MessageKatherine & Jeff,

First, I would agree with Katherine that a detailed discussion of what =
settings to use on different oscillators is afield from the purpose of =
the board.  I'd suggest you scope out the Silicon Investor sites as a =
starting point:

http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/sub_hot.gsp

As for generalized discussions of how to read charts, etc., what kinds =
of time-frames to look at, etc., I think that's what makes a good =
investor no matter what the approach.  It is an absolutely vital part of =
making a keeping profits.  In this approach, where you basically sit =
down with a scanning program that can spit out 10-12 names per day, it =
is vital to develop one's own discipline and chart reading ability.  =
Also, it's key to understand Gann, Fibonacci, Elliot, etc. if only to =
keep slick talk and slick reasoning from an extraneous source from =
pushing you into a speculative position with little else to support it.

Sometimes this thread reminds me of the church, where you want to ground =
your reasons in scripture.

(Holy Moly, we actually had a sighting--was it an epiphany?-on Kudlow =
and Cramer last night of the Great One, the one who goes by His =
Initials, His Nibs, WON.  I hope all the true believers tuned in for the =
sound bites).

Hokay, so, let me just cite pages 44-78 and 160-180 in HTMMIS as the =
basis for maintaining a broad interest in macro and micro charts and =
differing approaches.  What's almost laughable is the title of chapter =
15:  "How to Read Charts Like an Expert . . ."

In only 20 pages! =20

Jeff, in response to your original question, as a general matter, it is =
always best to look across time frames for confirmation that what you're =
looking at is what you're looking at.  If the micro trend (hourly) is =
good and the daily looks great, don't forget to check the weekly before =
you commit.  That is the gist (and the takeaway) of Elder, at least to =
me.  The most comprehensive treatment of triple screening technique =
(btw, you can get free triple screens on one page by using Stockcharts' =
gallery views) is Farley's "Master Swing Trader."  Not a recommendation =
quite yet but if you stumbled over a copy it might be worth it to read a =
few chapters.

When you're wondering if you should sell, again you need to check not =
only the daily price action but how it all fits into the weekly or =
monthly charts.  In the list of books I posted before was Murphy's basic =
text:  that will give you a good grounding in many, many topics.

  Hi Jeff and DMC,

  I feel that I need to speak up here.

  While I understand that there are many aspects to trading and that =
there are many that can influence and/or be used in CANSLIM investing, =
Elder triple screens, Elliott Wave theory, etc., have nothing to do with =
CANSLIM.

  Let's stay on course so that the folks who are here for a particular =
discussion and purpose, CANSLIM, are getting what they expect when they =
come here. I wouldn't go to a 5 star French restaurant for a fast food =
burger. I wouldn't expect to come to a CANSLIM list for broad trading =
discussions.

  Focus, simplicity, disclipline and a deep knowledge of the trading =
methodology are the hallmarks of Master Traders. Our purpose as members =
of this list is to develop that mastery.

  Katherine

    DMC,

    =20

    Thank you for the book recommendations!  I just read Trading For a =
Living and thought is was really informative.  I love his themes and dry =
humor on trading "losers", alcoholics and other psychological =
dysfunctions.  I loved what he said about treating trading psychological =
problems like you're in AA, "Good morning, my name is Alex and I am a =
loser.  I have it in me to do serious financial damage to my account." =
LOL

    =20

    Anyway, I have a question regarding his triple screens trading.  Has =
anybody used this technical analysis before, and if you have, did you =
find that one of the oscillators works better than the others?  I'm =
using a fast 5 day stochastic, but I think he really suggests his very =
own Force Index and Elder-Ray.  I was also thinking of adjusting his =
recommended stop losses to compensate for possible whipsawing.  Any =
suggestions?  I was thinking of a moving exit using 1.2 times the 10 day =
ADR and possibly switching over to the parabolic system during a runaway =
trend.

    =20

    Thanks,

    Jeff H.

    Katherine is quite correct about using the A/D to help identify =
stocks to consider and possibly add to one's portfolio.  I rely on =
setting up an alert and/or stop loss point using a trailing stop to =
protect my position profits.  Then, if we get stopped out of a position, =
we consider re-buying the position when the stock regains the stop loss =
point if the basic fundamentals and other technical aspects remain =
within our overall criteria.  If not, we pass on re-buying.

      Hi Jeff,

      =20

      In my experience, the A/D is a decent tool when buying into a long =
position (limiting buys to A, B or C) but it's a lousy indicator of =
tops. I remember in the March of 2000 that all the top stocks still had =
an "A" rating long after they'd crashed off their tops. The 13 weeks =
included in the indicator makes is a lagging indicator in my mind, too =
slow to catch the very near term price action in a stock that often =
triggers sell rules.

      =20

      The IBD says they don't see it as a lagging indicator and that it =
is one of their "fastest." Faster? Yes, faster than RS (52 weeks) or GRS =
(26 weeks), but not "non-lagging" in my opinion.

      =20
