Yes it would have worked at 1.25 and been very successful. The trend was pretty much flattening out so it would have been on okay play without the benefit of any hindsight. An uptrend is preferable to a neutral/flat trend. Before getting too excited look at when stochastics were under 20 around the 17th of November. You would have lost money because of the downtrend it was on. I think that is a perfect example of what trading against the trend can do to you.

Here's some I was just looking at. ALTN--on an excellent uptrend and just recently bottomed on 5 day stochastics at 20. BRKT--neutral trend at upper 12 day bollinger band and 5 day stochastics at 80. CELG--slight downtrend and 5 day stochastics at 80 CLST--5 day stochastics at 70 CPU--on an uptrend and 5 day stochastics near 20 CYPB-- (Speed's favorite)--nice hook at 5 day stochastic of 30, uptrend slowing. The next 5 day stochastics peak near 80 equals a good short. EGRP--5 day stochastics at 75, basically a neutral trend ESV--5 day stochastics peaked at 75 (look at hook) and its on a downtrend HMTT--5 day stochastics at 80 and its on a downtrend INVX--5 day stochastics are near 80 IO--5 day stochastics peaked (look at hook) and now at 60 MACR-- 5 day stochastics peaked at 75 (hook) and its on a downtrend. PETM--5 day stochastics peak at 75 RDC--5 day stochastics peak at 80 (see rest of oil sector including GLM, MDCO, NE, VRC, HAL etc.) SYBS--5 day stochastic is at 80 SCTC--I'm short this one. Trend is down and stochastics over 80 and hooking. TALK--5 day stochastics at 75 and its on a downtrend. COMS--peaked on stochastics on neutral trend WAVO--5 day stochastics are peaked on a downtrend.

Here's a list I came up with after the close on Friday. There's always a play to be done on something. "quick" means timeframe of 1 to 3 days and the other suggestions are timeframes of 5 to 12 days. There's even 5 buys on the list! SFAM-short PRST-short PRMS-quick short SEBL-quick short HRBC-quick buy SDRC-quick short MRII-quick short CTXS-short CRUS-short ACTN-short AGPH-buy AORI-short APSO-quick buy ARX-quick short ASDV-short CPU-buy CACC-short BMCS-quick buy CMVT-short WAVO-quick buy VVUS-quick short EGHT-quick short VNTV-short PMSI-quick buy FPAM-quick buy ORCL-quick buy FORE-short RMBS-quick buy GADZ-quick buy RII-quick buy IO-buy RAYS-buy PSSI-quick short SOCR-quick short TALK-quick short RMDY-short OAKT-short EGRP-short DIMD-short NOBE-quick buy DWRX-buy HMTT-short HRBC-quick buy KMAG-quick short
