hope it works

I was playing around with this last night and tried some interesting twists.  Try creating 130 min bars (3 bars per day) and 195 min bars (2 bars per day).  I also modified the stochastic to from "close" to ((o+h+l+c)/4) to smooth out the ride.  Also, there is a paintbar study where I painted bars green above the 50 line and red below the 50 line.  Looks interesting FWIW.

Missed the 9-39 6 min cross on SRS

I tried to replicate rp's chart today with the same results.  No answer here, only confusion

Better have a monitor in the bathroom.

RP - I exited DRYS yesterday also from a swing trade.  I would be interested to know when you go back in.  I learn a lot from your posts, keep them comming.

Dodger, love your advice, but your charts are not useful to me because I don't subscribe to stockcharts.  Could you show .PNG?

Thanks

Ralph

Yea, crossed on the 10:06 bar. Also getting cross on the  SRS 9-39 6min.

MER is no more!  Neither is Wachovia.  Replacements have been named for the SP500.

A wise man once told me, "if you are going to prognosticate, prognosticate often"

I have figured out how to do moving average crossover strategies with end of day exits if anybody is interested. Email me.  You will need to call me it's complicated.

go to "format symbol"in the top tool bar. You can type in any timeframe.  Every time I use this program is a learning experience.

12/23/2008 EX date is the first day the stock trades without the dividend.  You needed to own the stock on 12/22 to be owner of record and receive the dividend.  This is by memory 21 years ago when I took my series 7.  Hope my memory is OK.

Michael - I am assuming you have Tradestation.  I had the same problem.  My 2 moving average indicator is EMA, however my Moving average cross strategy was SMA.  Make sure the indicator and the strategy are the same.  If you need help with the language, let me know.

A great end to the week...getting mooned bigtime!

matt, Have you found a way to program "exit on close" in Tradestation?

rp - love your commentary.  What I learn from you is your discipline.  You keep posting, I keep learning.

Ralph

I just got a sell signal at the end of the 12:45 bar on tradestation

Sound like a great idea.  Maybe Sun, Mon Tues.  One day of info while market is closed.
