Hi Chris,
I agree with you on the vague nature of WON's sell rule and it's the =
reason that I was happy to have found these additional criteria. A stock =
could easily rise 70% above the 200dMA, but if the price behaves as you =
would expect, you'll see mostly accumulation days and the 200dMA will =
rise with the price. That would be a good stock in my book!
I keep 3 kinds of records related to buying and selling. First, I have a =
buy and a sell checklist. All the appropriate items have to be checked =
before I'll buy. When a sell rule is hit, out it goes. (The rubberband =
rule, along with a couple of others are what I call "warning" sell =
rules. I do not sell unconditionally on this trigger alone.) Second, I =
make a notation in my trading journal that will state my general reason =
for buying/selling along with other general observations about what is =
going on that might have affected the decision. What I'm trying to do is =
keep a record of my "mental state" when buying/selling. (The journal =
itself contains more than buy/sell info.) Third, a printout of the chart =
on the buy and sell date. Here I'll highlight all the appropriate =
technicals, making note of industry RS and other things that don't show =
on the DGO chart. The buy and sell charts get stapled together and put =
into a trading journal. All of these things allow me to go back on a =
regular basis and find weaknesses. It is through these kinds of reviews =
that I am able to enhance a strategy, find errors or identify my hot =
buttons. Believe me, there's plenty of those to contend with!=20

Katherine,
Thanks for the idea. Sell rule 34 has always bothered me. "Some stocks =
can be sold when they are 70 to 100% above their 200-day. This in many =
instances seemed to soon. This looks like it will help determine which =
stocks. Have you done any analysis of you trades to determine the =
accuracy of this formula.
What records do you keep when you buy and sell a stock?
Chris

Subject: [CANSLIM] PECS
Just so you guys don't blame this one on the "IBD curse"...
Here's a good example of the "Rubberband Sell Rule" in action:
PECS B/O on 11/14.
Rubberband Sell Rule:
If all three of these criteria are met, be prepared to sell, as the =
price
can fall 15-25%:
(1) >125% above the recent base low AND
(2) >70% above the 200 day MA AND
(3) >25% above the 50 day MA.
For PECS intraday 12/5/01 when P was $40.12:
(1) recent base low $12.50, +221%
(2) 200dMA $19.23, +108%
(3) 50dMA $24.51, +64%.
Based on that, on 12/5 price, your choices were:=20
(1) Sell all or portion of position
(2) Intend to buy back as it returns to intermediate term trend
(3) Move on to another position
12/6 was a distribution day, the first in its advance.
This morning an analyst downgraded to hold based on valuation, stock =
gapped down on open.
So, depending on your choice, the next rule to kick in is the WON =
rule for stocks moving up >=3D20% within 8 weeks after breakout:
If a stock does this, hold on through the first correction.
If you make this choice, you then just have to watch that the IT =
trend is not violated as it makes its correction.
If other sell rules kick in, out it goes.
Katherine
