If anyone has a Price-Volume-Momentum (PVM) EA/Indicator I would appreciate your posting it. Enjoy Download Link:

I have been using both Megadroid and FAPturbo52 for a good while. Both are excellent in getting you into a good trade....but...I will never...ever....walk away from my computer and rely on it to spend my hard earned money. Therefore, instead of watching both programs go up & down looking for an exit, I monitor them and manually exit my trades. This gets me out of the trade and allows the programs another shot at getting you back into the hunt for a new trade.....otherwise, you may sit and watch it for hours wishing you had exited on that last spike. Neither program is idea for "turn it on and leave it" operation. Regards, Jim

Thx for your indicators. Can these be imported into NinjaTrader? Regards

I think they are.....at least some of them. If they have physical addresses instead of drop-box addresses, they may be legitimate development firms.

Actually, Click-Bank has a good record it seems in refunding. They did inquire to my wife's issues with the program before refunding. I'm impressed. You know, I've been looking at all those Forex systems websites and for some reason, they all look the same and have, for the most part, the same verbage and website design.........hummmmmmmmmmmm

Anton, I sold that about 24 hours after I bought them......only made 5% on them but some bad news popped up after I purchased them. JPx2

Anton, She seemed to make money with the FapTurbo system only during certain hours of the day. (Using the EUR/USD pair). It became such a joke she ask for a refund through 'Click-Bank' and got it. Now she trades using a manual system she got from a site called 'Forex Nirvana'. It's a free download called "Drain The Bank" and she is making good money. My congrates go to those guys who spend their time and resources to build systems that actually work......and don't charge for it. However, my wife did donate to the guy as it was well worth it.

