Ditto, mccullek - I'm just a price action, technical trader by heart. There's nothing as solid as the price. I know a fundamentals trader that's always impressed by my returns as a technical trader (of course that's just one person). To each his own, though!

I couldn't agree more! Nearly every morning I listen to NPR and a marketplace blip comes on to say the market is going up/down and I still get that twinge of "Oh no, I was going to opposite direction yesterday" and as soon as I open my platform the trades that I held overnight are doing just...

WooHoo! That has to feel good! Keep it up and ignore the poo-flingers! That's too, too awesome!

Certainly! I'm a disciplined trader - but not all are. Admittedly, advice and strategy are rarely one-size-fits-all. Good luck!

I love the idea of a pre-set goal! I've been advocating the same thing on my trading blog - You only need your pre-determined goal - right? If you'd be satisfied with your goal in theory, so why are you trying to blow it out of the water while potentially signing yourself for some loser trades...

Mecro - I couldn't agree more! Also - I'm certainly going to look into Lightspeed, I've not even heard of them until just now! Miamicanes - unfortunately I don't set limit orders or trade after hours but I do know you can trade trade during extended hours through your platform with no...

I know this is all a little late, but I've had the SogoElite platform for about a year now and I've been having great success with it. I like having my watchlist, buy & sell buttons, real-time monthly charts, real-time daily charts, and my list of purchased stocks all in one window. It makes...
