5/2/2003 4:06:37 PM wallman; thank you for the most interesting filter would adding "close 1% above low" insure the formation of a tail would close "decreasing for more than 2 days" catch 3 days, and 4 days and 5 days also i trade on the TSX and unfortunetly due too low volume and or capitalization i have not been able to tweak your system . any ideas or help is appreciated. |

5/2/2003 6:10:32 PM HI DEFGHA,thanks and your more than welcome...yes,adding close 1% above low should give you a tail,the reason i don't use it is because i want to see every match the basic filter brings up,because as i stated in an earlier post,if you do this long enough and keep some type of journal or your memory is good(mines not)then you will develop a "core" of stocks which are pretty deadly with the bottom bb bounce over the last couple of years,therefor if one of these matches again i may play it even without a tail,but i don't ever recommend that until you are very familiar with these stocks,and yes 2 days decreasing will catch 3 or more the last time i tried it,i just don't use it cause 2 down days never worked even near as well as three and it just gave me more charts to read,since i discarded 2 days anyway,for myself i didn't see the point,if you trade on the TSX and volume and/or cap is a problem then tweaking is a problem and i wish i could help but i have no idea......also i believe that it was your earlier post that requested i post my system that i used profitably for so many years,i will be glad to do that in a few days,it's just that it takes a lot more work to get the feel of it and i didn't think it would be of much interest,but i sorta thought that about this bb method and from the response i guess i was wrong.....so i'll try to get it out on a post this weekend, stay tuned...SEE YA |

5/2/2003 7:03:58 PM HEY DAB, i like your term "must open green" MOG for short,i've been interested in bb's for years and the one thing i can tell you after all those years that is ALMOST certain to me,is that if you play ANY kind of either beaten down and/or bottom bb method you better make sure you get a "running start" at the open,otherwise it can keep dropping for days if there is no buying interest out there,it seems to be a large but simple to use advantage to give yourself,many huge gains are started just by a little green at the open,if you watch for a few weeks you'll propably see what i mean......GOOD LUCK |

5/2/2003 8:25:09 PM HEY EVERYBODY, about 6 weeks ago i started adding the methods pics to a fake portfolio on clearstation.com to see what would happen taking these pics and trading them in the worst case scenerio i.e. NO stops and entering "blind" putting in market orders before the open,having no idea if they would open up or down,having no idea if they would open way above my 2-3% buy limit(many did by the way,giving up over 5% at the start of the trade)just typing in the symbols basically and letting em run,up or down,taking no profits and not replacing them with "fresh" picks,well, i don't check too often so when i checked them tonite i was amazed at how they have done so far(there were a few higher priced ones i threw in so i could fill the 40 max allowed port faster)if your not familiar with that site and you want to see how the picks did,here is how......go to CLEARSTATION.COM on the homepage and over in top left corner click on "recommend",then when you're on the recommend page go over to the top right to the "find a recommend list" box and type in "dabomz"(that's me)...i started it because i wanted to see what would happen if someone newer to the method started trading it and would make a few mistakes as it would be only natural to do so(i still make quite a few).......HAVE FUN,MUDDY |

5/2/2003 9:26:50 PM wallman i take good note of your comments. i will have to work harder on the TSX on the subject of your previous system, it was just intellectual curiosity and also two are better than one. as by my last post your bb system is fantastic...on us stocks. |

5/3/2003 11:39:11 AM Wallman, Appreciate, as I'm sure everyone does, your willingness to share your knowledge and wisdom with us. I have reviewed all the past posts and have a couple of questions. Once your stock has moved up to the 75% RSI level, you stated that you will continue to let it run as long as it opens up (green);however, you also will sell if it turns around on you. Any details on what that would look like, such as price drops below the previous days close, 1% below previous days close, etc. On buying first thing in the AM, you like to see it open green and then buy 15-20 minutes later (around 9:50) if the price isn't over 3% of previous days close. What if the stock opens green but by 9:50 is actually trading below the previous days close. Does this make it a no play or maybe an even better play? Thanks a million |

5/3/2003 12:02:26 PM Wallman, Another one if you don't mind. On your post to DAB on 4/30 you said you had also bought KOPN. When I look at that chart, it appears to have a very short shadow on bottom compared to top. If you see this also and played anyway wondering what make the difference to make it a play. Thanks again. |

5/3/2003 12:10:47 PM Wallman, As you can probably tell, I am studying this morning. One more. Say you are looking at a few stocks. One is green at the open, you wait and watch till 9:50 to make your trade. By 9:50 two others are also in the green, all below the 3% above previous close level. Do you tend to play the one that opened in the green or look at all three equally as options at that point (how far above previous close, volume, price,etc). and choose the best based upon those? Thanks, |

5/3/2003 1:55:51 PM iHEY DD.....good to see you're studying,good q's,first i am not sure how you would phrase what you are looking for maybe "price decreased from 1 day ago",if a stock opens green then 15 mins later is trading below previous days close if it moves back up to show green by 10:30(just my preference,you can wait as long as you like,then if you still have an opening i would definitly buy),many times you will get a much lower entry this way putting you a couple % ahead at the start if the stock starts to run,there was one a few days ago that opened up .20 then 15 mins later was down .10 but came back to up .05 at 10:15,i believe it was on a $5 stock,so you saved yourself 3% at the entry!..... as you pointed out with KOPN the top shadow is longer then the tail,which NORMALLY would be a throwout for me,BUT it had 2 strong points going for it that i like to see,one was the body was entirely out of bb's and the other being the huge body before it and a big body next to that,if you look back you will see that this is not the way this stock normally trades,i was taught a long time ago that bb's are an expression of the stocks extreme price limits(at that current time)so therefor if any other extreme occurence is going on at the moment such as larger than normal volume,very long tail,or big bodys and/or bodys out of bb's, it has a greater(and quicker!) tendency to reverse the direction of the price movement,in this case back up,returning it to more normal conditions,so body out of bb's and large bodys combined to outweigh the smaller tail making KOPN a play for me,that's what i mean when i say over time you will get a feel for it,since all your concentrating on is getting good at reading bottom bb's moves it shouldn't take long,to get the max out of this system that's all you need,let others worry about the middle and top bb's,you don't need to with this system,like you've heard ,just do one thing but do it well......if more than one stock is green by 9:45 i base my decision on which one to buy entirely on the ranking system i described in my 4-29 post,it takes all emotion out of the picture which for me is perfect,but you may want to trade the one that you just looked the best to you for some reason,but that never worked for me ...if you have any ?'s you know you're welcome to ask......see ya |

5/3/2003 1:58:03 PM would putting 2% above low as a filter make for a better tail |
