GNET in 66 1/8 after sitting on my hands for the inevitable 3 bar sell off. NSOL having 2 great days. AOL, WEBT, ALLR etc. The stocks you can take home will lead, the others we play like flutes.. Trading on the volatility, exhaustion, more volatility more exhaustion. Flight to quality nets. I have isolated some interesting strategies for playing the hi flyers market only 2 and maybe 3 times a day.. The morning half hour and the last hour or 30 minutes are by far and way the best trading. I have chosen some stratgies for playing on both the range contractions (or candlestick reversal i.e. doji, hammers, hanging men) with corresponding lows in historical, and regular volatility (standard deviation, average true range, vertical horizontal filter) topped off by a confirmation from an oscillator to check 'overbought/oversold' situations for getting those 'bottle neck' bollinger-type pattern that burst out at the seams. I'm also adding a filter on option volatility to see if that gives better results. This is especially for plays like JDSU, HLIT, FFIV, CMRC, etc for their frequent strong moves before, during and after earnings.. Any play that is a high flyer qualifies. Last night I finished the 'finding the strength and direction of the trend' and worked on so gap strategies for those plays we pick up on the day of the report. This is all because basically holding through earnings, although it works about 90% of the time.. Its only 20% of stocks I hold through earnings so its 90% of that 20. Not enough so I decided to work on strategies for better playing the before, during, after... and all consequent rallies that inevitably occur and reoccur in these stocks (i.e. ADIC, VIAN, BVSN, WEBT,) The opposite for those that have already burst out of the seams and you can short after a sign of reversal downward.
