5/10/2013 8:09:34 PM Look for the book by author, Toni Turner, "A Beginner's Guide To Day Trading Online". She writes in a style that you can comprehend and grasp very nicely. She approaches the subject in a way that makes you feel she really wants you to be successful. This book and other investing titles she has written are found in established book stores across the country. Also try Googling her in the internet under her name, Toni Turner. Hope this helps. |

5/10/2013 8:01:39 PM Investing in stocks can be very frustrating when even though you have done your homework, crossed your T's and dotted your I's as far as finding a sound, strong company, in fundamentals, and having the right technical elements in expecting a very good chance to see a rise in it's stock price, yet after you buy its stock shares you see its share price plummet like a rock for no apparent reason. Things happen behind the scene that makes even the most sound investment seem fragile. But, if you buy multiple companies using the same sound stock picking methodologies against a positive stock trading atmosphere you are hoping that you get at least 66 2/3% win success. And your loss in dollars are not greater than your grand total investment. Creating filters that will give you the winning edge is quite the challenge. Where you think a particular filter looks so good that it can not fail turns on you and kicks that theory out the door sure makes us eat humble pie from time to time.. The human emotion factor comes into play most often and does create situations where you either don't make the money you should have, or you could have saved a bunch of money by exiting earlier than you did, from a particular filter. Knowing how to control your emotions in deciding when to enter the market and when to exit the market equates to big money. Pay attention to news events that would create stock trading problems or opportunities, pay attention to the SPY (S&P 500), and QQQ (Nasdaq). If they are going up, in a happy investing atmosphere that should spell green light for you to do the same. On average there should be 4 ripe opportunities to play the market inside each year. Have a financial plan. Know how much money you need on each transaction to make money. Every stock price dictates a different investment situation. With all these variables involved creates quite a bit of mind involvement on your part. Maybe this is why we love being involved in this exciting stock investment game. Good luck to each of you, happy investing! |

5/10/2013 1:58:04 PM If a member here does have a problem, they can access SF support people via their email address they provide. SF support staff normally answers the problem / question pretty quickly. Many of us instead present the question in the Forum first and if the response is not to the questioner's liking he or she then can go to SF's email support address. Or the member can access the data file archives (via the Forum search window) to see if their problem has been addressed before and answered. Use that previous communication to answer their question. Their has been a few times on here I forget to use the archived data and that's my fault. |

| Backtesting Support · Backtesting results overly pessimistic? | |
| marine2 msg #113260 |
5/10/2013 12:40:43 AM I have tried using the Trailing Stop Loss and none of my favorite filters were left looking good. The results were bad and made me never to use it. Now that you say this about the results come later after the fact it now makes sense why the results look so bad. It would seem if you create a filter for example that finds stocks that are accelerating over a number of days and you implement this Trailing Stop Loss feature it would get you out immediately when it hits your desired Trailing Stop Loss figure. Thus minimizing much negative results. Not the case here. |

| Backtesting Support · Enter of trigger day, exit at open next day | |
| marine2 msg #113252 |
5/9/2013 5:40:37 PM Why is it when I go into the "exit" tab and only state I want to exit on the 30th day and find out there are X amount of stocks that remained open? My intention is to have everything close on that 30th day. |

5/9/2013 5:36:01 PM Yes, where is Dr. Backtest when we need him? More explanation on those two areas are needed in understanding what those two areas mean to us and to the filter we are backtesting. It would be nice in the future if we could touch the heading of those two subjects with our mouse curser and it would give us a detailed definition / explanation to each of them. SF, can you work on this for us? Better transparency in some of these bells and whistles would go a long way in the quality of the tool we have before us. Granted, you may have an explanation in your main nomenclature document file we can download, but, for ease of obtaining this information, it would be better to acces its reason for its usage for us would be to have it available on the page we are at (i.e. backtest results). |

5/9/2013 5:17:18 PM Optionplayer, you should be listed on Fortune 500 as one of the richest people in America. Make sure when they identify you you mention your a.k.a. ("Optionplayer333"). That way we can say, hey I know that guy. When you hit that status, I'll get back to you. :-) Have a great day! |
