How to Avoid Another Losing Year
By Gary B. Smith
Special to TheStreet.com

If you haven't done so already, please see the poll that appeared in =
Wednesday's column. If you did read Wednesday's column, you no doubt =
took the survey, and I thank you.=20
Thoughts on it all? To be honest, I was surprised at the results: I =
thought the overall returns would be a bit higher. Clearly there's some =
pain out there, as two-thirds of the respondents haven't made a dime =
this year. And within that, 24% of you are down more than 25% this year. =
Tough stuff, I know.=20
But here's the good news. I'm convinced everyone out there has the =
ability to be not down, not flat, but up in a year like this. You see, I =
liken trading/investing (henceforth, just called trading) ability to =
golf. The average player these days can't break 90. And it's been that =
way for about the past 20 years or so. Probably longer.=20
That doesn't have to be the case because only three things can be =
stopping you.=20
1..=20
You're totally devoid of any ability. Yes, sadly some people have =
seemingly no motor skills whatsoever. I suppose when it comes to money, =
some folks pretty much "just don't get it." But I'd have to assume that =
applies to only the smallest percentage of RealMoney readers.=20
2..=20
You have the ability, but you don't practice. Oh, there's a lot of =
that in golf, and for some reason, these folks are always ahead of me =
when I'm trying to get around quickly!=20
In trading, though, what constitutes practice? I'd throw reading =
about different methods into that mix. I'd also include a daily =
examination of your trades and a write-up of where you went wrong and =
why. Finally, I also think you need to do a ton of paper trading and =
trading with small lot sizes to see if new methods can be effective.=20
As a simple test, ask yourself how many books you read about trading =
this year. If the answer is fewer than one, you have some work to do.=20
3..=20
You practice, but you practice the wrong things. For many of you, =
this is the nut of the problem. You keep swinging away, but you keep =
working on things that don't work. Or they work, but you're not flexible =
enough to include new or different concepts.=20
As an example, if you went short this year as easily as you went =
long, I think you could have fared pretty well. If you don't like =
shorting, then a variety of good market-timers (Jim Rohrbach, for =
example) could have told you when to stay in and when to stay out.=20
Options may have helped, and let's not forget about technical =
analysis, even if you're a die-hard fundy.=20
I guess my long-winded point is that I feel 99.9% of you have the =
ability to never have a losing year. Never. The tools are out there, but =
they require diligence to find and a dedication to implement. But if =
you're serious about "breaking 90," then you really have no choice. Time =
to get to work.=20

You might check chbs its forming a handle and has a good base. Bzh has a
good base and the cup is formed . No handle yet but it is at the pivot
point ready to start the handle.

eric, but how about the hugh returns that kacher, morales, ryan, kuhn have

I may be confused with all of our bold and blue and stuff, but I think =
what you're getting at is:
(1) Yes--on a cup w/o a handle the B/O is when the price moves up above =
the left lip of the cup.
(2) 5% failure rate does seem low, but, assuming his scans for the =
formations were robust, the 5% was derived from computerized scans of =
the database. One of the reasons may be that he found most rounding =
bottoms (cups w/o handles) tended to be a consolidation of the =
prevailing trend. So, if you're already heading up, then pause with a =
nice cup, the upside B/O should signal return to trend, in this case, =
up. Certainly, if the failure rate when the price does not B/O of the =
pattern is so high (38%), then it makes sense to wait for the B/O to =
take the trade. Downside? On average, the cup takes 11 months to form. =
Long time to wait for a trade. Another thing he mentions in the =
introduction is that his database is from 91-96. Given that this was a =
bull market, even he says that it could have influenced the statistics. =
As usual, all scientific studies have their bugaboos.
(3) There is no discussion of volume on B/O in this chapter, because he =
is not using WON guidelines to find the formation. (pp.466-476)
Hope I understood your questions this time!

Norm,
See my notes in bold.
In general, he is trying to match the formation to WON's criteria. =
When looking for the C&H pattern, cups had to have handles of at least =
one week to qualify. Handles had to be in upper half, but there were =
some in the study that were marginally in the upper half and included =
anyway. Cups had to be U shaped. No V shapes were included. (Guess he =
doesn't like drinking his coffee from a funnel.) Price has to have risen =
30% before the cup was formed. Cup has to take 7 to 65 weeks to form.=20
Thanks for relaying the interesting Bulkowski info. Mr. B =
definitely is on my coffee table list. I have a 'couple' of questions.
1) "Cups with higher right lips tend to outperform those with a =
higher left lip." Why would this be? Who knows? It's a mystery. But the =
differences were statistically significant.
2) "Failure rate if waited for upside B/O 5%." Is 'upside B/O' =
when it goes above the left side? B/O occurs when it breaks above the =
high of the handle. Actually the 5% failure was in reference to the C =
w/o H breakouts. Does vol play a roll here? I was interested if hi vol =
was studied for a BO above the LS of a cup. He did not include volume =
as criteria for B/O because removing the criteria hurt performance, but =
only slightly. He does give statistics on volume at breakout and after, =
and the volume tends to be very high. Only 5% failure with these C w/o H =
is surprising. And failure is when the price falls back to the pivot? =
No, failure is when the price falls below the pivot and heads down. A =
pullback to the pivot that subsequently moves on is considered a =
"throwback" or pullback, and is not considered a failure.
This chapter alone is worth the price of the book. The ROI makes =
this investment a big winner.