I found this on another web site and thought it had some good points. You can pick and choose which items on your PC to turn On or Off to get your system running at top speed: Here's the guide: DISABLE INDEXING SERVICES Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don't search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following: 1. Go to Start 2. Click Settings 3. Click Control Panel 4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs 5. Click the Add/Remove Window Components 6. Uncheck the Indexing services 7. Click Next OPTIMISE DISPLAY SETTINGS Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can waste system resources. To optimise: 1.Go to Start 2. Click Settings 3. Click Control Panel 4. Click System 5. Click Advanced tab 6. In the Performance tab click Settings 7. Leave only the following ticked: - Show shadows under menus - Show shadows under mouse pointer - Show translucent selection rectangle - Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop - Use visual styles on windows and buttons DISABLE PERFORMANCE COUNTERS Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC's performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea. To disable: 1. download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List(http://www.Mcft.com/windows2000/remove404.mspx) 2.Then select each counter in turn in the 'Extensible performance counters' window and clear the 'performance counters enabled' checkbox at the bottom.button below. SPEEDUP FOLDER BROWSING You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly: 1. Open My Computer 2. Click on Tools menu 3. Click on Folder Options 4. Click on the View tab. 5. Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box 6. Click Apply 7. Click Ok 8. Reboot your computer IMPROVE MEMORY USAGE Cacheman Improves the performance of your computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory and a number of other settings. Once Installed: 1.Go to Show Wizard and select All 2.Run all the wizards by selecting Next or Finished until you are back to the main menu. Use the defaults unless you know exactly what you are doing. 3.Exit and Save Cacheman 4.Restart Windows OPTIMISE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION There are lots of ways to do this but by far the easiest is to run TCP/IP Optimizer. 1. Download(http://www.speedguide.net/files/tcpoptimizer.exe) and install 2. Click the General Settings tab and select your Connection Speed (Kbps) 3. Click Network Adapter and choose the interface you use to connect to the Internet 4. Check Optimal Settings then Apply 5. Reboot OPTIMISE YOUR PAGEFILE If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file. 1. Right click on My Computer and select Properties 2. Select the Advanced tab 3. Under Performance choose the Settings button 4. Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change 5. Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file. Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size. RUN BOOTVIS - IMPROVE BOOT TIMES download from(http://www.majorgeeks.com) BootVis will significantly improve boot times 1. Download and Run 2. Select Trace 3. Select Next Boot and Driver Trace 4. A Trace Repetitions screen will appear, select Ok and Reboot 5. Upon reboot, BootVis will automatically start, analyze and log your system's boot process. When it's done, in the menu go to Trace and select Optimize System 6. Reboot. 7. When your machine has rebooted wait until you see the Optimizing System box appear. Be patient and wait for the process to complete REMOVE THE DESKTOP PICTURE Your desktop background consumes a fair amount of memory and can slow the loading time of your system. Removing it will improve performance. 1. Right click on Desktop and select Properties 2. Select the Desktop tab 3. In the Background window select None 4. Click Ok REMOVE FONTS FOR SPEED Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts down to just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require. 1. Open Control Panel 2. Open Fonts folder 3. Move fonts you don't need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain. DISABLE UNNECESSARY SERVICES Because Windows XP has to be all things to all people it has many services running that take up system resources that you will never need. Below is a list of services that can be disabled on most machines: Alerter Clipbook Computer Browser Distributed Link Tracking Client Fast User Switching Help and Support - (If you use Windows Help and Support leave this enabled) Human Interface Access Devices Indexing Service IPSEC Services Messenger Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security) Portable Media Serial Number Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security) Remote Procedure Call Locator Remote Registry (disabled for extra security) Remote Registry Service Secondary Logon Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security) Server SSDP Discovery Service - (Unplug n' Pray will disable this) Telnet TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Upload Manager Universal Plug and Play Device Host Windows Time Wireless Zero Configuration (Do not disable if you use a wireless network) Workstation To disable these services: Go to Start and then Run and type "services.msc" Doubleclick on the service you want to change Change the startup type to 'Disable" TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE System Restore can be a