Oh and I have thought about options, but have promised myself not to get into that until I am more comfortable with them in general, and honestly I have too much on my plate as it is to even start trying to understand them. Definitely somethign I want to do in the future.

VCLK is a new one for today. Based on pre-market it looks to be opening higher, but I'll probably get in at the open if it doesn't open too much above yesterday's close, probably anything around 10.90 and I'll try to get in.

I was at the beach since Saturday, just got home tonight. I tried to reply from my Blackberry, but wasn't logged in, so my whole message got lost. I ended up selling today at 11.84. Looks like tha was the right call because I didn't get home until after 4:00 today, and i see it down pretty big after hours.

There are 4 new ones for today, and honestly I don't know which, if any, I will buy. I wanted to put them out there though, in case any of them interest any of you.
Last week my company decided that my department is no longer exempt from compliance requirements, effective at the end of this week. What this means is that I am now required to clear all trades through our compliance department before making any trades. While that rule by itself would severely hamper my trading, there is also a rule that you can not sell a stock within 60 days of purchase. Obviously that rule eliminates my program as a viable trading strategy.
Chances are, this is the end of my trading, so I don't know how often I'll be posting or reading here after this week. I think it would just make me mad to read about trades that others are making that I can't, so I'll probably just try to stay away.

There must be some way around that. Doesn't seem right that if you were using trades as a retirement account that they could hinder you like that.

Thanks for the well wishes. jg, they can limit it. the rule is still apparently more flexible than at most investment companies, but they have to protect themself and their clients. I understand the logic, just sucks that I made the decision to come here just 7 months ago partly because I would be able to continue trading.

Sorry man. Hope you at least were able to make a few bucks before I met my trading demise. Who knows though, I may be back someday if I can work something out, but I doubt it would be soon.

I still check in, but can't trade anything. Working on a solution, so hopefully I'll be back sooner than later. Not sure how it'll turn out though.

Well, you can still paper trade, right? Just not real-shares-trade.. I guess it's not the same, but could still be used to test your method, and help "stay in shape" for trading

Well, I'm back! Left my job last week and am going to try my hand at trading full time. I've got a bit of a safety net in that I will be working 1 day a week at my old job as a consultant to help the transition for a few months, as needed.
Wish me luck.
As far as this program, I ran it over the weekend, and just looked at the last two weeks. There would have been 3 signals, and all 3 would have hit the 5% target. I will be running the program daily again.

Basically whenever I buy something, I immediately put in a sell order 5% higher. So if I buy somethign at $10, I will sell it if it gets to $10.50 within 5 days (one trading week).
Now that I will be trading full time, I may go back to my program and really dig into the data to see if there is a better sell method, but the 5% gain was my target since I started this program a year or so ago.
