...I model several specific companies I couldn't tell that from your last few posts. One very successful trader I know of models individual stocks as well as the market. He will then select those stocks to trade having the greatest rate-of-change that are moving in the same direction that the market is expected to move the next day. He also adjusts his strategy on a daily basis to further optimize results, e.g., go long dotcoms, or go short Nasdaq stocks, or buy at the close and then sell at the open, etc. I also model individual stocks and indices, although indices seem to be a bit more difficult to predict effectively. My efforts are directed at analysis of the individual stocks within an indice to predict the range and direction of that index for the next day. I guess it is similar in some ways to trying to guage market health by looking at the breadth of the market.