useful if your computer is having problems, however storing all the restore points can literally take up Gigabytes of space on your hard drive. To turn off System Restore: Open Control Panel Click on Performance and Maintenance Click on System Click on the System Restore tab Tick 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives' Click 'Ok' DEFRAGMENT YOUR PAGEFILE Keeping your pagefile defragmented can provide a major performance boost. One of the best ways of doing this is to creat a separate partition on your hard drive just for your page file, so that it doesn't get impacted by normal disk usage. Another way of keeping your pagefile defragmented is to run PageDefrag. This cool little app can be used to defrag your pagefile, and can also be set to defrag the pagefile everytime your PC starts. To install: Download(http://www.sysinternals.com) and Run PageDefrag Tick "Defrag at next Reboot", Click "Ok" Reboot SPEEDUP FOLDER ACCESS - DISABLE LAST ACCESS UPDATE If you have a lot of folders and subdirectories on your computer, when you access a directory XP wastes a lot of time updating the time stamp showing the last access time for that directory and for ALL sub directories. To stop XP doing this you need to edit the registry. If you are uncomfortable doing this then please do not attempt. Go to Start and then Run and type "regedit" Click through the file system until you get to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\Control\FileSys tem" Right-click in a blank area of the window on the right and select 'DWORD Value' Create a new DWORD Value called 'NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate' Then Right click on the new value and select 'Modify' Change the Value Data to '1' Click 'OK' DISABLE SYSTEM SOUNDS Surprisingly, the beeps that your computer makes for various system sounds can slow it down, particularly at startup and shut-down. To fix this turn off the system sounds: Open Control Panel Click Sounds and Audio Devices Check Place volume icon in taskbar Click Sounds Tab Choose "No Sounds" for the Sound Scheme Click "No" Click "Apply" Click "OK" IMPROVE BOOT TIMES A great new feature in Mcft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option in enables but on some builds it is not so below is how to turn it on. Go to Start Menu and Click Run Type in "Regedit" then click ok Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\M icrosoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction" Select "Enable" from the list on the right Right on it and select "Modify" Change the value to "Y to enable" Reboot IMPROVE SWAPFILE PERFORMANCE If you have more than 256MB of RAM this tweak will considerably improve your performance. It basically makes sure that your PC uses every last drop of memory (faster than swap file) before it starts using the swap file. Go to Start then Run Type "msconfig.exe" then ok Click on the System.ini tab Expand the 386enh tab by clicking on the plus sign Click on new then in the blank box type"ConservativeSwapfileUsage =1" Click OK Restart PC MAKE YOUR MENUS LOAD FASTER This is one of my favourite tweaks as it makes a huge difference to how fast your machine will 'feel'. What this tweak does is remove the slight delay between clicking on a menu and XP displaying the menu. Go to Start then Run Type 'Regedit' then click 'Ok' Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\" Select "MenuShowDelay" Right click and select "Modify' Reduce the number to around "100" This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to "0" but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway. I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood MAKE PROGRAMS LOAD FASTER This little tweak tends to work for most programs. If your program doesn't load properly just undo the change. For any program: Right-click on the icon/shortcut you use to launch the program Select properties In the 'target' box, add ' /prefetch:1' at the end of the line. Click "Ok" Voila - your programs will now load faster. IMPROVE XP SHUTDOWN SPEED This tweak reduces the time XP waits before automatically closing any running programs when you give it the command to shutdown. Go to Start then select Run Type 'Regedit' and click ok Find 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\' Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout' Right click and select 'Modify' Change the value to '1000' Click 'OK' Now select 'HungAppTimeout' Right click and select 'Modify' Change the value to '1000' Click 'OK' Now find 'HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop' Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout' Right click and select 'Modify' Change the value to '1000' Click 'OK' Now find 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\Control\' Select 'WaitToKillServiceTimeout' Right click and select 'Modify' Change the value to '1000' Click 'OK' SPEED UP BOOT TIMES I This tweak works by creating a batch file to clear the temp and history folders everytime you shutdown so that your PC doesn't waste time checking these folders the next time it boots. It's quite simple to implement: 1. Open Notepad and create a new file with the following entries: RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName without quotes"\Local Settings\History" RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\History" RD /S /q "D:\Temp\" <–"Deletes temp folder, type in the location of your temp folder" 2. Save