Good Morning, Thanks for GERN pick. I will look into it. I wanted to post this here for I've been helping a few people on IHub who have TDAmeritrade as their brokerage and didn't know they could get their software free if they are apex members. Maybe someone here fits into that category and didn't know about the software. It's excellent for scanning and in addition they have a playbook that tells you strategies for trading opportunities. Anyway, here's what I posted: ============================================= Okay, I assume you got into Advanced Analyzer and are using it.:) Wanted to share this with you. They have a PLAYBOOK which is how to play various trading opportunities that present themselves in the market. To read the PLAYBOOK you do this: Open Advanced Analyzer, and at the top, go to TOOLS then STRATEGY GUIDE in Advanced Analyzer and it comes up with the various plays. Here's just a small amount of what they give you, plus they give charts as examples. This one is one of my favorite plays, playing the retrace. ====================== Pullback Play This is the more traditional play with a peak because there may be more room for the pullback to play out. With the biggest peaks, there seems to be a soft rule that applies: the bigger and quicker the run up, the bigger and quicker the pullback. Potential Entry Points Some peaks may take a day or two to top before the pullback starts. The challenge is in determining when the peak tops out, or if it will top out at all. Sometimes a peak is just a quick move for a stock that is on a relentless tear for a seemingly endless top. If the pullback is going to occur, it typically happens a little slower than the run up. Signs of the stock topping are a return to more normal trading volume and obviously little or no upward movement in the price. Again, don't try to hit the absolute peak. You won't hit it often, if ever - and you risk not participating in a quick pullback if you're not already in a position. Lexi
