At the beginning , The company has only a dream , you have the money at the end the company has the money and you are left with only the Dream. Kirby, I heard that one a while ago but I don't know exactly where it came from. As for my analysis intentions on future reports, as you can see, each week it evolves into more informative and relevant information. I am finding that it is picking up general trends in the market nicely (as it should). When I started the thread , many trades were strictly on the Long side, now over 50% are Short , which is a good sign. It will allow for proper sentiment guage and trend verification. The 10% stop loss rule is working out better than I thought because without it , many of the losses would never have been forced to be reported and in such a case Trend Direction is hard to verify without hard numbers. Also When I started, the selection of stock individuals played was a small list, now it has grown to encompass almost every sector of the TSE . I find myself playing stocks I never even looked at in the past because now I look for stocks that fit my TA requirements for a profitable move. Stocks genrally are range bound 80% of the time and the remainder of the time will trend. When you play only a few stocks generally you will be whipsawed out of positions because you are caught in that trendless range that kills both Shorts and longs. Finding new stocks that are ready to move out of its range is much better financially and generate better returns , which was also a goal of this thread from the beginning. It's working . I do plan on a report cummulating the win/loss total for the month as well so that not only will I report on a weekly basis but the Month end report will add all the week totals and sum it up. Should be very intersting info. Thanks to everyone who participates and I hope you are all enjoying it as much as I am. And as far as I am aware, no other thread does this, but the Internet is large and I amsure there are some very similar ones