the new as anything you like but it has to be a '.bat' file e.g. fastboot.bat or deltemp.bat 3. Click 'Start' then 'Run' 4. Type in 'gpedit.msc' and hit 'ok' 5. Click on 'Computer Configuration' then 'Windows Settings' 6. Double-click on 'Scripts' and then on 'Shutdown' 7. Click 'Add' and find the batch file that you created and then press 'Ok' SPEED UP BOOT TIMES II When your PC starts it usually looks for any bootable media in any floppy or cd-rom drives you have installed before it gets around to loading the Operating System from the HDD. This can waste valuable time. To fix this we need to make some changes to the Bios. 1. To enter the bios you usually press 'F2' or 'delete' when your PC starts 2. Navigate to the 'Boot' menu 3. Select 'Boot Sequence' 4. Then either move your Hard drive to the top position or set it as the 'First Device' 5. Press the 'Escape' key to leave the bios. Don't forget to save your settings before exiting Note: Once this change has been made, you won't be able to boot from a floppy disc or a CD-rom. If for some strange reason you need to do this in the future, just go back into your bios, repeat the steps above and put your floppy or CD-rom back as the 'First Device' SPEED UP BOOT TIMES III When your computer boots up it usually has to check with the network to see what IP addresses are free and then it grabs one of these. By configuring a manually assigned IP address your boot time will improve. To do this do the following: 1. Click on 'Start' and then ''Connect To/Show All Connections' 2. Right-click your network adapter card and click 'Properties'. 3. On the 'General' tab, select 'TCP/IP' in the list of services and click 'Properties' 4.I n the TCP/IP properties, click 'Use the following address' and enter an IP address for your PC. If you are using a router this is usually 192.168.0.xx or 192.168.1.xx. If you are not sure what address you could check with your ISP or go to 'Start/run' and type 'cmd' and then 'ipconfig/all'. This will show your current IP settings which you will need to copy. 5. Enter the correct details for 'Subnet mask', 'Default gateway' and 'DNS Server'. Again if you are not sure what figures to enter use 'ipconfig/all' as in stage 4. FREE UP MEMORY I found this useful app via FixMyXP. ClearMem Is an Excellent Tool for speeding up your XP Computer (especially if your system has been on for awhile and you have a lot of applications open). What it does, is it Forces pages out of physical memory and reduces the size of running processes if working sets to a minimum. When you run this tool, the system pauses because of excessive high-priority activity associated with trimming the working sets. To run this tool, your paging file must be at least as large as physical memory. To Check your Paging File: 1. Go to your control panel, then click on 'System', then go to the 'Advanced' Tab, and Under 'Performance' click 'Settings' then the 'Advanced' Tab 2. On the Bottom you should see 'Virtual Memory' and a value. This is the value that must be at least as large as how much memory is in your system. 3. If the Virtual Memory Value is smaller than your system memory, click Change and change the Min Virtual Memory to a number that is greater than your total system memory, then click 'Set' and Reboot. 4. Once you have rebooted install ClearMem ENSURE XP IS USING DMA MODE XP enables DMA for Hard-Drives and CD-Roms by default on most ATA or ATAPI (IDE) devices. However, sometimes computers switch to PIO mode which is slower for data transfer - a typical reason is because of a virus. To ensure that your machine is using DMA: 1. Open 'Device Manager' 2. Double-click 'IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers' 3. Right-click 'Primary Channel' and select 'Properties' and then 'Advanced Settings' 4. In the 'Current Transfer Mode' drop-down box, select 'DMA if Available' if the current setting is 'PIO Only' ADD CORRECT NETWORK CARD SETTINGS Some machines suffer from jerky graphics or high CPU usage even when a machine is idle. A possible solution for this, which, can also can help network performance is to: 1. RightClick 'My Computer' 2. Select 'Manage' 3. Click on 'Device Manager' 4. DoubleClick your network adaptor under 'Network Adapters' 5. In the new window, select the 'Advanced' tab 6. Select 'Connection Type' and select the correct type for your card and then Reboot REMOVE ANNOYING DELETE CONFIRMATION MESSAGES Although not strictly a performance tweak I love this fix as it makes my machine 'feel' faster. I hate the annoying 'are you sure?' messages that XP displays, especially if I have to use a laptop touchpad to close them. To remove these messages: 1. Right-click on the 'Recycle Bin' on the desktop and then click 'Properties' 2. Clear the 'Display Delete Confirmation Dialog' check box and click 'Ok' If you do accidently delete a file don't worry as all is not lost. Just go to your Recycle Bin and 'Restore' the file. DISABLE PREFETCH ON LOW MEMORY SYSTEMS Prefetch is designed to speed up program launching by preloading programs into memory - not a good idea is memory is in short supply, as it can make programs hang. To disable prefetch: 1. Click 'Start' then 'Run' 2. Type in 'Regedit' then click 'Ok' 3. Navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Cur rentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\ ' 4. Right-click on "EnablePrefetcher" and set the value to '0' 5. Reboot. Enjoy

