10/18/2009 1:19:15 AM Kevin, Thanks for the help! Unfortuantely, I still don't get any hits! Maybe it has something to do with the way I setup my watchlists? I don't know. I tried both watchlist options:Portfolio and Advanced Filter Matching. No change. I then tried the filter on two different browzers: Firefox and Internet Explorer. Same results, nothing. I wonder if it might have something to do with the fact that my subsciption is at the Standard level? I don't get it. It's got to be something real simple. I'll fool around with it some more and try to get a hold of someone at StockFetcher. I really appreciate your efforts. Cheers, mike . |

10/18/2009 8:14:20 AM My subscription is at the standard level - that can't be it. Make sure that you are referring to them correctly typos would cause that problem as well. If you have created a new watchlist set using the stocks I found to be optionable, and gave it another name, use that name and not IBD1, ... Also run a debug on your filter if you are not using the one I posted (which seems to work right now). |

10/18/2009 8:29:06 AM Kevin: I understand you stopped buying new stocks using the strategy? or you just waiting for the market to move up again then continue your strategy? are you still updating your stocks according to their ratings? ++++++++++++++++++ a24ali: Yeah, I came to a crossroads (cashwise) about two weeks ago - the system required me to commit to another 12 stocks at $1000 per stock, with about $25K already in the system at that time. I was growing concerned that I had too much long exposure going into October. Also, the yield to date at that time was weak - about 1-2% after six weeks, nothing to write home about, but it has rebounded since then. This approach is playing out exactly as it had backtested - so far it is 11 for 11 on profitable trades, averaging 14.8% per trade. This is better than historical results of 80.1% wins and 9.25% yield per trade (backtested on 1020 completed trades from 2005 through August of this year) but the at only 11 trades the current sample size is too small to make a statistically valid comparison just yet. However, there are many ways to invest/trade, and I am interested in looking at other strategies as well (see my 5% a week filter thread as an example). To answer your second question, I am not updating the list currently, because these really shouldn't have dropped too much given the continued rally - the only component that may have shifted is their acc/dist rating, (and in the case of ACOR any momentum rating has been thrown about quite a bit). |

10/18/2009 9:57:05 AM Kevin, I figured it out. It works as advertised now. The fix was so simple, I'm embarrassed to say. Let's say operator error. I wasn't inputting the the symbols properly. Thanks again, mike |

10/20/2009 11:38:05 AM Hi Kevin, The market seems like it is entering into a 'correction' phase, and ROVI - your screen's top pick right now - seems to be pulled down with it. I don't know if the question has been asked to you before, but In cases like this when the S&P has hit a high, would you advise going ahead and buying your screen's top pick (against the grain), or is it better to wait until the market overall (S&P) dips? --- As well, can you create a backtest and give us the results to determine which move is better? I would predict that it's better to have the force of the S&P behind you, versus against you, which would lead me to avoid buying ROVI for another 3-4 weeks (2nd week of November 2009). What do you think? Thank you Kevin. |
