Today, I committed a trading error worthy of the BONEHEAD TRADE OF THE YEAR AWARD!
One of my trading buddies told me CAMH had news. The NEXT NTRI filter had picked this stock weeks ago and I missed it then. I wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.
The way I like to "trade" these type of stocks is to buy 5,000 - 10,000 shares and when it runs up enough so that I can sell some shares to get my original money out, I sell.
Well, a slight mental miscalculation on my part didn't trigger me to sell when I was in a position to have 500 "free" shares. Of course, I missed my chance. I BLEW IT!!
So I have written the FREE SHARES display so this doesn't to you! I wrote an indicator for TradeStation first so I have the FREE SHARES in real time.
The SET variables iTradeComm and iTradeSize should be adjusted to your portfolio.
MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

Closed DVW today for 14.2% ($2,600) gain over 2 days.
Would have held longer but the stock became dead money and was not moving.
Didn't want to wait around for it go up or down and took the "C A S H".
Hey, did I already say how great the Next NTRI filter is?

TradeStation version of THE NEXT NTRI?
I don't think I coded one.
Filters are for selecting stocks.
Running the SF filter here selects the stocks for me to consider trading.
Perhaps I don't understand what you are asking for?
Unless you are talking about the FREE SHARES INDICATOR... I posted that on the TradeStation forum.

Today I used this selection criteria derivative of the Next NTRI filter.
I found that there were too few performing stocks today and this opens it up to around 100 to watch, which works in my platform nicely.
Keep using the TRO originals for a nice easy to watch list.

Stocktrader, that's funny!
You went back to the old TREND FILTER:
/* Selection Criteria */
trend equal to 111
I wrote that a long time ago!!
Talk about keeping it simple.

Thought I would enhance your filter a bit:
ADD COLUMN T10a
ADD COLUMN T60a
ADD COLUMN T200a
Displays the number of days the stock's 10/60/200 day trend has been positive.
A -1 means the trend has been up more than 100 days!!
Now you can sort/select using those variables/columns.
HTH.
MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

Hi,
I posted this question on another string but I think this is the appropriate place to ask. I am new to investing and am curently in educate mode. Would some one explain waht "NEXT NTRI" filter is/means and what it does.
