OK now I just bought TSYS at 5.08.
The RSI(2) is at 7
We will see if my beginner's luck is always with me.

P.S. I forgot to say to always place a stop loss order after buying a stock.

Looks like some price support in the 4.80 range for TSYS. Also, that is where 50% linear regression is at today. Hope you embark on very profitable trading!!!

P.S. Joe, your post suggest me a good idea. Yes I want some red in the 5 day offset for my entry point. I don't buy at the top. But why wait after red to buy the stock when it is a good time to go short for a day or 2? I have to study this opportunity but I don't know how to manage short signal yet.
================================================================================

It would seem to me that 2 separate scans would best serve your need.
Since momentum stocks are basically sinewaves, in that they undulate up and down fairly regularly, I would want the buy signal to come at or near the bottom and the go short signal at or near the top of the wave.
Hell, at this point I would just settle for a scanner that more or less hits on stocks with these sine wave like charts.

I gleaned these informations about TSYS on yahoo site.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TeleCommunication Systems, Inc.

Will it hold at $5?

I may reenter if this thing gets hit below $5. If it is able to hold above $5 for the day, anything under $5.10 looks pretty good.
I got lucky and sold around $5.85 expecting a "buy on the rumor, sell on the news" type of action, but I really didn't expect this big of a pullback. Support at $5 is obviously crucial.
This one is a good one to keep on your radar screen.

Some buyers are ready to reenter at the first sign of positive action of the stock. The news are good and I think it is just a temporary pullback.

Here is a little gem that mines those momentum stocks ... I believe it would be a great candidate for those good ole Darvas Box followers ...

Fetcher[High is less than 25 percent above the bottom linear regression line(60,1.25) and linear regression(10) slope crossed below 0 within the last 1 day and the 21 day slope of the close is above .25]



...any further enhancements are welcome !

Fare Well !

Sold TSYS at 5.49 for a little 8% gain in 3 days.
Kept the profit in that stock for my long term portfolio.

Bought PRFT at 3.10
The RSI(2) is at 4

This is another company who dropped on good news.
Will rebounce sooner or later.

Looks like PRFT raised FY03 guidance yesterday.
You did a good job with your FA and it paid off.

You mean to tell me RSI(2) is working? You made money using RSI(2)? Imagine that! LOL!!!

Nice work, fellow SFer.

MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.
