Doug: Please send me the set up for parity when you have time. I think I have it allready as you gave it to me a few months ago, but maybe you have changed it a bit or added to it. Thanks scott

GEEEEEEEEEZZZZZ!!!! As an extension to the Academy, may I present an IM conversation with Mr. Schuler...Part I: RSchuler1: Evening Doug! Tiric: Russ, you're up late!!! Hello! RSchuler1: Yeah. Had a busy day organizing at home and.... lots a stuff. RSchuler1: I am trying to do a test run on the Investor Insight/Parity routine I will be following... Tiric: Is there anything you need? Tiric: P is about 300 stocks I think. RSchuler1: hehe.. Funny you mention that. After I went through the list and grabbed the 'P's, I saw that I have 360 RSchuler1: ...I may have added some I didn't mean to though RSchuler1: Since I can't connect to Investor Insight (some problem accessing their online server), I figured I try to d/l some data on a couple stocks for Parity so I can learn that process Tiric: Historical Quotes (USA) Tiric: Put that in your Favorite Places RSchuler1: Thanks. I just marked it Tiric: Use "Custom..." RSchuler1: ok RSchuler1: I wanted to say hi and I am very glad that we all got together like we did. Great idea! RSchuler1: ..I did also want to mention that P's had 300+, but you already knew that... :) Tiric: If we can all work together, the best stocks will be easy pickin's Always use 1/1/87 as the from date. RSchuler1: why that date? Tiric: It's easier to type in than 1/2/87 RSchuler1: :) ok.... Tiric: That's the farthest back AOL goes with their data. RSchuler1: ok...I'll get this ball rolling here. Talk to you soon Doug. RSchuler1: ok. Thanks Tiric: Ok. Have fun (yeah right, he says...) RSchuler1: ...Actually, I'm very eager to get started, but feel like technology is inhibiting me! (investor Insight) Tiric: II is one of the most user freindly aps that you can find. Parity is the one that is a bit daunting. Tiric: Do you need the data conversion thingee; ASCIIconvert? RSchuler1: I could tell from observing you that once you get used to it, you can really start rockin'. I just have to figure it out first. RSchuler1: nope. I got it. Tiric: Ok, great. RSchuler1: I need to convert what I d/l from AOL, right? Tiric: Yes. RSchuler1: ok.. I'm on my way Tiric: Alrightee. Get us an IL breaker for Wed. RSchuler1: ...THAT was funny. You guys are too much! Tiric: I suppose there are moments. LOL RSchuler1: Got time for another ? Tiric: Ok. RSchuler1: Great. I d/l BOSCF and loaded it into Parity. I only seem to have volume info for the first 2 months RSchuler1: Did I d/l or import it incorrectly? Tiric: Let me check what I have. RSchuler1: ok Tiric: The volume was so high in the first couple months that it was so proportionately greater than any subsequent volume that it doesn't appear as a result of the scaling. RSchuler1: ohhh.. Even when I zoom WAY in, I still don't see any volume. Is that just how Parity works? Tiric: Go back to "Groups" then to "Load A Security", then to "Temp Text" and choose a "first record" of 70 and click on OK. RSchuler1: alright..be right back RSchuler1: Yup. That did it. That's kinda wierd Tiric: What you did was remove the volume scaling used in the first few months. That brought the scaling to a level that gave the current volume more visibility. RSchuler1: ok...I'll keep an eye out for that in the future RSchuler1: MIMBO review: Once the uptrend begins, we said that the uptrend point B must be above the last downtrend point A. Does that have to happen in ONE day? RSchuler1: Using daily HIGH (not close) Tiric: It can be a double bottom or a "block" of bottoms. Tiric: Use a downtrend line that goes from the alltime intraday high across the intraday high on 10/16 as the current "major downtrend line". RSchuler1: The "major DL" is always to two highest all-time prices, right? RSchuler1: Whoops! What the heck am I saying! I mean the AT-high and the beginning of the downtrend high

Doug R, don't forget that I have your Parity too with the parameters in it. Today, I plan to load it to make sure it works. IF IT DOES, I will make about 20 copies and put them in envelopes. Then if someone needs it, I can also help with sending them off. Me thinks there is too much data to attach to an E-Mail and I have not done that so would rather mail them. Let me know. I'll get them ready,

Doug, (and all): Parity also will read telechart2000 data. It's actually really easy! So, if you use telechart2000 for your data feed, you can use parity to read the data directly. This is what I've been doing and it works great. Also, you can get about 1 years worth of free data that, with proper massaging, you can load into parity. Go to the site: tradepbs.com and you can get about 1 years data for any stock. Get it in comma delimited format, and then you must get rid of the double quotes around the dates. This is definitely a pain, but it's free. -dave

Doug Got back from Annapolis to find my Mac HD had crashed. Now in the process of being assimilated; don't care what Jobs says, resistance is futile. Should be getting my first PC sometime next week. Have to pick between Dell and Gateway. I'm sitting at my neighbor's right now using her PC to catch up. Please e-mail the parameters and anything else I may have missed that I will need to do a thorough job on the F's. It was great meeting you and everyone else. I will send you and Radar the curriculum packet as soon as I can. Rick G
