8/8/2010 10:50:58 PM A little frustrated by my recent inability to get equal long and short trades placed, because I am waiting for a pullback or rise that does not come. Thus, I am going back to a simpler system – 1) buy at open, 2) set a 3% stop loss and a 6% profit target, 3) close all trades by end of trading on Friday. LONG plays for this week (4 for Monday): ABMD STAA CRR ABV SHORT plays for this week (4 for Monday): PXP AUXL RGLD ZLC Let's see how this goes - this is basically what I did in the beginning, but I used stops based on the ATR(10). |

8/9/2010 10:35:24 AM In at the open on all 8 trades - easy to do when you are paper trading! I will most likely wait till the end of the day to put stops in - last week I got hit too quickly on them. If any are more than 3% down from the open at the end of the day, I'll close them out as if they were stopped out. |

8/11/2010 3:54:08 PM Will close out 4 trades at the end of the day today: Longs - STAA and CRR Shorts - ZLC and PXP These are the top winners (the shorts) and the top losers (not surprisingly, the long plays). Will close out at wherever they end up today for a small gain on these four. Will review filter results tonight and probably fill these orders with new trades for Thursday and Friday. |

8/11/2010 4:08:42 PM An interesting paper on Momentum..... via the Woodsheder, who has been known to lurk these boards. Keep up the good work. It might be interesting to you Kevin, he has a blog on I bank coin . com. He build system trading platforms. ++++++++++++++++ I have read the paper already (no, honestly) ... it was one of several that helped me to form the basis of my 401k investment strategy. I had not seen his blog, which I will definitely be reading. The idea of momentum (or relative strength versus the broader market) providing sustained returns over time has been demonstrated in markets all over the world in across many different trading environments and timeframes. While it runs counter to the Efficient Market hypothesis, it nonetheless seems to be real - no reason not to make money from it if you can. |

8/11/2010 10:11:57 PM I am not sure if I will put in any new trades to replace the four exited today – lots of possible long plays, but not a lot of short plays to pair them with. My current thinking is as follows: Potential Long Plays for tomorrow: GET - Gaylord Entertainment IVN – Ivanhoe Mines Ltd and possibly CPX – Complete Production Services (testing a new set of Bollinger Band-based filters for this call) Potential Short Plays: Not a lot to choose from – most of the short plays are actually the 2x inverse ETFs, which would at least be a good thing for the long plays! Anyway, from the stocks that did show up on my composite short filter I would probably choose BAX – Baxter Scientific CYPB – Cypress Biosciences And keep an eye on EMIS – Emisphere (this is from another BB-based filter set I am developing for short plays that gives great results back-testing since 1/1/2007 – about 84% win rate and average return of 3-4% in about 5 days). Frankly it all depends on where the futures and numbers are in pre-market tomorrow. 50/50 chance I'll just let the 4 remaining trades play out as they will. |
