As most loyal readers of this blog know (and I know from Google Analytics that there are still about 750 really hardcore readers of this blog around), this blog has shifted gears a lot as my schedule and priorities have changed with time. In 2004, this was literally a reflection of my swing trading in stocks, with the neural net models my basis for all analysis. I still have the capability of screening the entire US stock market (imposing a $10 minimum stock price, which drive some people nuts as many will only trade low-priced stocks), and do a very competent job of figuring out which sectors were hottest from the long end and picking the best of the best from a momentum,Fibonacci price pattern, and value perspective. I could also invert the model for shorts (something I never did because I never really had to until we ran into the brick wall in 2008). I can still do that, but I chose not to as I began working on other projects.
I used to show people what I traded every day, for good or ill, and it was read very widely as I approached 2008. From that time forward, things began to change. I had to take a little business over after my brother passed away, and I decided to turn it into some kind of a cash flowing business (and it does in a small way now, and perhaps in a much larger way in the future). I also had begun to work on other projects and help others with their businesses. That has also taken off within the last year. I do not have the time to physically knock out the research I once did. Over the last couple of weeks, I finally repaired a software error that allows me to run the latest version of NeuroShell Day Trader Professional 6.2 and I have restored full capability to that model.
I am now considering turning that output (with an inverted screen for shorts) into a product with a friend of mine, a former prop trader, who now runs a training service of his own. This is a product I had considered creating in 2007 but put on hold as I took on other responsibilities.
What I would like to do in this blog, however, is to do some kind of bi-weekly sector analysis using the same kind of screens you used to see like this. What I hope to do is to find a WordPress widget that replicates the chart posting I used to do for Mr. Swing that will demonstrate the consistency of the patterns (and that readers really liked when I had that capability).
What I want to know is, what do you want me to focus on in this bi-weekly format? Sector analysis with individual stock names added, or would you simply want me to feature single stocks?
I do not have the time to post daily any longer. Between the forex trading and all the other stuff I do, it prevents me from getting real work done.
Many of you will not post in chat, but will send me an e-mail. My e-mail address for this blog is buffalotrader100@gmail.com. I can also post on forex as I see major patterns hit and when there might be a significant swing opportunity.
Thanks for supporting this blog!

Hey David! Happy new year! I’d like to see single stocks. I don’t run any fancy programs that can scan. So typically I look to people on the net I respect like yourself, Ryan over at chartswingtrader and Pradeep Bonde of stock bee for stocks that are setting up. I then manage my own entries and exists. So for me finding the “game” to hunt is much needed.
Thanks for all you do!

What I may do is look though a bunch of really solid growth names that have decent value and sector momentum. I did that with CTSH in 2009, and that one was a at least a 6 fold winner (and could have been swing traded reasonably well over the next couple of years after that). I will do my best when I see something that good (and there will be good ones coming, regardless of the market environment).
