7/17/2008 10:35:00 PM chetron...that is so unfair and misinformed...I won't even respond !!! I'll just chalk it up to YOU being relatively NEW here and not appreciating the fact that... ...we've been down this "RIGGS ROAD" of... ...CAP LOCK THREAD TITLES... ...BLUSTER...accompanied with RIDICULE... ...AND...outright MISREPRESENTATIONS (and I'm being kind)...a thousand times before !!! ---------------------------------------------------------- At some point...one has to decide whether they want to turn a blind eye and let the charade go on (as apparently YOU have chosen to do)... ...OR...instead... ...offer an OBJECTIVE viewpoint...(as I and a few others HERE at SF have chosen to do)... GLTY !!! Regards, alf44 |

7/18/2008 1:21:59 AM Maybe I indeed am an idiot but I'm going to ask this anyway: arby347 7/1/2008 11:14:58 PM ---------------- If this were indeed a long screen, and the idea was to buy on a pullback, would we not be looking for this in the MACD instead? 2 days ago weekly MACD Histogram(12,26) ABOVE weekly MACD Histogram(12,26) 3 days ago and 1 day ago weekly MACD Histogram(12,26) ABOVE weekly MACD Histogram(12,26) 2 days ago and weekly MACD Histogram(12,26) BELOW weekly MACD Histogram(12,26) 1 day ago That seems more likely to return stocks trending upwards and showing that one tick down...no? All I know is that changing those around sure made things look a lot clearer, both in the long and short versions. FT |

7/18/2008 1:49:47 AM For the weekly trend I am looking for when it reverses its slope from . Negative to positive. I am using this as the first screen. It seems to work. In his 3rd screen, the one used for determining entry, Elder takes his 2-day force index, waits until it goes below zero, followed by going above zero. If that happens then he says to enter when the price exceeds the high of the previous day. FT, is that what you are trying to do? |

7/18/2008 1:56:12 AM Oh, I forgot: Unless someone has a better way to code this, I would add this line to the filter: weekly MACD Histogram(12,26) < 0 This would ensure that the reversal is coming from negative territory |

7/18/2008 2:17:40 AM I'm looking at this as a continuation rather than a trend reversal. I'm looking for this filter to identify a pullback or throwback based on an opposite tick to the long-term trend, i.e., daily declines as presenting buying opportunities in a longer-term uptrend, daily rallies indicating shorting opportunities. And I temporarily took out the line you mentioned as I realized that was applicable more for trend reversals than continuations. |

I DON'T KNOW HOW NEGATIVE YOU WANT TO BE. OF COURSE IF YOU WANT TO BE REALLY NEGATIVE, THEN YOU WOULD WANT THE FAST AND SLOW BELOW 0 ALSO, ABOVE 0 AND IT IS JUST A PULL BACK. |

7/18/2008 9:57:42 AM WITH ALL THE FOOT STOMPING ALFS BEEN DOING TO RUIN AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE THREADS ABOUT THE ELDER RAY, I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THE INDICATOR IS " MAGIC ". THE FEAR THAT ALF HAS THAT ANYONE WHO LEARNS THE ELDER RAY INDICATOR WILL BE TAKING AWAY THE ONLY EDGE HE HAS LEFT. IT MUST BE ALF'S "MRI' INTO THE MARKET. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO STARTING READING UP ON THIS, BECAUSE IF IT IS THIS IMPORTANT TO ALF, IT'S GOT TO BE A "HOLOGRAM" ******************************************** Finally someone ELSE in this forum has the GO-NADS to voice his disgust toward this "unfair, misinfored" CLOWN (ALF). Can you believe him?...did he say "chetron's" post was "unfair" and "misinformed?" Boy, if that ain't calling the kettle black, I don't know what is? Nice going "Chet"...I always knew I wasn't the only bully hater in the community! RIGGS |

7/18/2008 11:04:35 AM FT, I was going to say that you could keep the rest of my filter as written and make the MACD > 0, then youmight be closer to what yu are looking for: a pullback, but not a reversal. Thanks Chetron for your enhancement. Maybe in today's market place, a reveral from below 0 will give a big bang. (Elder, I think prefers this approach all the time). Later on, after sustained rallies, buying into strength from pullbacks would be more productive. |

7/18/2008 6:50:02 PM Thanks, folks. I'm finally seeing what I've been looking for. Here's what I'm using on the short side to screen. The LRC helps spot the trend quickly. There're multiple WR% and FI plots as I'm still hashing through old charts in manual backtests, studying to see how they behave. I also have the volume, price criteria set as is because I want the optionable stocks that will likely come back with a reasonable spread. Sorry for the confusion earlier, Arby; I should have stated from the beginning that I was trying to get to a pullback/throwback screen rather than a trend reversal. Revising the long screen as well, but I'm not sure when that'll be safe to let out of the basement. Again, thanks folks...specifically you, WSG. FT |
