Where is the f-ing comma? No, No, No---No. Markets are
constructed. Certainly since 1998. It has little to do with human
behavior. Now yesterday a perfect Cup with handle was formed better than
a text book example because bill O'Neil doesn't even offer such an
example in his Text book How to Make Money in the StockMarket. Here's
how its done. The Market Manipulator, a single person or corporation.
Not the Russian Mafia or the Chinese Government or evil Romanian Hackers
But True Blue. Apple pie U.S. citizen. Who would that be? Probably Bill
O'Neil himself. He's bragging in his book about buying a MainFrame and
programming it himself. Well he And his pals and that is was way back
in the 1970s. Well this computer creates a constance flow of buy and
sell Orders. I like to think of it as a constance barometric pressure in
loop wind tunnel. The pressure can be controled to create chart
patterns. Any trader wether a retail or institutional trader that buys
or sells that creates a turbelence within the air stream of the tunnel.
In this case the tunnel is the stock exchange and the action of the
computer software is the wind. So Wind a turbelence is introduced to the
constance pressure it is detected by the software. The software can
identify the time, amount and the location of the turbelence and
estamate which technical indicator was triggered to introduce the buy or
sell order. This infomation a feedback from the software to the
exchange to change the action of the Market to foil the traders supposed
position. Not always successful but in any case the total infomation
gathered and catagoryized globally in the since that TradeStation thinks
about Globalization. and the software can be tweeted to countermand the
detected turbelance.
Are you with me so far? |

| Yes
the best indicator does't get its action from Stock price or volumn.
Hopefully the Wind tunnel won't reconize the turbelence. Like data
derived from some other source other than the Stock Market.like an
oscilliscope sine wave derived from a sound recording of Street trafic.
Or streaming data taken from a temperture recording devise from a
weather Station. Wait a minute, I'm not kidding. |

Tach,
I was going over this forum from begin. It is amazing you have so much
energy to spend and tell your ideas. I really admire your dedication.

First,
my thanks to tachyonv for sharing his system/methodology. I realize
that in his first post for thread, tach layed out the plan.
Now might be a good time to review the plan:
Use TS's Scanner to screen equities for the following parmeters:
1) Intraday EMA(34) price range >= 2.00
2) Closing price between $30 - $125/sh.
3) Beta <= 0.7
4) Avg. Daily Vol. > 800,000shares
Load the stocks from the scanner into Tradable Symbols RadarScreen w/APR_Recent Days input parameter set to 34.
Double click on APR_Recent Days ("Recent APR" in RadarScreen?) column to get sequenced from highest to lowest.
Select those symbols with APR Recent values => $2.00 and that are not rejected for other reasons.
Set up charts formated for candle sticks, Keltner Channels, %R and Vol. EMA indicator.
TRADE:
Buy 1,000 shs. between 8:30 - 10:45 am CT (best prices, (i.e., lowest) are between 9:15 & 10:30
Sell after price has risen $0.52/sh or by 12:35 pm CT
Use a trailing stop.
As to a stop loss - $.25?
Don't get greedy and make only one trade/day/equity.
If I missed anything, please fill in but I wanted to keep it simple.
One request, what equities currently pass the screening?
Without looking up Beta I get; NFLX, PXD, PRGO, OPEN, ALXN - is that about correct?
Great thread, thanks again to Tachyonv and all the rest that have posted.

I jumped into RRC as well but tightened stop and lost -0.29
I caught some of PANL at +0.40, so still ahead for day. |

PRGO good entries at 9:30 around $94.35, rose to $94.85 around 10:50 am, although now trading back down around $94.46.
RRC good entry at 9:30 at $63.00, rose to $63.55 and thereabouts multiple times, now trading around $63.39.
Each one worked fine today. Easy $2000 if you had traded them, Tom47. And you could have made lot more with the first two.
And now you would be in cash, free for the afternoon, with no worries about carrying open trades overnight.
How does that song go..."I'm a believer..."?
tachyonv
Would be interested in any commentary/advice you can provide on why you would have taken these entry's at these times/prices.
I
have looked at the charts and there are possible entry's shortly before
the price/time you mentioned but would have taken some heat before
being profitable whereas your entry's take very little or no heat.
ALXN
NFLX

"This
is a high win rate method with relatively low risk. If you are not
achieving 80% to 93% win rate or if you are suffering a large loss once
in a while, then you are probably not trading with sufficient
self-discipline, and/or too impatiently and/or not paying enough
attention to/understanding the indicators" |
