Thanks for the quick reply. I have been following your trades since last year, I have few more questions and hope you will answer them: 1) For swing trades, do you monitor them throughout the market hours, or set a sell/stop order using certain rules and turn your back to them? 2) Do you...

Congratulations to a good start! Last year, most of your trades are swing trades. What time frame do you focus on this year (or this month)? Do you trade mostly ETFs? Also, why do you trade both SKF and FAZ. Aren't they highly correlated? Thanks and happy 2009!

Hi, OldTrader: You are correct! Thanks for pointing it out. Somehow I missed that info...

Hi, stevegee58: Thank you for the very quick and helpful reply! I read the links you provided. The tool is for EOD data and seems to cover most of the criteria needed for my swing trading. Since IB is used widely by active traders, what screening tool does it provide for intra-day...

I am thinking of adding a new brokerage account for my active stock trading. I am interested in IB due to various good comments I read in ET. I would like to know if IB offers any screening tool that can filter out stocks based on user specified criteria? If yes, is it for real time data...

Your solution of cutting back on trading and reduce the exposure is a good one. I read a lot of trading books and that's usually what's recommended during a string of drawdowns. You will be able to re-sync with the market and do well again!

Nice return for the year! Keep up the good gain and posts!

Very interesting and different trading system! Thanks for the thread! May I ask what is your total % return this year? I am new to this thread and may have missed some info you mentioned earlier. Thanks and good luck!

Hi, retire45: Thank you for your reply! Since you have been in the market for a couple decades, do you find the current market more challenging than what you have experienced in the past? Also, do you trade options, currency or futures as well? If yes, how would you compare them to stock...

Thanks for the reply! I wonder how much time do you spend to prepare for the market after market hours. Do you read much financial news? If yes, does it affect your decisions? I found too much information can do more harm than good. Also, may I ask how many years (or months) did it take...

Hi, retire45: Your return is very good for a week like the past one! It's even more impressive considering you just suffered loss last week. I noticed that your profit% varies from one position to another. So I assume that you are not using any predefined % gain as a target price. Do you...

Hi, retire45: Thanks for the quick reply! I am new to Covestor, so I can't see your trading log prior to 6/16 to figure out a couple more questions I have. Again, if you have time to answer, it will be appreciated! 1) Do you know roughly what's your W/L ratio? 2) If not, do you win...

Hi, Retire45: Your return this year is very impressive! Thank you for sharing your journals... I have a few questions if you have time to reply: 1) Do you also day trade? I thought you are a swing trader, but your trading log in covestor seems to suggest that you also day trade? 2)...
