5/12/2008 6:18:12 PM Niko, The obvious answer is, "whatever makes you money," but are these long/short setups mainly for holding for a few days, or for finding short term "pops" for daytrading? I am just not sure when it was designed, what its intention was to be.. |

5/12/2008 9:17:20 PM are these long/short setups mainly for holding for a few days, or for finding short term "pops" for daytrading? Are you referring to the latest filter? If so, I have yet to test it extensively to provide you with any definitive answer. However, as a daytrader, I'm more interested in finding stocks that will "pop" more sooner than later. But this doesn't necessarily mean that you couldn't swing trade using my filters. I am just not sure when it was designed, what its intention was to be. I don't quite follow. Can you elaborate? |

5/13/2008 12:08:49 PM Thanks for your response. I guess I was trying to figure out (which you answered already) if these filters were looking for stocks to make a gradual run up the next few days, or a explosive move (daytraders heaven.) From your response, it sounds like you are an intraday trader like myself, so we are are looking for the same thing. (I guess my original question was based on seeing stocks move up over the course of days in tight intraday ranges/gaps at the open, without giving the daytrader much opportunity to get in/out without holding overnight..) |

5/13/2008 1:48:15 PM You do have a point but, if ure looking for a "pop", doesn't it make more sense to just trade a volatile stock like AAPL or GOOG? Moreover, I dunno about you but I rarely ever open and hold a position from the beginning to the end of the day. I would make multiple trades throughout the day. So whether it's a 1-day popper or not doesn't (or at least shouldn't) matter that much because, as they say, opportunity abounds if you know where to look. Cheers! |

5/20/2008 12:29:28 AM Nikoschopen, You seem to be a guru and a champion of Linear Regression Channels. But, I couldn't find your main thread on Linear Regression Channels so I will have to post my question here: How do you determine the appropriate parameters "Period" and "Channel Width" for Linear Regression Channels? Thank you, niko cyc |

5/20/2008 3:38:32 AM Sorry, but I think you got the wrong man. If I'm mistaken, the one who championed the cause of Linear Regression Channels was Riggs, who is better known these days as WALLSTREETGENIUS. However, I did work with a few filters that dealt with LRC:
Be that as it may, if you would like help devising a specific filter around LRC, feel free to ask. We're all here to help out. |

How do you determine the appropriate parameters "Period" and "Channel Width" for Linear Regression Channels? Since the first parameter is the "lookback" period, you'll need to decide for ureself how long the LRC must be. As a short-term oriented trader, I tend to stick to a parameter no longer than 20. You can really get downright fancy with the second parameter by tweaking the channel width, but for the most part I just leave it at the default value of 1. |

6/16/2008 6:05:40 PM Niko, below is what you posted as to what to watch for. What if yesterday's "return" value was simply below 30 and today the return value is above 40? Those types look good to me....any opinion on that? Thanks, Frank UPTREND Yesterday's "return" value must cross below 30. Today's "return" value must cross back down above 40. Today's "TSI6" and "D2/T3" values must be +1. |

6/16/2008 6:39:34 PM Hey Frank, What I specifically look for is a 1-day flipper. This would mean
Usually, when a stock has been trading under 30 for days, there's a good chance that it would drop back under 30 even if it managed to climb above 40. In fact, those are the times when you should go all-out short because that's when it falls the hardest. Hope that helps. |