I guess what has enthused me all these years is the charts themselves. Agreed that all these indicators have to be in place to make the system work. However, can we consolidate all the scribblings on the chart to show just the Buy/Sell signals.......(assuming the actual indicators are running in the background). JPx2

What charting package do you use?

I'm pulling the trigger on the following Positive news: Stock: Aerospostale (ARO) BUYING FIVE (5) May 30.00 AROEF.X 2.35 CALLS SELLING FIVE (5) May 35.00 AROEG.X 0.40 CALLS Total purchase RISK is: 1.95 or $975.00 I'm setting my exit trigger to close this spread at 25% profit. If it goes into a very good trend, then I will sell two and hold the others for a better profit. Remember Money Management..... JPx2

Both Positive (calls) and Negative (puts) announcements. Another confirmation site is the Yahoo Options Center. There, you can watch not only news, but you can use their free one-click screen to observe a potential stock options volume.....whether Call or Put. Whatever brokerage you use, set up a papertrade account and try it....I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I'll do my normal vetting and post my planned trade for next week. Then we can all monitor it's performance. Maybe that is the best way to the technique. JPx2

.....I have a few that run backwards on me from time to time. But the whole idea is the same a buying stocks......money management. Sell that option and move on to the next. I used to spend hours monitoring my options and the underlying stock as well as the volatility. Now, I wonder why I wasted my time. After your trade is confirmed, set your stop loss and your profit target and forget it. There are approx. fifteen (15) stocks that I can trade on a seasonal trend. That's the best way to go rather than constantly scanning for new ideas. If you go to the brokerage I use, http://www.optionsmonster.com , you will see that they provide a scanner right on the page that already has trading ideas. If your not sure about yourself, trade a vertical straddle ie. Take stock "TCK" for instance. If it's trading today at say $7.25 per share, buy one 7.50 CALL and sell one 10.00 CALL......you can't loose. JPx2

Long Calls or Puts......every now and then I'll do a Bull Spread or a Bear Spread. But like I said before, I'm old, I'm not in good health, and I'll do anything to keep myself away from the computer screen. JPx2

Probably the best video I've seen came from the developers at http://www.bestchoicesoftware.com .....there is one area...in the help section I think...where there is a video on options. It's the very best explanation of Options I've heard....it's simple and can show new options investors how to do it without throwing out the baby with the wash. I'm not a BestChoice user or sponsor...I just happened on the site while searching for something else. JPx2

......Always......It just keeps things simple for me. JPx2

I also monitor the Positve and Negative Pre-Announcement on http://www.RTTnews.com It too is free just for signing up. JPx2

I've been informed I was wrong again.....darn I'm glad I'm human. I was inform the actual seminar came from Preston James (The Options Pirate). If I can locate my audio file I will place it in my 4share.com download page and pass the link on to all. Thx JPx2 "I have been driven so many times upon my knee's by the overwhelming conviction that I had no other place to go. " Abraham Lincoln

Please note that the reference to RightLine is invalid. I think that may be where info I received originally came from. Nevertheless, use any earnings reporting website for free. JPx2

