I am hoping to use BPI along with RSI and moving averages to make a model for trading ETFs. I would want as much long-term data of BPs and MACDs and RSIs in spreadsheet format as I can get to optimize the model. I’m relatively new to technical analysis but it sure appears that using such a model along with stop-loss orders would make a fairly safe and likely profitable system..

You can visit it my website at www.yieldsafe.com and e-mail me from there if you would like to communicate with me 1 to 1.

Thanks,
Maverick

Thanks for your great answer!
Well, I’m probably where you were a month or two ago..
I see the hi-value in using the BP% indexes & I want to expand.

To answer your questions:
1) Yes!…I would love to do what you’re doing.
2) Yes!…I’m new at trading…I like ETFs due to their low-volatility & consistent moves.
I haven’t strated trading them yet but I do want ot start.
I have an account at Interactive Brokers.
3) I see that XLE is Up today…good for you!…No, no trades yet & am still considering
going for the Extra service…I love Stockcharts!
4) It sounds like you’re doing very well with the Extra service.

Say, I would sure like to communicate more with you, but on a 1-to-1 basis.
I can’t pull up your email address or any other way to contact you.
I also have lots to share.
Do you ave any suggestions?

Thanks,
Stan

1. I think the charts with my custom BP# indices are outstanding. They are a great complement to the system I use in trading different sectors.

2. I mainly trade ETF’s. How about you?

3. I just commenced my first trade using my custom BP% indexes. I went long on XLE at the close of yesterday 3/24/08 based on my system and custom BP% index on the XOI index. Have you done any trades yet with your custom BP% indexes.

4. I think I will stay with the Extra service and will not go back to the Basic service.

Thanks,
Maverick

“I subscribed to the Stochcharts Extra and have created custom BP indexes for precious metals and airlines. Its a bit laborious getting the historical data since I had to change the number of look back days for each date and enter those numbers on an excel spreadsheet but its worth it.”

Using my Stockcharts “Basic” subscription, I have been following the BP% charts that
represent these 11 ETF’s:
XLY - XLP - XLE - XLF - XLV - XLI - XLB - XLK - IYZ - IYT - XLU

On these charts, I have set up overbot-oversold areas along with Keltner Channel lines to help me define up-trends & down-trends.

So far, it’s working pretty good for trading the ETF’s.
But, ultimately I’d like to trade like you do with my own custom BP% indexes.

1) How do you like using your new BP% charts from your own custom BP% indexes?
2) Are you trading stocks or ETF’s?
3) How’s your trading going using these custom BP% indexes?
4) Would you ever go back to the “Basic” subscription?

Thanks,
Stan

You said.
” Stan, you mean as in an RSS feed for me personally, as in my life? ”

Well, Babak, I read what you said to Maverick,
“I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to write it so subscribe to -my RSS feed- to not miss it ”

-And- you did say -my RSS feed- So, I thought, anything is possible, and that’s why I asked.

I’m just very interested in BP% charts…I see great value in them.
Most people don’t know what I’m talking about when I mention them.
It’s just nice to communicate with people who think like I do about them.

Thanks,
Stan
