[Thomrich]

greetings Runner,
What type of software or service do you employ to find these type of stocks?

Spike had a write up with a link to a commodity trader who used inside days to signal big moves. just curious how a person could track them.

happy holidays
Tom

[Runner]

Tom I had some help from a friend who wrote the code for me. I use stockcharts scanner. I think it is a nice tool because you can modify the code to suit what you want returned from the scan. Only negative I see that that no fundamental scans are available. I also think the subscription fee is not bad at all. If you have not looked at stockcharts.com I’d recommend them. I’ve only been with them for a few months and I’ve almost got the scanner where I want it. I need more tuning on my double bottom scan. I’m thinking of setting up one for flat bases from weekly chart.

I have not seen Spikes thread on inside days and I have not been able to get much info about it. I’ve noticed this set up on many charts prior to a break up or down. I think I mentioned this on a different thread, but notice the low volatility followed by high volatility on some charts. Hope this helps

Runner

[Runner]

I also should mention looking over the charts is very simple. I can review hundreds of charts in no time. They have a candle glance mode that sets up a bunch of charts on one page. You can save the charts you want into a folder you create. This tool in is very helpful. I don’t have the live charts and was wondering if anyone uses the live chart service?

[Runner]

Notice the descending triangle on DEX. Today it gave a good conformation signal on this pattern.

[Runner]

I’ve still got some serious fine tuning on my code for flat bases, but this is what returns these are written for weekly charts and not daily. Also on some you’ll notice a convergence of the 20 40 50 day moving average. Not a text book flat base, but this is as close as I can get it for now.

Concept is to locate stocks running with in a 5% range over n days this example is for 45 days. I can also lessen the percentage of the range. For now this is the return

Same time frame but adjusted range channel from 5% down to 2%

LNR MGM SHY ZTR

[Runner]

I feel like I’m now getting closer to stream lining this. My objective is almost complete. I may need to adjust the n days and check out the results. This has been on my mind for some time now. I have not even looked at the stocks that where returned.

If someone has some input on this please let me know.

Runner,
LNR and MGM certainly are flat as a pancake. Do you know of anyone putting a % on flat bases for their tendency to eventually advance or decline?
billyjoe

[Runner]

Billyjoe,
I don’t know the answer to your question. The reason I opted for percentage instead of price is because the percentage would yield to the broad spectrum of stocks moving with in the criteria. The stocks in return will be some I will keep on eye on. If they pop out of the base one might get a nice move.

If I’m seeing this right looks as if MGM has had one heck of a tight range the last five sessions, in fact only a few pennies up or down. It would need to take out 11.90 with some volume. Looks to have been running flat for about 14 weeks, but like always time will tell.

I have looked into this several times and the only reason I didnt buy is because of their statement in Nov. where they guided below estimates and flat growth compared to 2nd QTR.( of course that was $2/share ago)
