Had these questions PM'd to me today: Thomas, I imagine you've been inundated with PMs lately, but I would appreciate your patience with a quick question.......actually two.... I am using Timely.com charts and wondered if you trade exactly at the crossover....as you know, they are carried to two decimal points at the top of the graph......do you use a specific amount of crossover to trigger the trades? Also, have you tinkered with 15-minute charts with 20 and 32 MAs to stretch out the signal? Would this actually be the same thing? 1. I've got my eyes on 4 things when I check in on things (about every hour for 5 minutes or so): the timely chart, RT price quote, the Naz index (or QQQ), and the charts and prices of the other stocks in my portfolio (BVSN, DIGL, SAWS, SNDK at the moment). I don't do anything mechanically...it is a kind of "feeling"...but I'll trade the signal only by reference to the other three factors. But if you want a number, I consider 0.05 difference to be significant... 2. No they are not the same, though very close. And I'm afraid I'm at a loss to explain why...anyone? TC
