Well Jesso, now I am totally lost. See my previous post. Did you get the same average result I did? Marshall

Using QQQ .. jesso/Marshall Couple of thoughts .. We should use QQQ and SPY as 'directional bias' tools (ie) I suspect that our more successful/profitable trades with individual stocks will be those that were/are in the same direction as the market .. It may also be true that QQQ, SPY etc will generate tradable signals themselves .. Wish there was a mechanical way to screen for current/recent "trendiness" as those would be the 'best' stocks/indicies for us to exploit .. In real-time trading I suspect that we will settle upon a handful of issues that will give good signals/results until they lose their volatility/trendiness .. we'll know that because we'll be taking losses at that point !!! Note TC's experience with SCH .. The trick will be to recognize that an issue is losing it's follow through after a x-over event without it costing too many trading $$$$ .. With thread participants screening in real-time we'll have more candidates than we can play !! Jim in CT ..
