I use a charting software called IQChart. It provides end of day screening and real-time charting. It costs like $39 per month, but there is a one month free trial. www.iqchart.com

Bitstream, watson1 : thanks for your take on the stop debate. I am thinking along those lines as well. thenewguy: I appreciate your comments. I am listing stocks to sell short too. It was just the first day that I did not have any. I have actually been at this more than 3 weeks. Mostly...

That sounds interesting. Do you mean hedging? Perhaps when you have time, maybe you could explain what you mean by a shorting "system".

Thanks for the compliment and good suggestions. I think you are right about the 4%. But, right now, the 4% is really my minimum expected gain. I'm not saying some of the trades can't go higher. If I were actually trading them, I would factor in volatility and trading behavior and access...

Of the 10 stocks, 3 met, or exceeded the 4% goal. None were stopped out. I list them below. The format will be: (max gain, days held) CERS (8.3%, 1) NMTI (5.4%, 1) BRY (4.6%, 1) *CERS gapped up 1.7%, so the effective yield would be reduced by that much. *NMTI gapped up 5.4%, and...

You're too funny. You need to turn this into a book.

Thanks for commenting - that was quick. I think I'll see how it goes. I definitely will change my expectations, if I need to. I try to restrict my list to stocks that are above average volatility. By 1-5 days, I mean, on average. (I did say five, not four). Okay, "one" day will be...

Hello. My name is Jack. I don't know how I will do at this, since I just began actively trading about 3 weeks ago. But time will tell. I am starting this journal here in hope I will get some feedback from anyone with suggestions or ideas to improve my trading. So, here is how I will...

With about $15,000 in my account, I lost a whopping (for me) $3,700 shorting Copper Mountain about 3-4 years ago. I can't remember any gainers that stuck out as being exceptional.

The NASDAQ may likely find support at the 2161 level first. It would be nice if that holds. But if it does not, then the next level of support is 2152-2153. This would just be a consolidation phase before more gains next week. I don't think higher crude prices will necessarily mean the...

It could be the reason to have heavy buying is that their is no reason. The reason can always be made up after it happens.

Ovation, I wish I understand your motivation. You sound unsure of yourself, unsure of your methods, unsure of your results and everything that is incompatible with someone who is successfully trading. Normally successful traders don't go asking for verification of their methods. You eagerly...

Hold On! Not everybody is this one-dimensional. There are plenty of successful traders whose primary focus is not the money. And come to think about it, I couldn't disagree more with your entire premise. Just look around, the act of "wanting" is such a pathetic emotion. Wanting is what...

My guess: 1st, we will see a short-lived run to around 2170, followed by 2) a return to the trading range of last week, followed by 3) a drop below 2112, all, amid growing concerns about Greenspan's replacement, and increasingly worse than expected economic numbers.

Bush is such a myopic thinker. Its always the short term for him. Whats going to make him look good in the short term. What do you think Bush and Greenspan talked about during their meeting Friday? I'm sure Bush was pushing Greenspan to NOT raise rates. And Greenspan said, Okay Mr...

If the NASDAQ can convincingly close above 2152 (and I think it will), then we should eventually see 2169-2172. I plan to look for shorting opportunities at that level. At least, thats the plan.
