    I'm confused, can anyone help?

    What I found is most screener sites as well as current data sites have a difernt percentage od reporting brokers. Meaning that different brokers have different reports and it is more an issue of which report is being used to generate the information. That said, each site tends to use a similar...

    Why no mention on here of the Russell 2000?

    I typically follow the russle with funds such as TNA and IWM and they do outperform with a strong dollar. If you look at TNA in particular you can see just how volatile this index really is. It is one of the best day swing tickers around though much harder to read well. So much so it has...

    Anyone own the TLT ETF?

    Should i sell most of my stocks or keep em?

    What I sugest is pick a fund or etf that remains stable and place all the money you dont want to risk in it/them. Keep aside a portion that you feel comfortable risking and play with it and develop a system that you feel good about working. Ive been liking PFF as a safe spot that returns decent...

    Trend Following

    I do a h/l and a l/h trend data sheet. Each sheet shows the current h or l to the h or l for the previous sessions. I found at least in recent data the trends last approximately 5-15 days. I display my trends as a percentile of the h or low depending on which sheet I am using. A percentile of...
