Robert, Here is a twist. I would like a scan the looks for the companies with earnings for the current week and/or month that pulls all the information into the scan columns that shows up in the Eagle Eye earnings script.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion

mtut, I am doing the same. I would be interested in the setup you mentioned. I am trying to figure out which charts would correspond using the big chart mindset. What I mean is, the signal charts are 5, 8, 10, 21 for getting in using GW's 21, 34, 55. If I am using the 89, 144, 233, & Daily, what would the corresponding E signal charts be? I am testing the 13, 18, 20, & 21 today to see hoby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
You guys are the greatest! mtut, please do show me the code. I am not great at writing code but I can figure out how to alter it once I see it. TCB, I will immediately apply the code you have provided. I hope you do not mind my requesting mtut's code as well. I not lazy, I just need assistance getting off the ground. Thanks a bunchby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
mtut, Thanks for the help. The E signal consists of three simple MA's: 5, 10, 20. I would like to know when the 5 & 10 cross the 20 going up or down. I would like to monitor the daily time frame. When the lines cross near the same time is fine. Once I get the code I probably can tweak it but I just do not know where to start.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
mtut, I use SD but I am very, very technically handicapped. How does one setup the alerts as you have above. I would like to setup a daily E signal alert for multiple stocks I track for W&O.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
Great description rookie30. I do have a couple of questions though. I am not familiar with all the acronyms you used. What is DM? Also, please explain "a break on my previous day's high or low" and what are the 4 charts that you use? Thanks, rebwaynby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
BCT, Thanks for the clarification. rebwayneby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
BCT, "the wick of a candle hits the 20 day MA and the daily indicates a trade up" Does the wick touch the 20 DMA on the daily or the weekly in this example?by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
TWC 9/17/13 Trade I actually entered this trade as a 5 minute play off of the 5 minute chart on 9/16/13 expecting to be out of the trade early this morning. The mistake I made was in buying the Oct 120 calls. Even though the stock rose $1.57 by 11:20, the market maker moved the bid down and the ask up such that there was a 60 cents spread for most of the time the stock was rising. The bidby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
rookie30, Great post. I too want to trade well. GW says, "You get to choose you." I have been blessed with good jobs over the years but when I have tried to climb higher from my position, someone was always chosen over me. It did not matter that I had better qualifications and more education. I am not bitter about that because it has made me realize how great an opportunity I have withby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
BCT, I looked at the MA trade referenced above. Here is what I see: the weekly candle opened on 9/3 above the previous week's candle by about $6 and by 9/5 there would have been a white candle roughly half the size of the completed candle (stock up about $23) but no FP or HRFP on the weekly chart. The +DI line may have been turning up at this time but the other indicators are down to neutral. Seby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
BCT, That helps a lot. Thanksby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
You've got that right about the market makers. They seem very reluctant to move the bid even when the stock is soaring. The crazy thing about it is that it will soar in the early morning and then fall back by noon so they could make it both ways if they were not being so greedy. Thanks for the advice.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
Thanks for the info rookie30. I am about learning all I can that does not cause me to stray from the fundamentals taught by GW. I really appreciate the part about being disciplined enough not to do another trade once you have gotten out. I will hold that nugget because it will probably save me many dollars and much anguish.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
Thanks all, I can see exactly what you all are talking about and that is very helpful. One question, GW says buy ITM if you expect a small move and OTM if a large move. Is that how you decide or do you have other criteria. Also, I have been watching a stock on which the bid is often not moved when the stock gaps up by over $1 although the ask is. Sometimes the spread between the bid and ask is asby rebwayne - Trading Discussion
Mtut, Thanks for the screen shot. Can you explain why you use those particular indicators? Is it just stock specific intimate knowledge or are those particular candle patterns of note? I look for at least a 2.5% move so that I can do Widows & Orphans as ugly as possible to prove 5% per month is doable.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
I did find a post that explained it very well. I have set up the charts with these indicators and see very clearly what the "E" is. Thanks for your patience in explaining it again!!!by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
How can I learn about the "E" indicator that is mentioned so much.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
Please keep posting. I am listening and learning.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
I am doing real trades in W&O keeping in mind that during the summertime trading zone it is easier to trade stocks because it is so choppy. GW says, "Take what the market gives you how it gives you." So I will take 2.5% stock trade twice if necessary to get the 5%. Since my basket is small, I am using stocks that don't move as much as I would like so it is more profitable to trade tby rebwayne - Trading Discussion

Hi BCT, I am relatively new to the forum but appreciate your post. Do you use an action chart when using the 233 and if so, what is it? Also, what are the indicators that you are using, e.g., MA's, MACD, etc. I would like to trade less and be in plays longer. As we approach the "fat of the year", I want to make sure I ride the trend as long as possible.by rebwayne - Trading Discussion
