    Justin, it is comments like that which make me love what I do even more. The good stuff is bound to keep coming man, thanks for the props!

    Matt, I love trying out new stuff like this. If I see the post does well overall (bringing in new RSS subscribers, viewers, etc.) then I will do it again. So, as of now it seems this may be become a trend!

    Investing, you are at the right place, just wait till we get into MACD trends and Stochastics! :twisted:

    Good stuff. I’m pretty sure I got the last one, but it leaves me wondering. How much does volume have to beat the average to be considered “heavy?”

    Check out that post for clarification, but it simply needs to just beat the average daily volume to be considered “heavy”. :cool:
