Yes, I keep messing with TRO's nice work.
Here's my hacked version for shorting.
Remember, the filter has to be "Traded" None of these are blind picks where one just buys them and makes money.
With 3k it makes it very difficult to make money when considering the broker fee. Think about diversification and longer term holds. Take a look at TRO's original filter, it is pretty slick.

Thank you for taking the time to share your trading technique. If I understand, you place the stocks from the filter into a watch list monitor them after the open to find the ones which appear to be moving with the market and scale in if you are right. Is this correct?

leaddog,
That's correct on the filter/watch list. I don't scale in/out all the time, but most. (it increases the broker fee...)
Human behavior is such that unless we have "real" money invested, our attention will be less. I typically go into a position with around $10k. If things look like they are going my way, I'll double the position. If things start looking like they are going against me, I'll cut the position in half. Sometimes this will be a knee-jerk reaction, if a stock makes a quick move. It can recover quickly though....the bigdogs jerk us small traders around pretty well sometimes :)

Your comments re using WARM in NTRI for shorting are certainly encouraging but for those of us with very little disposable cash ($1K) shorting may not be the way to go. Do you feel that, without the WARM displays, there are enough other indicators in NTRI to be successful going long?

kanuk,
I'm not much of a long term hold person. Usually 3 minutes to 3 days is my goal.
If one takes the original NTRI filter (which is a long filter) from TRO and does backtesting on it over a long period, it is pretty impressive.
The NTRI filter is a trend filter, so one could diversify and possibly do quite well. As TRO say's "Anything can happen" and the stocks have to be traded. The filter is only part of the equation.
If one can get in with a good entry of one of these NTRI filter dollar stocks when they start taking off, this would be optimal.
....Trend is your friend
Best of success, it is not easy to make money.

Exactly where is TRO's original NTRI filter. I'm guessing that it's in this thread dated 3/10/2006 @ 8:57:34 PM. Am I correct?

Original filter......lol
Yes, there have been a few of them. Use the latest one you can find from TRO, or the one you mention. Most of the changes have been with the selection criteria or displays. I really like the WARM display chart, and trend chart.
Some of my posted derivatives of TRO's work include things that are specific to what I like. One can customize the filter to however one likes.

It's the first post of this thread.
Each week I update the filter by increasing the number of weeks by 1 so all stocks that were found the first week should still be on the list.
Did anyone see the picks this week?

"FREAK OF NATURE"... you have no idea how much that makes me laugh.
Which filter do I like best?
That's like asking a mechanic which wrench he likes best... you use the right tool for the job!
I wrote versions of the NEXT NTRI filter for pennies and subpennies. Give those a go and let me know if you like any of those picks.
If you really like the filter and are making money, feel free to put some of it in my PayPal account...lol.
