Hi everyone,
I'm using TROs filter "got milk" which I combined with some of TROs other filters to get what i think i need. see filter below.

My question is would someone indicate which columns are the most important for picking the right stock. I only need one or two stocks to trade over and over like everyone suggests.

Would someone point me in the right direction? What do I really need to know?

Here are the columns i think are important, but i could be wrong."

1) I want up trend = 111,
2) I want dlxdl (had to chg letter from clxcl) to = -3 (to determine pullback),
3) I want rsi(2) = between 30-70
4) I want trading range = +$1
5) vol +$1 million
6) open,high,low, 1dayago close -- use the hi-open for horizontal lines and trapline (hi+open/2)
7) Select stats which show profit of .10, .20 to be abve 80%

also these items are part of my checklist
7) check earnings
8) close between 5 and 50
9) check aftermarket and premarket for gaps up/down
10) beta above 1
11) check industry/sector for hottest for month)
12) check news

Also since i'm trading an IRA account, I can't use margin to short. (bummer). have to trade long.
however I've heard about the inverse EFTs for a bear markets.
What's your thinking on inverse ETFs?

Thanks for your help

"RIght stock(s)"?

I am not sure why you made alterations.

AAPL and RIMM can be traded profitably.

SPF is great for small accounts.

What EXACTLY are you looking for?

To me, the most important columns are HiOp ( high - open ) and the statistics how many times that amount is above my dollar or percent target.

ALP:

SPF is NOT one of the stocks that you wait for the .10 buyzone!!!!

I am happy you made money.

SPF is a POPPER meaning it will pop 10% at least once a week on average. So you "wait for green" and enter. Then take your profit when you can. If you are not greedy, you can trade SPF almost everyday and make money.

TRO, how would be the best way to handle that one week pop as a swing trader? (at least for a trader that can't watch intra-day market)
Watch for the green using previos day mid cross? Or cross previos week mid or low?

Thx in advance.

===================================================

If you can't watch then you have to STOP in and have your SL and TP entered right after your entry.

For the pops, you need to know what your setup is ( like RIMM rsi(2) < 1 ) and what your trigger is ( RIMM open + .10 ).

If RIMM's rsi(2) is less than 1 today, tomorrow you enter at OPEN + .10 and set your TP and SL. Even better if you are FADING THE GAP.

You could use a cross above any of the previous week's values that you mentioned as your entry trigger, too.
