MessageDMC,
Here we respectfully recognize WON as the person who put us on this specific
investing track. He is one of many of our teachers. Respect and idolatry are
very different.
As I suggested, there are many aspects of trading. Some of the folks here are
extremely new to CANSLIM. They struggle with the simplest aspects of the
methodology including reading simple price/volume action in a chart, spotting
rises and bases, support and resistence, etc. They struggle with understanding
the difference between an EPS rank and EPS quarter over quarter. They struggle
with understanding the difference between an RSLine and and RSRank. They
struggle with understanding how to go about finding stocks for their watchlist
using CANSLIM parameters. As all of us were beginners at one time, the beauty of
a list like this is that it provides a safe environmnent where one can come and
ask questions and those who've been there can help. I wish the list had been
here when I was a beginning CANSLIMer. It would have saved me a boatload of
mistakes (and tuition).
Others are not new to CANSLIM, they have the basics under control, but they
still struggle with sell rules. They might be struggling with determining which
are the key elements of mining for stocks, which order of importance to place
on them, etc. They have built a personal knowledgebase built on years and years
of trading in the CANSLIM style and know where minefields and pitfalls tend to
be, but low and behold discover new ones in a Bear Market. They question their
own assumptions, they ask for help, they pose questions as to whether the
underlying assumptions are still valid. They share their experiences with
trading this particular methodology. And without a doubt they read and study
each and every day. They may start with 20 pages in HTMMIS, but their libraries
are filled with books on market cycles, technical analysis, value investing,
growth investing, mechanical systems, market history, etc.
But they come here to discuss CANSLIM and share their experiences with CANSLIM
investing based on what they've learned.
Stay on track. There are nearly 800 voices on the list.
Katherine

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] elder and triple screens
Katherine & 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!
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

Subject: [CANSLIM] elder and triple screens
DMC,
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
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.
Thanks,
Jeff H.

Subject: RE: [CANSLIM] a random thought
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.

Subject: RE: [CANSLIM] a random thought
Hi Jeff,
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.
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.
Katherine

I was thinking that accumulation/distributor indicator seems to be a
valuable tool if there is a lot (for lack of a better term) of institutional
sponsorship. What do y’all think?
