Daily List Arrangement Changes Explained

Every night I post 3 types of candidates, picked from four exchanges - AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, OTCBB. The 3 types are:

1. Bullish Patterns - Based on technical analysis, and bullish chart patterns, most commonly the bull flag.

2. Bearish Patterns - Based on technical analysis, and bearish chart patterns, most commonly the bear flag.

3. Volume Explosion - These are not based on technical analysis per se, I just scan and post bunch of stocks that moved up on unusual volume, just to keep an watch over the next couple of days, in case something interesting happens. Most of these candidates, end up in the bull flag list within a couple of days anyway.

As the volume explosion candidates are not core picks from my system, going forward I will keep them separate.

So, this will be the format of the daily listing:

1. Mention of most promising candidates
2. Image with all bullish and bearish pattern candidates
3. Just symbols for the above stocks below the image, for easy copy and paste
4. Image with all volume explosion candidates
5. Just symbols for the above stocks below the image, for easy copy and paste

Remember, most of the picks might need a few days to develop into a proper pattern and make their move. Some might move the next day itself, but most of them will need time. So, give them few days. Also, some might never move and some might break down and reverse their course. Strictly follow technical trading guidelines.

And as always, day/swing trading is very risky.

Cheers!
Lazy

Technical Temptations Explained - Part V - Management

In this final installment, I will talk how I used to manage the picks that I post and how I picked trades.

1. I loaded the list into a watchlist and got rid of the ones that did not meet my price or exchange requirements. I would also get rid of some of the bearish candidates or the volume explosion candidates.

2. Then I would check the charts for each and get rid of the ones that did not look promising or the risk reward ratio was not favourable.

3. The ones that looked most promising, I used to note the buy price and stop price. Sometimes I even prepared the orders so that I could just execute them once the stock broke the trend line and volume looked good. Before buying I would check yahoo and msn stock page for news, earnings announcements, and also make sure they are not reporting earnings in a couple of days, if they are, then sell before earnings announcement. If the bull flag is a post earnings pattern and they reported stellar earnings, I trade bigger size. Post earnings Bull Flags are really Bullish (Dan Zanger agrees too!)

4. Every night before loading the new stocks I would remove the ones that I have already traded. For the rest I will again check the charts and if they do not look good anymore, get rid of them. Then I would load the new list and repeat the process.

5. As some of them take time to form a base and finally make a move, I would leave the ones with really good patterns for about 10-15 days.

6. I would decide trade size based on % of portfolio at risk in terms of trade risk. (I used an excel to derive the number of shares)

7. If some pattern looked too promising, I would bet more.

8. Every night I would reset my stops and check news on the open positions.

I think that's all. If you have any questions, do let me know.

Cheers!
