When to trade from the long side...

Enter the trade when price is at/near a support line.

The choice is simple. Either you buy as the price crosses above a support/resistance line(area) on a show of strength or you enter as the price bounces off the support/resistance line(area).

If you use my Gridiron Strategy you will know exactly where the support areas reside.

GOOG on Friday is a perfect example of buying off a support area and raking it in. GOOG dropped 2 days in a row. On Friday, GOOG continued to drop though the pivot point at 283.74.

My Gridiron showed the 20 yard line (oversold) area to be at 281.47. GOOG had tested that area on Thursday. GOOG tested it again on Friday with a low of 281.64. When the price rose above the 60 minute ema(5) in the 282.32 area, GOOG was a buy. GOOG closed at 289.77 and the R2 resistance was 289.70.

In summary, for swing trading, the LONG entry is at/near support and you NEVER want to enter in the middle area between a support and a resistance line.

Sounds like you have to learn to determine MARKET TREND.

Using this filter, you will see what way the market is trending.

Look at the TREND column and the crossover columns... they tell which way the index is trending.

The Bollinger band and linear regression columns tell you when it is topping or bottoming.

Of course, checking RSI(2) and weekly RSI(2) gives you confirmation of tops and bottoms especially when there is a divergence.

MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

P.S. This is one of my saved filters, I use it everyday.

Dear Rumpled One,
Your grid iron study is a marvel. But there is only one problem. I don't know how to apply it the way you are discussing. Did I just read that you run the grid iron against your watchlist? Otherwise, how could you have seen what GOOG was doing?
Thank you, Carolyn

I have the Gridiron live, real time on my TradeStation Platform.

I wrote a Gridiron Calculator for EXCEL for those who don't have tradestation.

If you like to trade a few stocks rather than dozens, you run the calculations and wait for a long entry near the support area or a short entry near the resistance area.

You don't enter when the ball is at midfield meaning at/near the halfway point between support/resistance. If you enter there, you are "gambling".

The Gridiron just gives you a better edge.

Of course, you can use Elliot Waves and/or Fib numbers to fine your entries.

I just grind out the profits using the Gridiron.

It's not really a marvel...lol

It is more of a "why didn't I think of that" application of overbought/oversold to support/resistance. Really it's commonsense!

But thanks for the compliment.

As far as GOOG goes, it's a (cash) cow that you should milk everyday!

Who needs a watchlist when you can trade GOOG everyday?

Rumpled One,
I'm sorry to be so dense but on your 3 program Battle Lines, how do you physically run the 3 different programs? Do you run them separately? Do you ask the 2nd part to only run on the results of the 1st program, etc? Thanks for your help. Carolyn

It's ok to ask for explanations...

I use TradeStation, that is how I do it.

If you don't have TS, then you would want to use the Gridiron Calculator I wrote for EXCEL.

The SF Battlelines filter gives you the lines for where the stock price is now. But if it move past either goal line, you don't have the lines for the "new" field.

The calculator is in the files section of the StockFetcher (Muddy) Yahoo group:
