yeah, better entry than mine....

anyway, Larry Connors, in Connors Advanced Trading Strategies

method to short parabolic stocks:

find a stock whose weekly adx (I assumed 14 period) is 60 or higher, then wait for first downtick in the weekly adx and short - no specifics on entry

allow a 15% stop loss, sell 1/2 position at 20% profit, use trailing stops to protect balance of position (again, no specifics)

I used this method for neon a week or so ago, I closed the position on the first day for a 7 point gain, or about 11%. there were 4 more points which I did not get (from my entry) - I entered neon the first day of the signal. on bud, I didn't get in until the day after the signal - and I was not patient enough on that day

that's the story

Bob

glad I am not the only one short - there wa quite a bit of block buying right at the close...
