|Can you say a little more about "support and resistance" trading? Dave|

Hi Dave, I believe it is key to know what the trend is (sideways, up, =
down).

If in Trading Range:
 =20
Long=20
a) when going long and the stock is rangebound -  buy at a prescribed =
amount above the support point.   Place stop just below support point.
b) sell when stock price approaches resistance.

Short=20
a) when shorting and the stock is range bound  - short at a prescribed =
amount below the resistance  point.  Place stop just above resistance =
point.
b) cover when stock price approaches support.

For Pullback trading in Trending market:

Long=20
a) when going long and the stock is  pulling back in an uptrend -  buy =
at a prescribed amount above the support point.   Place stop just below =
support point.
b) sell if price can not penetrate previous high, otherwise let your =
profits run.

Short=20
a) when shorting and the stock is rising (correcting) in a downtrend - =
short at a prescribed amount below the resistance  point.  Place stop =
just above resistance point.
b) cover if price can not penetrate next support level, otherwise let =
your profits run.


For Breakout strategies: (If support or resistance levels are broken or =
you anticipate they will be broken):

Long
a) when going long and the stock is in an uptrend - buy at a prescribed =
amount above the resistance point when price penetrates resistance with =
stop just below resistance.
b) sell if price can not penetrate next resistance level otherwise let =
your profits run.

Short
a) when shorting and the stock is in a downtrend - short at a prescribed =
amount below the support point when price penetrates support, with stop =
just above support.
b) cover when  price can not penetrate next support level, otherwise let =
your profits run.=20

Now it's time to get a bag of freshly popped popcorn and check out some =
movies:

3) Come Into My Trading Room - Dr. Alexander Elder - $35.00
4) Methods of a Wall Street Master - Victor Sperandeo - $14.95
5) Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets - Stan Weinstein - =
$19.95
    We had Dallas workshop on Stan Weinstein's Method at the end of 2001
    (gosh, it doesn't seem like it was that long ago), I'll dig around =
my archives=20
    to locate the workshop notes and forward them to you at a later =
date.

Hope this helps,
Gene
