i buy stocks only when they fulfill two conditions:
- their macd histograms are below the macd 0 - line and
- their current prices are higher than their most recent bottoms ...

1. AC - no... altho the macd histogram is already below the 0 - line ... the price closed lower pa ...
2. ALI - no ... altho the macd histogram is already below the 0 - line ... the price is not higher pa ...
3. BDO - yes ... cutloss just below 122.00 (example: 121.00) ...
4. JFC - no ... altho the macd histogram is already below the 0 - line ... the price is lower pa ...
5. MER - no ... altho the macd histogram just breached the 0 - line to the downside ... it closed at the low ...

A VERY SHORT COURSE ON HOW I TRADE:
*my buy criteria: i buy when the following happens:
1. the macd histogram is below the 0 - line
2. if the current price is higher than the most recent price bottom
3. i buy on breakout ONLY when adding to an ALREADY EXISTING position
*when do i sell? i sell when:
1. i cutloss just below the most recent bottom
2. my trail stop is hit (this means that my position is already net positive)
*what stocks do i buy?
1. index stocks
2. stocks that have a current story as disclosed in the edge website ...
*what do i do when i start buying a stock?
1. when i buy, i buy in tranches .... when i see a stock fulfilling my buy criteria .... i initially buy 1/3 or 1/4 of my allocation for a particular stock ... then i wait and observe ...
2. on subsequent days ... when the price of the stock advances... i add 1/3 of my allocation ....
3. i add my last 1/3 allocation when the stock advances some more ...
