Thanks for the kind words! A quick answer is that I've changed. You
know I can't resist tweaking my system <G>. I still like to look at
charts on stocks I don't have a position in with the deviation on the short term
standard deviation channel set at 2 when there isn't much data. Then after
there is a little more data with at least one reaction, I change the deviation
1.8, 1.5, 1.3, or 1 whichever is smallest that still envelopes all the data
without intersecting any. However, over the last few months I got to
thinking that using the different extremes for my target and stop might make
more sense. I've now decided that it does and I set the target and stop on
a deviation of 2 and 1, respectively as I described earlier today. For all
my open positions I've now have my charts set up with the short term up trend
channels constructed with a deviation of 1 even if data is intersected to
give me a quick picture of how close I am to my stops. Then a couple of
times a week I change the deviation to 2 to see if I should raise my
target. If I'm close to the target, I even check it daily.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Do you think that makes sense or do
you like the old way better?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I for one wish to thank you for the time you
have taken broaching these important issues and for sharing your strategies
that were no doubt gleaned from the school of hard knocks. I have one
question. Previously, you employed a process that, when enough
reaction points were evident, often used a standard deviation of 1.8, 1.5,
1.3 or 1.0. If I remember correctly, the standard deviation you chose
was that which would just encompass all of the data. Are you still
using this process. Or have you chosen to always stick with the
standard deviation 2.0. Again, many thanks for your
efforts.</FONT></DIV>

Larry,
Thanks for your response. I've found that in order to download data from
stockedge/signal you must specify the correct address in the Metastock
Options as CM1.DBC.com not the default. This instruction does not appear to
be written in any manual. With the correct internet address one can update
securities kept in a folder in the Downloader.
They must have figured the 50 symbol problem out since I constantly get a
Data Manager error that either limit my data collection to 50 symbols or
Data Manager will do it for me during its midnight run.
So far, l've spent 3-4 hours trying to configure Stockedge and Metastock and
managed to download exactly 1 bar of data for each symbol. The metastock
setup instructions are not 1-2-3 clearcut by any means. Thus am turning to
the metastock list for help in looking for a simple copy from Stockedge
window to paste in a Metastock window, that doesn't exist.
