 Hi everyone,
 I'm using TROs  filter "got milk" which I combined with some of TROs other filters to get what i think i need.  see filter below.
 
 My question is would someone indicate which columns are the most important for picking the right stock.  I only need one or two stocks to trade over and over like everyone suggests.
 
 Would someone point me in the right direction?  What do I really need to know?
 
 Here are the columns i think are important, but i could be wrong."
 
 1) I want up trend = 111,
 2) I want dlxdl (had to chg letter from clxcl) to = -3 (to determine pullback),
 3) I want rsi(2) =  between 30-70
 4)  I want trading range = +$1
 5)  vol +$1 million
 6) open,high,low, 1dayago close  -- use the hi-open for horizontal lines and trapline (hi+open/2)
 7) Select stats which show profit of .10, .20 to be abve 80%
 
 also these items are part of my checklist
 7) check earnings
 8) close between 5 and 50
 9) check aftermarket and  premarket for gaps up/down
 10) beta above 1
 11)  check industry/sector for hottest for month)
 12)  check news
 
 Also since i'm trading an IRA account, I can't use margin to short. (bummer). have to trade long.
 however I've heard about the inverse EFTs for a bear markets.
 What's your thinking on inverse ETFs?
 
 Thanks for your help
