nodoodahs said...: Actually, your entire trading strategy is based on technical analysis. Not that that's a bad thing, but technical analysis IS the examination of price and volume action without regard to the fundamentals of the underlying company ... i.e., son of double trouble.; Jun 19, 2007, 8:58:00 PM
Pradeep Bonde said...: In other news technical analysis has also discovered cure for cancer and if you use the right technical analysis tools you can also increase your bust size if you are female and pecker length if you are male. Technical analyst just keep expanding their definition to claim everything under the sun as technical analysis.; Jun 19, 2007, 9:05:00 PM
walter said...: how would we describe these scans? what kind of analysis is it?; Jun 19, 2007, 9:16:00 PM
walter said...: i guess it is just what it is... its a system. technical/fundamental dichotemy is not useful here...; Jun 19, 2007, 9:19:00 PM
fivepercentstocks said...: I like SNHY a lot- should have come up on my radar before the divvy was announced, don't know what happened there. I am going to follow your rules for my long portfolio tomorrow and depending on the action may add the position on the blog. Love it.; Jun 19, 2007, 10:06:00 PM
Richard said...: Good evening,
Would you be so kind to post the TC formula for the 1% scan?
Thanks,
Andy; Jun 19, 2007, 10:23:00 PM
nodoodahs said...: TA doesn't cure cancer or look at cash flow statements, or income statements. It also doesn't look at the positions of the sun, moon, or stars, or have cosmetic medical effects. It does, however, encompass all techniques based solely on price and volume analysis. Your TA may not be traditional, but it is TA.; Jun 19, 2007, 10:28:00 PM
Vishal said...: Pradeep, Thankyou for all the effort u put into this blog. I always had "earnings blowouts" as a strategy and made some money on it, but the clear, concise methods u have described in this blog are PURE GOLD.

Cheers
Vishal; Jun 19, 2007, 10:40:00 PM
Anonymous said...: i agree with Vishal, this blog is Pure Gold, i had read so many finance blogs, TA blogs ect and putting all of them together,none made ME a decent return based on their ideas, however, since i started reading and APPLYING pradeep concepts, i had started making more and consistent return on my investments..so call it whatever TA, trading system, ect...but it MAKES ME MONEY LOL ,MY HAT TO PRADEED :p; Jun 20, 2007, 1:49:00 AM
Asaf said...: According to my real time quote, SNHY carries a really big bid-ask spread.
Bid ~ 21$, Ask ~ 47$.
Is that something that you would prefer to avoid?

Those things scare a little, no?; Jun 20, 2007, 6:01:00 AM
Pradeep Bonde said...: Walter
easy things are difficult to trade for many people..
They keep thinking there should be some more secret to it.

Thanks
You can further improve it by taking out of the 1% only the stock with negative days and entering them in anticipation. Try say stock should be in top 1% and last 3 days should be negative. Enter next day , liquidate when the stock makes 5% or plus move. That is how I intend to use this.

TA is tactics. One needs a strategy to succeed in market.

You are looking at after hours market, those bid ask are meaningless.; Jun 20, 2007, 6:20:00 AM
nodoodahs said...: I would suggest calling this "popcorn," because you're finding where the kernels are hottest and trying to catch them as they pop.; Jun 20, 2007, 9:08:00 AM
Pradeep Bonde said...: Name should ideally capture the essence of a concept. That way Virgin and Episodic Pivot do very good job. Many times I find better names after many months or days.; Jun 20, 2007, 9:52:00 AM
nodoodahs said...: You probably won't like this, but "Bull Flag Breakout" is descriptive.

You're looking for this:
http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:chart_analysis:chart_patterns:flag_pennant

With the flag limited to +10% gain in 22 trading days, and setting a cutoff for a very high run-up into the flag. Then you scan for breakouts.; Jun 20, 2007, 10:59:00 AM
Pradeep Bonde said...: It is not a question of liking or hating technical analysis. I have read every book on TA. Know more TA than many people who claim to be expert on TA.
TA is basically about tactics not about strategy. If you want to make 10-15% per annum, you use TA, if you are looking for higher returns, you need different strategies.
TA may be small part of a overall larger strategy. Take the IBD case, it works because stock selection is done based on earning momentum and price momentum. Those are statistically proven concept. Now chart pattern like Cup with Handle is small part of tactics used in the overall strategy of buying a high EPS , high Relative Strength, high margin, high ROE and many stock.
Less skilled speculators or those lacking in perspective just keep focusing on the chart patterns.; Jun 20, 2007, 11:16:00 AM
Calvyn said...: Hi,
I am a newbee to TA.. Can you suggest me some literature on the subject.
By the way, how many stocks do you scan every day to NOTICE a pattern.; Jun 20, 2007, 11:47:00 PM
Pradeep Bonde said...: http://stockbee.blogspot.com/2006/09/are-you-lost-in-technical-analysis.html

This is not pattern based trading blog.; Jun 21, 2007, 6:35:00 AM
Yellowmater said...: How do you set up the 2% ranking in tc? I know this is a basic question but could some help? I used this formula "365.25 / 135 * ((C - AVGC135 ) / AVGC135)" in easy scan for this same date and came up with a much larger list. Thanks; Jun 21, 2007, 8:37:00 AM
Pradeep Bonde said...: Did you set up
All stocks
Plus check if it was set to rank.; Jun 21, 2007, 8:51:00 AM
mgold said...: Pradeep, how much weakness on 3 days are you looking at in regards to entering in anticipation? Thanks!; Feb 3, 2008, 9:14:00 PM
Pradeep Bonde said...: Less than 4%; Feb 4, 2008, 12:59:00 PM
