Mike: I trade RDN regularly so it's on my trading list. It was consolidating in my Booya buyzone + ema100 for the past two weeks. I looked for the breakout on the 2hr- chart, I actually saw it rumbling yesterday....hth

JP, can I ask a dumb question? When you say you use a 2 hour chart, is that simply a chart where each price bar (candlestick) represents a single 2 hour period? I don't think I have any software that does that.
thanks

After getting a bit beat up with S&P 500 & Oil futures I thought I'd come back and check out the stocks. I was surprised to see this thread is still alive.
I ran RFR and took the first stock with > 1 million shares which was MNI. I set up a 5min & 1min chart and saw a 1-2-3 topping pattern just after the open. So I went short and it has went down 40 cents, that's 8%. Amazing.
I'm curious what entry criteria you guys are using? I basically look for reversal patterns on a 5min or 1min chart. Like 1-2-3, double top/bottom, etc.
I don't remember what the going green means. I'm used to doing some kind of breakout / reversal trades.
Here's a chart:

If anyone has traded both futures & stocks I'm curious which you prefer. I think there's a bigger edge in stocks.

I'm confused by a tiny piece of the code from the 10 Percent Pops per Week filter on the 1st page...
set{A10A, count(Long_Profit > .10 , 1)}
set{chg, sum( A10A - A10A 1 day ago ,5)}
add column chg{(wk)}
add column chg 1 week ago{(-1wk)}
What is the "chg" trying to calculate? I thought it was just adding up the number of 10 percent pops in the last 5 days, but then wouldn't it just be...
set{chg, sum( A10A ,5)} ??
Why is it subtracting A10A 1 day ago from A10A?
Thanks (probably to Chet :), and sorry for the confusion.

chg is the number of pops over the last 5 days.
I don't remember why I used " - A10A 1 day ago".
It may have had something to do with the way SF was calculating/counting.
Or it could be a mistake!!
Good question.
I added the chgx column which is set{chgx, sum( A10A ,5)}
Will have to take a look and see which is correct.
Thanks.
