Newbie with a bunch of Questions

[Spineli]

A question to all,

If you had a $1m trading paper portfolio and your strategy was to make the most monetary gains you could over 3 months (regardless of the risk), and could only invest upto a quater of that in an individual stock in the ASX300,
what would be your Top 4 preferential shares?

Cheers

What is you BFB formula? Out of interest, I'll run it across US optionable stocks and see what it shows.

((10000/C)* (Mov(ATR(1),200,S))/100)

Although most of those tickers are, or recently have been severely whacked.

A further filter required to get rid of the absolute rubbish.

Ask Radge on Reecap. He'll know.

Okay, so while we are on volume spread. Wouldn't it be useful to know how the volume was distributed in the daily range, and if not why not?
A simple example:
Open 1.00 Low 0.95 High 1.15 Close 1.14 Total Volume 10 million. Say only 100 thousand shares were traded in the 0.95 to 1.00 range and more than 9 million in the 1.10 to 1.15 range. Would you want to /need to interpret this different if the distribution was over 9 million traded in the 0.95 to 1 range and 100 thousand shares traded in the 1.10 to 1.15 range.

Yes you can do this with shorter timeframe analysis.
Steidlmayer or better known as Market Profile is one sort of specific analysis which will look at distribution.

Trading shorter timeframe charts will do similar things in that much can be analysed from a single day bar from say 72------5 minute bars.

This would be helpful when looking for an entry or exit to a position (timing it) and if you were trading smaller timeframes particularly futures.

Since when was HDR $4.78!!!
Used to be a 7c stock.......

Is HDR even still listed. I thought it was taken over...
My IRESS and ASX site shows as invalid security...

 

[rub92me]

4.78 is not the price for HDR, it's the BFB value... And yes, it is no longer listed, it was taken over for just over $2 a share (a good premium over the sliding sp at that time; I remember it well )

yep its not only possible but common practise and highlighted by a crossed trade. Provided they have a valid buyer and seller at the same price they can transact the whole amount if there are no others at that price, otherwise the transaction must be done 50% at a time.
Also according to Nick the broker can be acting as principal and take the otherside of the trade to the client.
So if its highlighted by a crossed trade then its neither concealed or can be viewed as a clandestine activity as some forumites may believe.
