I was PM'd a lovely message from a lurker, and I'm hoping I'm not breaching confidence to post some of it here. It provides a nice segue (spelling? I've never been a great speller...odd for someone with an Oxford doctorate!) for a technical indicator I've been working on. The poster wrote this: I like to check in on your thread from time to time .. Using MA x-overs to time entry/exits on volatile stocks is a nice discipline .. It doesn't matter a whole lot what specific MAs you use or the time period as long as you are consistent with whatever parameters "seem" best to you .. I think your thread participants can serve as a candidate stock screening mechanism as long as everyone knows what to look for and is using the same set-ups .. It would be nice to have a systematic way to screen for volatile ( I assume you are defining volatility as trading range expressed as a percent of prior close or something similar ?? ) issues that have recent smooth trends such as SAWS See next post for my suggestion...
