Portfolio Approach : You could buy the first ten stocks with the strongest Chartmill fundamental ratings i.e. Use position sizing based on volatility ( ATR ;10) to determine how much to invest. Finally, use trailing stops to secure any profits and avoid too much losses. Exit : You can sell the 1. 1/3 of a position once it is well in the plus zone, thereby enjoying a free ride for the rest of the position and generating liquidity for the next stock. Check daily or weekly , but let your profits run and tighten your stops once you're in trade. You might get stopped out early sometimes though. Some traders use mental stops, but with 10 positions this might be difficult to to manage
