[ NWCI ] I made some observations on NWCI that I thought I would link to the Rational Analyst thread, since it does provide some material for exchange. Here it is: exchange2000.com Rainier

Hi Carl, re: <<what then are you using?>> That's one of those questions that I either give a quicky, hand-waving "marketing" answer, or I practically end up writing a book. When I got to the second page of responding, and realized I wasn't even close to complete, I opted for choice one: describing the marketecture. So, here goes: on the TA side, I use "purist TA:" chart reading (multi-period pattern dissection is probably a better term) of O-H-L-C-V, trendlines, moving averages, relative strength, and cycle behavior) until such time that I find a complete set of indicators that I'm comfortable with. I'm working on trying to develop a complete set of adaptive indicators that encapsulates all elements of my manual chart dissection. I also use industry group analysis, broad market analysis, and fundamental screens. Economic indicators play little role in my decisions because, well, I don't understand them well enough to use them. I use defined risk (i.e. chart-based stops) on most every trade ("most" because few discount brokers allow stops on smaller Naz stocks), and also have asset allocation guidelines that I try very hard to follow. I think that about covers it at a high level. dh
