DD28 ADCT MetaStock Chart
This is just a quick test to see what the MetaStock chart looks like here. Oh the fuzzy chart. Click to enlarge but still fuzzy. Hmm. I will have to check into creating a non-fuzzy chart.
The following chart is of ADCT. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell this stock. Due diligence is your responsibility. If you need professional investment advice then find a professional.
This is the new picture that I now gaze upon. Must be careful not to become just a 'chart gazer' and also not to get trapped into thinking that MetaStock somehow holds the holy grail. Endless hours of coding and looking for just the perfect indicator. Learned long ago there is no such thing.
The ribbon at the bottom shows the information from the indicator. Orange down, green up, and gray for neutral. The price colors match the ribbon colors except when neutral, which are depicted as red for down and black for up. Very basic.
With "If my aunt had b-lls, she would be my uncle." in mind this would have been a good trade. If only if. The move from near the start of March until now is from about 3.50 to over 6. Not bad at all. Again, if only if.
My general goal is to work out a method for pulling out the situations where the color change is from orange to gray to green. Easy to say. Since I am still on the learning curve the details are still in the gelling state. It is also late so stuff will just have to wait until later.
MetaStock EOD was used to create the chart.
Thank you for your time.

DD27 Spreadsheet Link
The spreadsheet link for DD27 is below. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of the stocks listed. Due diligence is your responsibility. If you need professional investment advice then find a professional.
Orange down alerts coming into the fore, 21 in total. Only 3 green up alerts.
Still waiting to see if Dow 8100 becomes the area of unable to break on through.
I had a chance to climb a little higher on the learning curve with MetaStock. A few snags along with a few aha's. I still find the program kind of clunky, if that makes sense. Anyways, once I can cruise around with ease I plan to switch over to a signal that is slightly faster than the Alert.
It does produce a lot more signals and I will have to work out a way in which to streamline the procedures.
Thank you for your time.

DD20 Change to MetaStock
I finally upgraded my ancient version of MetaStock at the end of last week. This means I am back on a bit of a relearning curve. Really like their program even if I still find it a bit clunky. Anyways, will have to spend the next couple of weeks of spare time getting used to the new version.
Right now I am still using Wealth-lab off the web for scans and then entry into Excel. For now it is quicker to use the familiar than work out the new. So a little bit of double time to be spent ramping up and getting used to the MetaStock scanner and which buttons to push. I figure it will be pretty easy in about a week or so. Will put up a couple of charts when it is all said and done.
Thank you for your time.

For the Dow 8100 has so far set up as an upside resistance number. The longer term 81 day moving average also came into play near the 8100 level. Only a couple of days since turned away from this level and anything can happen. See what the future brings.
Thank you for your time.

DD03 Spreadsheet Link
The spreadsheet link for DD03 is below. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of the stocks listed. Due diligence is your responsibility. If you need professional investment advice then find a professional.
More green up alerts showing up and only a couple of orange down alerts. Thanks to the Gummy data download program the closing price is back in the spreadsheet. Nice because it provides an easy reference when back checking how well the signals have done.
I spent a bit of time looking at the other Gummy spreadsheets. In the modern world most would be considered old school. Available now in most online charting stuff. However it still has some interesting things to look at and makes you think instead of just clicking a couple of buttons. I hope to find some time to play with what he has provided and possibly incorporate it into what I am trying to do.
I am still stuck on signal tracking though and will go back to trying to find a solution. The up green alerts and orange down alerts are relatively easy to follow. They do not generate a lot of whipsaw signals. However the other signal I use, which is faster, generates a few too many whipsaws to follow without becoming overwhelming. My goal is to be able to track the watch signals with an eye towards when they move into the alert mode. I am sure there is a spreadsheet solution out there but I am still searching for it. Just another something to keep me busy and out of trouble.
Thank you for your time.

DD03 THANK YOU GUMMY (data grabber)
Thank you Gummy.
I went looking for a new way to get daily data and discovered the following site. http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm After a couple of tries I worked out how to get the data from Yahoo into the format I wanted. Thank you Gummy for providing such a beautiful excel spreadsheet.
Then I went looking at the other spreadsheets he has generously provided. The link is...
http://www.gummy-stuff.org/index.htm WOW. About one third down and on the left look for the 'chart' icon. This links to about 150 different spreadsheets. WOW. I have only had the time to marvel at the work that went into building these and the generosity to put them on the net. There are at least 5 of them that I plan to examine in detail, if not for other commitments I would be in front of this screen all weekend. I do not know if the ones I look at will be any good or not, I am simply looking forward to the adventure of playing with them. I sense though that there is some very valuable material buried inside them.
Thank you Gummy.
Thank you for your time.

I went surfing around looking for a new data provider. Found a site that has excel templates for the market. Will have to work them out on my own and get it all working. Some other interesting things on the site. I will post the link when I get some time.
Thank you for your time.
