Well, here are a few long candidates based on my MACD scan I presented in the preceeding post. Long candidates were pulled from a scan based on MACD with a setup being given by a "fast" line > "signal" line crossover based on 2/19 closing prices. My MACD is based on a SMA as opposed to an exponential MA as I cannot code an EMA in TC2000. My other criteria are average monthly volume > 150,000 and Price > $20. I also look at stochastics, Worden's proprietary accumulation indicator, and breakout from congestion. I try to be conservative so for confirmation I check IBD and Zack's. Here's my shorthand for providing IBD and Zack's info -- [RS, Timeliness, Accumulation/distribution, Zack's rank (1 = strong buy/5 = strong sell)]. I'll provide a link to Timely.com and also to IQsuites for the MACD histogram. So.... PZZA [78, B, C, 1] Hate the pizza, but just got SB recommendations from Bradford and Piper Jafray. This was a GBS long last fall. timely.com. 207.95.154.130. MACR [96, A, B, 3] Received 2 strong buy upgrades from Jafray and Dakin this month timely.com. 207.95.154.130. EAII [78, B, B, 3] Beautiful MACD - looks like a sine wave! timely.com. 207.95.154.130. KING [96, B, A, 1] Already left the station perhaps , but a few points left IMO. timely.com. 207.95.154.130. Comments invited.

svelte: Man - where's everbody yat . . . still here. . . Nursing some wounds taken last week that sent me underwater for the year. Looking to bounce back now having learned (forcefully) the benefits of stops. Trying to pick up some WWY (long) today. My long scans started turning up more interesting picks this weekend, while the short scans seem to be drying up. F.
