  TRO, I've been spending a more than a little amount of time going through this thread.  Of all the filters/variations of filters that you've posted, which one do you rely on?
 
 Regards
 Max

  I do NOT rely on a filter.
 
 First, I pick a method.  Lately, I have been working on the OVER NIGHT HOLDS for traders who can't day trade.
 
 Next, I find what stocks, STATISTICALLY, produce the most consistent profits with this method.
 
 I am NOT looking for the "stock de jour", I am looking for "cows" that can be milked every day.
 
 I :"found" AAPL and RIMM years ago, and they are still producing "milk".
 
 If you can day trade, then it is MILKING THE COWS / FADING THE GAP.
 
 If you are trying to increase your portfolio, then it is RUN FOREST, RUN.
 
 If you cannot day trade, then it is THE BIGGEST LOSERS - OVER NIGHT HOLD.
 
 But remember...
 
 IT'S NOT WHAT YOU TRADE, IT'S HOW YOU TRADE IT!!

 You don't know me but I just want to thank you for your generosity in sharing ideas. I started trading fulltime 2 1/2 years ago when I made a "career change"  ( LOL - I was laid off after 25 years).  I've read tons of books , put in hundreds of 12 hour days and spent nights and weekends trying to learn how to make a living in the markets. It's been very tough the last couple years but I hang in there.
 
 Bottom line is that while the experts tell you avoid scalping and daytrading, this is what best fits my personality. You are the first trader I have run across that stresses taking small wins throughout the day. If I can average 4-6  $50 dollar wins per day I can make a reasonable living. Why take large risks when you can win the race with slow and steady. Your success has been a great reinforcement to me that I can be successful with this kind of trading. I recently moved to Arizona and I now get up at 5am every morning to trade the opening. Your filters and systems have inspired me to create my own and I want to thank you for your being willing to share.
 
 Hopefully I am going to ultimately be successful and if so, I intend to share whatever I learn with whoever I can help.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Mark

  You're welcome, Mark.
 
 Where in AZ?  Perhaps we can go see a Dbacks game.

  Hey Kindtrader 56.
 
 Pretty much the same boat.....
 
 reduced to part time 4 years ago, released completely jan this year.
 
 TRO's posts really helped me find a method that suited my personality and for that I will be forever greatful.
 
 Maybe I will have to buy a winter place in Arizona!
 
 Enjoy the game boys!
