Question about KISS STS tables and my answer

    I received this logical question from one of you about the KISS STS tables and I answered it. However, I'm reposting it here as some of you may have had the same or similar questions

    • Hey Matt, I hope you and you’re family are well.
      I am wondering if a new STS could be viewed as a signal for a new entry?
      I appreciate your efforts.

    • Hey Jonathan, so you are referring to a situation where the KISS system has been long already for a while and there's a new STS? 
    • Yes and no, it's always trickier to enter into a trend that has already been going on. Some things I would look at are, what % away is price from the STS, if it's like 15% or more that's pretty wide and riskier.  I would suggest looking at the stock in your own charts, look at the daily, look at a 60 min, 2hr, maybe 15 min, and see if it makes sense, if there's some sort of pattern, or maybe a tigher stop  you could employ over the STS such as just below trendline, or MA, or higher low something like that also, I'm not sure if you were aware, but you can sort the STS % away from price from the tables - you can sort any of the tables by clicking on the header columns.
    • I know personally some guys will sort this and find ones  where price is VERY close to the STS such as 1% away, their feeling is that the stop is tight, if it gets hit not big deal, and if not they have a good risk reward. Still however I would always suggest having a look at the stock in you charts like I said above. here's as short I did from the S&P 500 stock lists, you can see a big list of ones that are extremely close to their STS

    Good answer!
