How many of the new people are paper trading? Using play money, try to =
follow the rules for buying and selling. If you had been doing that for =
a while you would probably see why it's not a good time to be buying =
stocks. After your paper trading seems profitable, you could start with =
real money, a small amount per position, and see what it feels like to =
follow the system. It feels different with real money on the line, and =
your feelings are what you have to overcome.

How do you find buy candidates? Use a scanning program and find stocks =
that have hit a 52 week high close. If you want to only buy =
cup-with-handles, then evaluate the pattern. Check RS, EPS rank, EPS =
growth. Pretend (paper-trading, remember) that you buy the next day at =
the open, buying with 10% of your play money portfolio. Keep track of =
your trades in a spreadsheet. If your loss in a stock hits 7%, =
pretend-sell.=20

There's more to CANSLIM than finding the stocks. You have to put money =
on the line, control greed and fear, and try to follow what the market =
is telling you.=20
