I can't make money in a market like this using the system I use. I have learned about losing money in markets like this in the past, and I will not be fooled again. Just to make sure I am not being foolish with my own opinions, I track recent breakouts to see if they continue higher, and unfortunately, the few stocks that have broken out and meet my buying criterion have mostly failed with just a few exceptions. Today may technically be a follow through day because the volume was up, but a follow through day means nothing if there are only a few to no quality stocks coming out of quality bases. When the market came out in late October 1999, there were a ton of choices. In early June 2000, there were again a ton of choices, but right now they just are not there. I do not trade based on others opionions. I trade based on what the market tells me. I know this sounds like a broken record, but every trader I admire repeats this over and over. It is constantly stated on the General Market page and investors corner of IBD, and from other great people like Kevin Marder of TradingMarkets.com. Since this is only my second day getting emails from this discussion group, I am glad to see one from someone who thinks at least a little like me. Earlier in the day I was a little worried.

The Dow has beenn signaling a follow through day for sometime now...Also, WON also stated that he personally never even bother with a stock that does not have at least a 50% growth rate. Those are his words, not mine. The tone at the seminar was slightly different than what is in his books or IBD. Frankly, it threw me at first. Others at the seminar felt the same way. making comments about how they do not even follow their own rules. Another thing that was stated at the seminar was that if the average volume is less than a million, than buyer beware. I noticed that IFiN has an average daily volume of 159,900. It is one of the reason why I have not bought PLT. Incredible growth potential yet only 1/2 million in volume...

Hello All, I started using Daily Graphs Online about a year ago. The service is great. Each day you can download the entire Daily Graphs printed book in spreadsheet format with all the proprietary information, and sort them at will. I started making a database of this information last September 1999, but do not have the daily reports from before that. I noticed some patterns since then in the way the high quality stocks change in number depending on the market conditions. I would like to test the ideas I have formed when looking at these reports by tracking them back from before and through the 1998 bear market. If any one has saved each daily report from Daily Graphs Online previous to September 1999, I would greatly like to hear from you. If you were to provide those reports to me I would be glad to share any of the info I glean from analyzing the patterns. Thanks John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Really easy to not only get the overall trend, but to see c&h patterns in them. I have not heard of DGO offering weekly charts, but would welcome the addition, esp if they offered the option of log charts. But I also still like daily charts for timing purposes.

I guess the idea is to take what you can out of a system and adapt it to your own successful approaches. There's nothing that can't be improved upon. With that said, I do stick to the Canslim as much as possible because it's the only system I know. It's the first book I read, lucky me.
