You might e-mail Qcharts for your answer about MACD buy signals. I find value when MACD moves above or below the zero line...as confirmation.

that's true about confirmation.
however sometimes MACD will preceed run (ASIA last week) or be just-in-time (CERT this week.)

I have tried WallstreetCity, Metastock, TC2000, BigEasy,
etc and nothing seem to have an easy use accurate list
of MACD buy signal plays. Or better yet, a method to scroll through charts and easily find signals and ones
ones ramping up to buy signals.

What TA signals do you like to use? TIA

No, Qcharts doesn't. I have a wish list of scans and alerts I wish it had, and that is one of them. You have to set all your own alerts, and they can only be on price, volume money flow etc.

Sojourner Smith: I try to keep it as simple as possible as I get easily confused with too many indicators. I look at the daily and weekly charts to get a sense of the major trend. Then I'll look at the 60-minute, 15 and 5 minute chartsw for a clue as to the best entry or exit point as I play both sides of the street; long and short. I watch volume and MACD and tend to sell into sudden volume and strength or cover into sudden volume and weakness. I'm a trader, and when I get my trade, I take it...though I generally buy or short at least 200 shares and sell/cover half and keep half. It seems to work for me. And of course I enter stops the moment I put on a trade.

What software do you use?
I use wall-street-city
and manually type in symbol after symbol.
I use window-on-wall-street, where I have typed in
thousands of symbols, to help me find ones that might be in play soon.

This is for swing trades. There has got to be a better way. I never see so many.

Interesting article on EXFO
business2.com 

I don't think it will be pulling back to 30 though as suggested in this article... wasn't it put on George Guilder's list this week? If so, it may go parabolic for a short time and then collapse, as most of his picks have done.

Soujourner Smith: I use Qcharts and many of my trades are culled from Jenna's, (Market Gems) watch list and Earning's Plays. Since I don't have enough capital or mental power to trade all eight or ten, my real task is choosing the one or two that I think are best. Also, my on-line firm has a "streamer" so I can watch as many stocks as I choose; it's quite helpful. I generally list 2 or 3 stocks I'm interested in buying, 2 or 3 I may short, a couple in a strong sector. And of course I have these stocks in my Qcharts list along with the NASDAQ and S&P futures.

Interesting indeed. Wish you could bottle your energy and drive......I'd buy some.<g>

I just can't keep up with the reading, even when they are on my watch list. The other problem of course is that when I've just missed something I have a tough time convincing myself to chase it. Way back when, I missed MLNM at $17 based on an excellent write up in the Economist, and then literally sat and watched it roar to $300. Never did own a single share. As Yul Brynor said in the King and I "That sure is a puzzlement"

Keep up the good work, it's awesome to behold

Cheers
Trev

thanks.
I am currently a member of Jenna's site.

I did very well last year with IPOs - very easy then.
Got crunched the last 3 months trying some things new
for me.
Trying to rebuild now.
