<Just a few questions for the thread:> <1. When you pick a stock to analyze in NS what do you look for?> I find a stock in favor, fundamentally sound, volatile, and trades in tandem with some indices. I started a new experiment last night, identifying industry indices that trade in tandem with WSX and then stocks in the specific indices that trade in tandem with its industry. My first attempt, MAT, was successful as the net correctly predicted todays increase. <4. What other methods do people use to confirm buys and sells with NS?> I time the entry with the MACD buy signal. I've been doing this since Sep., with a 100% success rate to date (sell after 5 % or higher within a week). I had 3 successful trades this week. I always seem to sell to soon. <5. Having placed my first two trades based on a NS prediction today, what sort of results have people been able to manage using NS> Since 9/1/98 I'm 8/8, with a return of over 55%. I'm out of the market around 50% of the time. 1 trade was against Neuro's advice... just got lucky. I know I just jinxed myself...

1. When you pick a stock to analyze in NS what do you look for? I'm starting with large cap. technology stocks that trade at least 500,000 shares per day. Just a gut feel that the large cap. & high volume stuff won't change trading patterns too whimsically. Tech stocks have enough volatility to be interesting and I have some familiarity with some of them to help in choosing related indicies. 3. Has anyone tried relateds such as the dollar, advance/decline, sentiment, call/put, VIX, etc? I have a S&P500 net using DXY, Adv/Decl. etc. It looks OK but it's too early to tell if it's real-world accurate. If it works, it's just for a general market barometer. I'm just now starting to trade NS signals, cautiously.