How To Make Money With The Earnings Calendar Earnings season offers weeks of excellent trading opportunities. Online Stock Trading Portal Earnings Season - The 800-Pound Gorilla Every three months publicly owned companies release earnings reports. This gigantic flood of earnings announcements has become the equivalent of a massive "Balance Sheet Open House." Investors, stock analysts, and traders around the globe routinely check earnings calendars for the latest updates on the successes and failures of corporate earnings strategies. Accounting ledgers are scrutinized. CEOs are interrogated. The media puts their spin on the news. Thousands of companies file earnings reports, all within a few weeks of each other. Stocks fly up and down the charts as each new earnings report is announced. Earnings Reports - Wild Price Swings = Opportunity Due to this constant release of earnings reports, stocks have a much greater likelihood of rapid -- and often destructive -- price swings. Market reactions create incredible volatility. Even companies who haven't yet released earnings reports are vulnerable to the frenzied price action. Analysts and traders scramble to interpret how one company's earnings report may lend insight into another. Investor reactions often make no apparent sense whatsoever. Many scream of outright contradiction as "bad" news propels a stock higher, yet "good" news sends a stock plummeting. Earnings Season is often frustrating -- even for Wall Street regulars. Fortunately a few guidelines let investors and traders avoid earnings season confusion and make money trading stocks during the quarterly explosion of Earnings Reports. All it takes is a bit of education, risk management, and the RightLine Earnings Calendar. Rule #1 - Things Aren't Always As They Seem To understand the dynamics of Earnings Season, it's important to realize that there isn't necessarily a strong relationship between a company's profits - or losses - and that same company's stock performance. For example, just because an earnings report shows a profit does not automatically mean the company's stock price will go up. Other influential factors are more important during Earnings Season. Price momentum, support and resistance areas on stock charts, earnings performance versus analyst expectations, and performance comparisons to industry competitors are the factors that usually produce exaggerated impacts on price in the short term. Why? Because short-term traders make money from the volatility created by the earnings reports, not necessarily by the fundamental strength of the earnings themselves. Profit potential for investors and traders correlates directly to fluctuations in share price. Those fluctuations evolve out of what can perhaps best be described as "uncertainty." Rule #2 - Wall Street Despises Surprises The old saying that "Wall Street hates uncertainty" is especially true during Earnings Season. For example, Lets say ten out of ten analysts expect losses in earnings and revenue for a certain company. When the company's earnings report matches those expectations, the market response is usually "no big deal." The stock doesn't drop because investors were expecting the earnings report to reflect analyst's predictions. When the earnings report matches expectations, no one is surprised. No surprises means the stock market tends to rest easier. Okay, are you ready to covert all of this earnings education into cash? How To Make Money With The Earnings Calendar There is another an old saying that wise investors "buy the rumor and sell the news." The "buy" part of this notion is often applied to rumors about new products or company takeovers. It can also be applied very profitably to rumors that a company will report earnings higher than expected. This is one surprise that Wall Street loves! The idea is to buy the stock early when the "good news" rumor is beginning to spread. Then you sell the stock immediately once the rumor becomes a fact. When applied to better-than-expected earnings reports, this strategy is often called "The Pre Earnings Run Strategy." Here's how it works: The Earnings Run Strategy 1. Locate a company that has a good track record of releasing positive earnings report surprises. Make sure that the firm is expected to beat analyst's earnings estimates in their next quarterly earnings report. You can find plenty of good candidates in The RightLine Report . 2. Check the RightLine Earnings Calendar to see when the company is scheduled to release their earnings report. 3. Two to three weeks prior to the earnings calendar date, check the stock's chart to see if the stock is trending higher or bouncing from a recent dip in price. If it is, use the RightLine Risk Control Calculator, to determine the optimum number of shares to purchase. 4. Buy that exact number of shares, then wait as prices rise due to the anticipated positive earnings report. Check the price action daily. Sell most or all of the shares for a profit to the group of incoming buyers just prior to the earnings announcement. 5. If you sell most but not all of your shares, wait for the expected "good" news announcement that occurs on the earnings calendar date. Then sell the rest of the stock on the final surge in prices caused by investors and rookie traders buying the "good" news in the earnings report. This surge usually takes place just after the earnings report is released. Step number five can be a bit risky. Traders sometimes sell their shares just prior to the earnings report announcement, which can cause the price to drop the session before the earnings calendar announcement date. Because of this risk you may want to sell ALL of your shares just before the earnings calendar date. On the plus side, the payoff for holding on to a few shares can be very profitable. On the downside the price may drop sharply immediately after the earnings report is released regardless of how good the earnings are. If earnings are poor, the "sell the news" concept is magnified due to the large number of disappointed investors. The only way to win is if earnings report outrageously exceeds estimates, and is far better than anyone expected. Stocks trade on anticipation and expectation. If a good earnings report is anticipated and expectations are merely met, professional traders will usually take profits immediately. Bottom Line: there are no regulations or laws that require companies to release earnings reports on their published earnings calendar date. Public companies can and often do change the earnings calendar release date without notice. This is especially true in the week prior to the published earnings report date. Whenever you are in an Earnings Run Strategy stock position, regularly check the earnings calendar to make sure the earnings release date hasn't changed. You can confirm the Earnings Calendar date by going to the NYSE or NASDAQ Earnings Calendars. If the earnings release date has changed, then double check the Risk Management portion of your plan to make sure you lock in profits and avoid damaging losses. Holding a large position past the earnings calendar date can expose a trader or investor to undue risk. Always be aware of the scheduled Earnings Calendar date for any stocks you own, and take profits early. You can use this Earnings Calendar tactic to make money every quarter. Start looking for these opportunities in mid March, June, September, and December. Good luck with your profits!

There are several out there: even MSN. com has news and earnings estimates on their site.

My wife is NOW making some money with that FAPTurbo system. She's running it on Metatrader-4 through Forex.com ...I still hate it.....but it's her money so who am I to say.....Forex is just too high in their spreads for me.

I always look one month ahead. I'll see if I can relocate that short seminar and pass it on. One of my latest trades was AT&T (T: NYSE) I bought the Apr 26 Call. It took a shot down today but analyst are reported earnings as expected. I'll be out of it next week.

What ??? Too many critics and experts on this site...no more posts from me! Some people wouldn't recognize sincere help if it bit their nose off.... :thumbs down:
