Why doesn’t Positive Territory tell me when to sell?

Positive Territory was designed to provide the first two parts of the Successful Trade, WHAT to buy and WHEN to buy. More than the other two, the third element of WHEN to sell reflects an individual’s risk tolerance.

We do provide educational information on exits so you can determine your own risk tolerance by using paper trading and not risk real money. Set your own exits and paper trade them. Rather than wait for each day to pass, download one of the track record support files or an old DAR, decide your exits, then look up the historical prices to see how you would have done. Adjust your exits to get closer to the gains you want to achieve. If you are buying antacid by the case then you are probably taking too much risk and want to set tighter exits. Too tight and you can get taken out on a dip and miss the following recovery. Too loose and you may expose yourself to greater losses than you want. The balancing act reflects your individual risk tolerance where one-size-fits-all fits not at all.

Why didn’t all stocks from the 2W43-NRT report go up?

The near-real-time (NRT) report shows all issues from yesterday’s 2w43 report that have achieved 95% or higher of their target price.

Only issues that reach and HOLD 100% (or more) of their target price will appear on that night’s Daily Abbreviated Report (DAR). If an issue is less than 100% of its target price then it won’t meet our selection criteria. Some issues that meet our criteria don’t go up in the short term. Our Track Record indicates that most do.

Other FAQs

Why am I not making what the Track Record says?

The Track Record is designed to gauge how well we achieve the goal of finding stocks that are going up in the short term. Because you need the exit (the third part of the Successful Trade to determine profit, and since the exit is something you determine we can’t report the profit or loss you will achieve.

Other FAQs

Can I make more than what the Track Record says?

Yes, but it is a pretty rare event. The Track Record has a 50-trading day range limit. If the issue is still climbing (and hopefully you are adjusting your exits along the way) you don’t have to sell.

Other FAQs

Where are my 600% gains? Snake Oil!

The only place you’ll see percentages that large are in a Track Record column titled Ext . “Ext” is a construction used to provide a single point of comparison between two sets of gain% and eDay pairs. This is discussed in How To Read the Track Record. Or, just read the ext explanation. Look for where it says “not NOT NOT”.

Other FAQs

Why are archived TXT files not formatted?

Well, they were formatted when we created them. Here is what happened. When computers write "text" files, they put something at the end of each line to mean "this is the end of a line".

   DOS/Windows systems puts the two characters CarriageReturn (CR) and LineFeed (LF)
   Unix/Linux systems put only the LF
   Macs put only a CR.

Our computers run Unix and the text files use LF only. The original file creation programs were programmed to convert this to “CR and LF” so those non-archived versions properly.

Most unzip and editing applications are aware of the situation and can manage the end of lines properly. For example, with winzip using their internal text viewer or using Windows WordPad as the viewer/editor works fine. Windows NotePad is broken in this respect, and the data will look unordered, spread on very long lines.

What you can do - Associate WordPad (not NotePad) with txt files to make WordPad the default text editor on your Windows system. This will help if any other txt files have the same construction.

What we can do (and did) - We are zipping the monthly archives with the special switch that says "while you're adding text files, convert their line endings to use CR and LF instead of just LF”. We also went back and re-zipped all the archives. If you find one we missed please tell us about it!

What are POGs?

A single Price-Only-Graph is called a POG. Many of them are plural, POGs.

See How To Read 2W43-NRT-Price Only Graphs (POGs) and How To Read DAR-Price Only Graphs DAR-POGs. To have POGs emailed to you each trading day, log in, select MyProfile, then edit Report Selections.

Other FAQs

What are the 2W43, 2W43-NRT and 2W43-NRT-POGs?

We abbreviated “Two Waiting For Three” as 2W43. It is a report issued each evening that lists issues that came close to, but did not meet, our selection criteria. If the issue reaches and maintains a target price (shown on the 2W43 report) during the following day it will meet our selection criteria and be reported that following evening.

At about 2pm each trading day another report called 2W43-NRT (near-real-time) is issued showing how close those issues are to the target price. A companion to the 2W43-NRT report are POGs, a series of price graphs for issues listed in the 2W43-NRT report. To have 2W43, 2W43-NRT, and/or 2W43-NRT-POGs emailed to you each trading day, log in, select MyProfile, then edit Report Selections.

Other FAQs

What is Track Record?

The goal of Positive Territory is to answer the first two parts of The Successful Trade. WHAT to buy and WHEN to buy. To evaluate the effectiveness we apply our selection criteria and gauge our success by how high and how fast our selections rise in the short term. The evaluation is reflected in our Track Record.

The Track Record contains a number of new terms and formulas. For guidance see How To Read Track Record Reports.

Other FAQs

Where is my email?

If you don't receive email you are expecting from Positive Territory, there are a few things we'd ask you to check before contacting support.

1) Check your profile for the report
Log in, go to MyProfile, then Change Report Selection. Make sure that the report you are expecting is checked. Changes to report selection generally take one daily cycle to take affect.

2) Check that your email address is correct
Log in, go to MyProfile, then Subscriber Profile. Make sure that the email address is what it should be. Email changes take effect almost immediately, but if the report has already been issued then the address won't be checked until the next daily cycle.

3) Check that you are not blocking email from PositiveTerritory.com
It might be a block at your computer or it may be something through your service provider. Even if you don't see PositiveTerritory.com being blocked, whitelist PositiveTerritory.com if you can.

Lastly, remember that email can go through many hands between us and you. It may take a while. All reports (DARs, 2W43, POGs, TAGs) are available from the Positive Territory web site. Also, any TAGs you request are also placed on the web site so you can get them via the web site. Just log in and click the DOWNLOAD link.
