In the Matrix when a stock qualifies, phase and front room in phase as well, that symbol could be highlighted in bold or with a color or anything that would distinguish it on the list. J. B.

I have a suggestion regarding the DT Matrix screen. It would be beneficial to include an additional search criteria that would limit the sometimes too numerous items on the screen during an active day. There is a "MaxRisk" but there should also be a MinRisk. Stocks with a stop of 8 cents are useless and inflate the RR, drawing my attention needlessly. Also, there should be a column for (RRR times Risk), which is the same thing as the difference between the trigger and the target, which shows how many dollars of profit are possible in the trade. Alesser important addition would be an extra column that would divide this dollar profit potential by the price of the stock to show the percentage to value profit potential, helping to allocate funds to a particular stock. It is amazing how quickly you can reach the point of not having any more money to chase too many good opportunities. Besides the suggested columns, the foregoing could also be screening criteria to further isolate interesting opportunities. P.L.

...The problem is the Matrix shows $Risk per share. I don't buy(or sell) a given number of shares, rather I buy enough shares to make all my positions approximate the same total investment $. Further, I will only take trades where the risk is less than 5% per position. So it would be very helpful if the Matrix indicated Risk as a percent of Trigger Price. That way I would not have to calculate it for every possible position. Perhaps that "Risk % of Trigger" could be added as a filter to the Matrix as well. I hope you will pass these suggestions along for a future version. Thanks, E.P.

Some suggestions to consider:
* For Matrix, add filter for min $ gain, e.g. $2 or $3, would save some time. I trade equity options, with bid/ask slippage and market volatility I can not justify a trade with just projected price move on stock of less than $2 or $3.
* For Matrix, add some facility to screen across all Rooms at once, but with above filter. Again would save time.
* Update historic performance data to reflect impact of RF vs. just Stars, both for success rate and $ gain. Regards, J.H.

I want to submit a suggestion for some additional features that may help to make the Dynamic Trends software more useful and also assist investors in their trade management.
1.) Add a feature to rank sector groups according to those with the most bullish or most bearish stocks in their list. This would facilitate finding the current "hottest" stock groups.
2.) Add a feature to alert users whenever a stock in which they have invested has lost its momentum and is about to make a change in trend direction (a reversal). I thought you might be able to either:
(a) look for a % change in its room's RF value or, perhaps
(b) add the RFs from the active room plus the two rooms on each side of the active room to monitor this total RF number for % change toward the opposite direction (color) of the current move.
Perhaps you can use these ideas as a basis for monitoring reversals for use in determining the timing of exits from trades placed on that stock's room. Feel free to incorporate this idea into your Dynamic Trends software if it proves useful. Please pass this on to the management team for their consideration.
Best regards, J.G.

Could your company think about allowing the user to label custom matrix's.
Also since many of us work at another job could a webinar be arranged for night or weekends. D.G.

For those customers who have moved to better applying your system to reflect changing market conditions, a bulletin board would provide a good mechanism for exchanging ideas. What I have in mind is a structure that existed with Advanced Get. Your current documentation is currently not able to provide some market perspective as it applies to utilizing indicators to, for example, stand aside or liquidate positions when market is oscillating vs. trending. I am sure that other topics would also be discussed. For your perspective, a better educated customer would more likely value you service. Monitoring could be provided by market experienced traders vs. tech support. (Nothing against the latter group.) Regards, J.H.
