[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Need some help about how to write MS Code for a rule using Aroon ...

N,

First, you are welcome and second there is no need to apologize for 
asking questions.

My personal tendency in trading is to look for those candidates 
which I think are ready for a breakout into a trend. To do this I 
use something similar to the Guppy moving averages...basically just 
a bunch of moving averages. I don't use the Aroons but if I were 
initially I would probably look at longer time periods...say maybe a 
24 and a 50 in seperate windows. I'm looking for something that has 
broken above some rather flat long term moving averages. To use the 
Aroons I would look for an up move above 50 and the down to be 
declining, hopefully below 50. 

This is just for a basic screening.

Once I have my basic candidates selected I would change my tactics a 
bit, now looking for increases in volume and some signals from a 
modified version of a RSI that I use. I also consider some 
fundamental data at this time.

Thats usually enough to get me into a decent trade but I also have 
another tactic that I use to tell me when its time to exit a trade, 
basically using a trailing ATR stop.

Remember the idea is to win big and loose small.

As far as gurus that I would follow, I like Price Headley. More 
recently he's taken some top trading awards, uses a pretty simple 
system, and has made money when others are not.

Hope this helps,


Preston
