I just printed out the 70 pages of the 'Market Gems Handbook' and for the first 'draft' I liked it for the first time out and that surprised me. I will still be doing rewrites to get it okay and only then give it to a professional editor for editing, evaluation, etc. I am going to be lessoning the various indicators and expanding on others in the next few weeks and months and that will be apparent in the handbook. I'm still not 100% sure how to distribute since the charts were all white background with only colored borders, I have been doing well with trendline and channel breakouts, breaking out of bases, even a little was okay. The '2 or 3' indicator combinations, bollinger, intraday stochastics etc. especially money flow a couple of volume indicators.. I am going to emphasize the need for dual portfolio of choices like when days the tech and dow decided to take a dive, there still might be something of value in the earnings plays. it will be like a "Primer Market Gems 101" especially for those who don't go on the thread. More like 'trading guidelines' method for trading our earnings plays and watch list plays There will be sample watch list and earnings plays triggers and follow up. Alerts, Even how to scan the earnings plays for specific criteria. You still have to learn to trade through reading and then by trial and error but it puts things in perspective. There will be quite a few examples from the actual charts that triggered buy signals..and ones that were very promising but only triggered 2-3 days later, and charts that went bad, and step by step approach to what to do with the watch list, how to keep track of news, update charts automatically with a few key strokes etc. It won't be a manual on technical analysis, but rather will answer questions like.. a) The paramount importance of setting up alerts in at least 2-3 watch lists and/or the earnings plays, b) If you hold after a 5% intraday gain every day has to be watched even more closely.. if after 10% gain you are on your own. I have said numerous times I'd rather leave money on the table than take home any positions. I currently don't hold any positions long or short in my trading portfolio and a few in my intermediate.. although as a whole we do have some longer term holdings that we are not too concerned with. c) How long to hold onto a stock after earnings with a good report and gap up (i.e. intu, erts, hlit) d) Which few will make the best intermediate and position holds and how to tell from the charts and future analyst views after the reports. e) How to do just about anything in Telescan and set up alerts, loading your portfolios into 'templates with your favorite indicators' (resistance, trendlines, etc) f) The importance of high volatility and high price ranges for daytrading when the market climate shows on sector going one way yet another sector going another. g) stop losses and when to NEVER chance holding through earnings and when it might be feasible. There will be a few scans examples and ideas of how to utilize the morning newspaper and headlines etc... Trying to keep thing as specific as I can to our sort of plays. Intraday chart set ups.. etc. I'll try my hand on shorting the 'earnings plays' but that might be more in the 'experimental' phase and shorting our hi flyers after they have surged. It should take another few weeks because even though its free, ...It's also practice for me for my bigger project.
