Based on a post John Manasco gave some time ago, I wrote a system which
screened stocks based on his system (with only minor modifications),
since it corresponded very closely to many things I've been kicking
around; new highs, accumulation, high trending characteristics, adequate
liquidity and enough price to make it not quite so speculative.
Anyway, it picked Montana Power (MTP) on 9/23. As I like to buy on
strength, I put in a stop order for 42 5/8. (high of 9/23 + 1/16). On
9/24, sure enough, it hit (barely).
Given the market of the last few days, I'm pleased (and surprised) to
note that it is up $3.25 so far.
Here's the original post:

Just wanted to share my good luck so far, and give Mr. Manasco credit
where credit is due.
