The erratic behavior of the US and World Stock Markets required a change in trading strategy to avoid a loss of trading capital caused by enormous increases and decreases in the OEX and SPX during a trading day. My software program, SelfAdapDTN4, evolved during the last 10 years of tracking a great number of indices and many stocks. It became very complex to use for trading. In July 2010 I decided the complexity needed to be reduced for efficiency for the options trader. I renovated my software to focus on the best weekly options to consider for trading. By sorting thru the indices and stocks tracked by my old software I found there were several weekly options that were worth tracking in today's market. The new software program is SelfAdapJonWeeklyCndrs which emphasizes a simpler user interface. The size of the software was halved. Appendix B is an abbreviated version of the manual for the software .
