1. How do you shade your charts? Is this feature through stockchart.com? I'm color shading my charts manually with Photoshop. Don't know how to do it with Stockchart.com's annotation functions ... but someone on the Clearstation QQQQ board once pointed out that it is possible and posted a colored chart.
2. Have you considered using another indicator with 2 MACD (i.e. CMF) to confirm a trend change? Quite a few suggestions have been made about additional indicators or modifications to the "Poor Man's 2x (v.8)" chart system ... and I appreciate every one of them. I take a look at each suggestion and also try to post it so others can look to. However, I'm kind of the odd ball in the group because I keep trying to make it simpler and simpler ... and try not to add more indicators. Or, I'll drop one thing and add another to keep the variables low. I acknowledge that it is dangerous to not have certain info that other indicators provide. Interestingly enough, however, Camelguy (CS SPY board) recently shared an article with my on the advantages of using simple indicator settings (http://tinyurl.com/ddoxw).

Also, since this is my last allotted post for the day, just going to mention a few things ...
1. I can't believe the nut case has followed us over here! 1best is the very reason we left ... and now she's followed us here! Reminds me of the horror movie where a family moves into a haunted house and finds it's inhabited by ghosts. So, they pack up and leave ... only to find out that the ghost leaves the house with them, follows them, and is now haunting them in their new house. We are living that very horror movie!
2. Hi Paul (aka Vaquero, aka Pokersam). Great to see you here. And, also it's nice to see other familar names from the CS QQQQ board. Reminds me of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" when at the end of the movie, people were stepping off of the space ship and announcing their identity. Example, "Frank Jones, taxi cab driver, Clearstation QQQQ board, July 2005." (LOL)
3. Since this is my last allotted post for the day, if anyone wants to email me directly my email address is ... kenwong96815@yahoo.com. Can't wait until I get approved here and can post more. Think I read that approved "free level" memberships can post up to 15 times a day. That's way more than I need.
