<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you haven't already checked on this, why don't you look at
all your previous trades to see what would have happened if - rather than taking
a quick quarter point profit what would have happened if you'd have moved your
stop to breakeven (when you had scalped out your quick profit), and then trail a
tight stop with a profit target based on the 5 day average true range.
This strategy may give you enough "breathing room" to allow the trade
to move far enough so that rather than scalping out a quarter point profit you
could then put in a trailing stop at that point to at least "lock-in"
what you'd have otherwise taken, but allow yourself the opportunity for much
larger gains. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I personally used to have lots of small profits
and a few small losses, and now I have lots of small profits, a few breakevens,
a few small losses, and importantly a few LARGE gains; the bottom line has
improved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hope that helps.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Now that I'm no longer trading by the seat of my
pants and trying to do this like a grown-up, I could use a little more
advice. I'm trying to use triple screens to establish my entry &
exit points. I'm watching a level II screen and a time & sales
screen also to daytrade Nasdaq stocks like INTC. As I've said before,
I'm afraid to stay in for long & rarely capture more than a 1/8 - 1/4
point move. My losses average about an 1/8 point. What I want is
a trading system that gives me some confidence to stay in a little longer
and capture more of the trend, not just the immediate move. Any
suggestions? Thanks and good trading!!</FONT></DIV>

John,
In regards to your question about the Andrews/Newton techniques. You
asked if anyone has direct experience with it. I have been watching them
update their site for quite some time, so I know the end of July signal to buy
bonds was posted on the date they said it was. This particular signal is one
which they get a few times a year and as we can all see with 20/20 hindsight
it was very profitable. On this real traders site I noticed that R. Muldowney
posted a sell alert using the Andrews signal in August before the drop in the
S
I've been trading for several years and have examined several trading courses
and systems. I prefer to understand what I am doing so that I can modify it to
a time frame that is profitable for me. Before I put my money on the line I
checked them out. They teach about 25-100 people a year and make their money
on trading and other businesses. They are available to talk to when you have
questions. Since purchasing the course I have talked to 6 others that have
taken the course and they concur that it is a solid set of techniques that
makes them money. I have talked to traders who apply the techniques to
intra-day and position trading.
A few weeks ago I purchased their basic and advanced course. The basic course
is not very expensive. Last week on Thursday there was a buy signal in the
S&P. I got long and unloaded 1/2 of my position at the opening yesterday. I'm
a happy camper.
