saving ...

I'm saving charts for what could be called more conservative stocks ... mostly because the prices are higher ... I don't put a lot of stock in that, no pun intended. But the charts are more normal.

I'm placing complete emphasis on saving the charts. I've been experimenting continuously with methods for that. My latest insight is that the charts are valuable only if I review them regularly. I'm combining the functions of saving charts and maintaining a list of stocks to watch. Charts are saved as image files in a folder, named 1, 2, 3, etc., in the order they are saved, with symbol and date now added to the chart itself. Every chart reviewed is saved. When I review them, I'll assess whether I need the latest data, chart by chart. If I do, I'll go to the web for it.

Most of the stocks I'm looking at are in some kind of buying position. It's not surprising, because the screen is for stocks that are down. But just being down, and likely to go up, is not enough. A true fast method requires that the stock be ready to go up immediately. I'm not sure that any of the stocks I looked at today (30 of them) are actually in that position, but a few of them are nearly so.
