RE: Buying On Dips Sell On News2 Dec 2018 15:16
Good rule. I actually select shares on what I learn about them, use the 100 day rule if I do not have a theory about the price movement, and then try only to buy lower than my last trade and sell higher than my last trade. However what you are doing is, I think, similar to the relative strength index (RSI), which if I recall says 12 days in one direction is the almost always the max. The other nodal points I've heard are 2 days and 5 days. So if it rises after falling, stay in 1 day, if it rises on the thrid day - it may be ood for 2 more, and if it rises or falls for 12 consecutive days - its time to be contrarian. I did model all LSE shares for 9 months and test these rules. The only I ot a significnat correlation with was the next day rule (and the 100 day rule) but apply it to the historical prices for your shares and see if it would help.
