LL29 Ending of 09

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I took a couple of days off from this and it turned into a couple of weeks. Good habits can be hard to start but easy to break.

My time away gave me a chance to re-think what I am trying to accomplish. When I reviewed the amount of data I had to plow through it was obviously not the proper approach. Too much stuff on a daily basis just adding to the pile. A watch list with over a hundred stocks just does not seem productive.

My current solution, only a couple of weeks old, is to consolidate the signals. Scan for daily signals where the stock has moved into a situation where all of the signals are positive. This list is then checked against the same scan but with a weekly basis. A daily signal confirmed by a weekly signal. So far the results look promising.

When I find the time in the next week or so I will provide the details of what I am now doing. This will provide me with an opportunity to settle the new stuff in my own mind. Writing things down helps. Also, once I am settled in with the new method I will post some of the scan results. For now though it is just time to let things gel.

The old bus crashed in the ditch and I am now picking up the useful parts and rebuilding to continue the journey.

Thank you for your time.

From famine to feast. A very long table below. Far too many to even look at for now. Start of another let up? I do not think so. As always wait and see.

New list doing okay. They are more waiting for tests than straight out signals. Off to look the world over.

JJ04 NEW WATCH LIST

Hello and welcome to my blog.

This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of the stocks discussed on this blog. Due diligence is your responsibility. If you need professional investment advice then find a professional.

What the heck, may as well find some new candidates to look at. There are only 3 new ones really. FTK, JTX, and S. There are 6 others that are carry overs from the old list. Will have to see what the future brings.

I have spent most of the day scanning and scrolling with only minimal results. Even the ones I have decided to look at are not that promising and more of a 'keep an eye' style versus a 'look at that' situation. I think this is indicative of the general market and for the next couple of weeks I expect a bumpy ride to the downside. Just a feeling and nothing solid. Again, will have to see what the future brings.

Thank you for your time.

JJ03 Play: Box Step. BPOP chart.

Hello and welcome to my blog.

This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of the stocks discussed on this blog. Due diligence is your responsibility. If you need professional investment advice then find a professional.

I was scrolling the charts and BPOP caught my eye. It has a nice symmetry to it. Anyways, it illustrates the idea of box bottoms stepping down and box bottoms stepping up. It also shows the importance of waiting for the SLOPE and MA to confirm the signals.

Just a nice looking chart and no one knows how it will perform in the future. It will be interesting to watch what happens with the relationship between the closest orange box bottom and price. Stay tuned.

Thank you for your time.

JJ03 Play: Number of Positive

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Just playing with stuff. The chart below depicts the number of stocks with positive signals. This is new so the data base is small. However the recent drop shows that the number of candidates has been reduced.

Thank you for your time.

JJ03 Trade Sheet OCLS

Hello and welcome to my blog.

This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of the stocks discussed on this blog. Due diligence is your responsibility. If you need professional investment advice then find a professional.

The table below is what I am going to use for tracking individual trades. It is very basic and easy to create. This one is for the recent foray into OCLS. The importance of using a table like this is that it eliminates the guess work. 'Plan the trade' is the easiest way to say it. All of the noise that accompanies the markets does not matter, what matters is your own personal ability to make a decision and follow it through. A simple yes/no decision at each step helps to achieve this goal. As long as the answer remains yes then you are on the right track, even if you lose money on the trade.

1. Yes the stock gave a buy signal that I am relatively confident about.

2. Yes a STOP can be set that fits the buy signal.

3. Yes the STOP is within risk parameters.

4. Yes the trade size is set by money management principles.

5. Yes I can afford to lose and accept the fact that I can lose.

6. Yes I will place the STOP at the time of entry and honor it.

7. Yes a loss is part of the game, move on if proven wrong.

Assume wrong until proven correct.

Thank you for your time.

Table below with very few entries. Slim pickings and a possible rocky road ahead. All of the candidates on the watch list have been sent to the minors. I will continue to keep an eye on them to see if they can get off the mat. For now though it looks like it is better to be sitting in the stands than to be on the playing field.

Table below with very few entries. Ouch style down day today.

The list I have been watching is pretty much done. Almost all entries are now out of the game with the exception of COMS and UTSI. I will continue to keep an eye on the rejects but it is time to go scanning for some new candidates.

With OCLS I went from feeling darn to not so darn today. The low today was 2.02 with a close of 2.13. The loss cost would have been 470.00 instead of 170.00. So, feeling darn with the loss but feeling okay since a systematic approach was followed. Please realize that this is still only paper trading and no actual money is on the line. I consider this exercise as a warm up phase. And like it says at the start of the post find a professional if you need professional investment advice.

Thank you for your time.
