I need six of those on a page. Can Yahoo do that?

I need a robust platform not one off functionality. I look at 9-12 charts simultaneoulsy.

Highly touted TC2000 doesn't. Interactive Brokers doesn't and doesn't even understand the rationale. TradeStation would rather eat cow pats than put two stocks on the same chart. TradingView can do %change but the measure is irrelevant unless it can be linked with a log scale, which insures that...

"Im not sure what you are looking for (% chg chart) but MedvedTrader might be worth a look." If you have two stocks on a chart, the simplest way to compare them is using %change on the y-axis. Using price on the Y-axis doesn't capture the two stocks appreciation relative to one another and...

Can Lightspeed Trader do %change log charts? % Change appears to stump most of these platforms. Can it change the line weight and customize colors for six stocks on a chart? Can it script custom variables?

No single platform appears to have everything: ease of use, great charting, scripting, fundamentals, brokerage, futures, overnight. I currently use Thinkorswim (automates & propagates charts) , Fidelity's Active Trader Pro (great multistock charts, nothing else), TradeStation (futures) and...

I look for stocks with great tits and if it's starting to move but still under a 50 bps gain in the morning, I buy it. With crypto though that could be 400 bps. Exits: sucker starts to turn on me. I day trade so in quick and out quick. Spend a lot of time comparing stocks prior to the open. I...

Given the size of the community IBD serves, its investment "theorems" are dramatically under-researched. They make a big fuss over counting distribution days to anticipate selloffs while a quantitative research site I respect finds that distributions days signal exactly the opposite behavior...

As a subscriber to Marketsmith for two years, which incidentally I never made a nickel from following Mark Minervini's approach, I found it disconcerting that the cross-section of returns showed almost no predictability between 60+ Can-Slim factors and in-sample returns daily, weekly or monthly...

In today's wrestling match I tried all of those things, though I'm not sure which were invoked on which pass. I'm asking IB to send me documentation for each of the attempts I made.

How do you deal with a broker with overnight access that won't accept overnight trades? And then executes those trades at the market open when you've already assured yourself that the trades had been rejected. I was planning to move a chunk of my trading account there but their retail software...

I'm very familiar with all of the above. I'd still like to know what you mean by "Technology" in the passage I quoted. Are you saying that Can-Slim related software has subsequently de-emphasized financial metrics in favor of technicals?

Could you clarify what you mean by Technology in the above? Are you saying that the associated platforms (Marketsmith, others), or Mark's use of them, deemphasized financial analysis in Can-Slim? I've heard that from a long-term MPA participant - that Mark M. looks for 10% pops based on chart...

The two stocks, STRL and NVDA, currently show an IBD defined alpha of 32 bps /day. They're not stock picks; I chose them bcz their calculated alpha contradicts IBD's own definition of alpha as the average daily return of 1 yr price appreciation. That shop would have benefitted long-term from...

IBD50 doesn't work bcz they have a bunch of clowns making the stock picks. Essentially the front line staff selects their best picks in rotation. Pretty robotic crew.

What does IBD/O'Neil/Marketsmith mean by Alpha which they define as "how much a stock would have appreciated or depreciated on average on a daily basis over the last year, assuming the S&P 500 remained unchanged during the period"? I think they've bastardized the concept of alpha which I take...

Can you do 6 X 17? Trump and his kids weren't able to do it on the Howard Stern show.

Mark Minervini and presumably many others have six display screens going at all times. How are they likely to be set up?

It's not often one gets to say "nice rug".

I know this must seem like an asinine question but a desktop calculator is line of fire hardware. There are several features that are always at issue: ease of using the memory function, can you read the display with the calculator flat on the desk, and are the keys and power source what you...
