I will have to reserve judgement as to whether abolishing best ecn is an improvement or not... it may well be.. I switched to using best ecn after a good few bad delays on best ex which cost me a bit.. found best ecn to be faster.. faster than a speeding bullet sometimes! So will have to see...

Well spoken tntneo... that was well put I thought and definitely struck a chord with me anyway. 'that's the idea about doing the opposite of what you are doing, then you will make money.' Over a period of time.. almost with no conscious effort.. I seem to have done precisely that myself...

Bo and brandon... you both make good points.. I agree really.. so far have just used scans to group stocks into similar patterns to save time depending upon what I am looking for at the time.. but then I spend ages and ages just flipping through the charts.. until my eyes go blurred usually...

I am trialing vectorvest at the moment... just started.. seems pretty good so far. You can do end of day scans for almost anything as far as I can tell.. costs about $40 per mth if you subscribe. Any one else tried it? There is an active message board on yahoo clubs which seem full of...

Anyone tried the vectorvest system? Just having a look at it on trial now.. seems quite interesting..

Those interested in pivot points may like to know that in the new release of NT due march, they are adding previous high and previous low to the market scan at least.. have yet to ask if these will also be available as parameters in the advanced charts and formulas as well.. but hopefully they...

Mike- well you are becoming an elitetrader regular it seems.. :) Thanks for your posts. is nice to know someone cares.. lol To our regular readers may I suggest a visit from time to time to Mike's thread on siliconeinvestor...

Mike - thanks for posting your screenshot.. its really interesting to see others workspaces... so many ways to display so much info.. I keep on tinkering with my pages.. spreading out across my three monitors now and inserting IB TWS or my other broker in an explorer window within nextrend...

Hey great Baron.. did that and it works smashing now! Thanks again.. explorer is a pain sometimes but always glad to know something new about its inner workings.. Neil

Mike - I sort of like level II... I used to think it meant more but had that knocked out of me a good while ago! I know it is full of all sorts of nonsense... but I like to watch it all the same when in a trade.. I still like to see the visual effect as it moves my way.. if it does.. daft I...

hmm.. not quite right on the page when clicking link.. maybe just can't fit.. seems to work ok if you right click and copy and then paste into photo editor.. all legible then.. will post right monitor anyway.. see what anyone reckons.. might be able to get it better yet I guess..

Thanks to Baron.. have sorted out my screenshot problem I think.. needed to alter properties of screenshot to 256 colours before saving file.. reduces the image size by a huge amount with no loss of resolution.. great Will try uploading my Active page now.. the one I use when in a trade...

Mike - no multiple positions for me young man! lol The thought gives me the heebie jeebies... one stock at a time has been quite enough so far.. as far as daytrading is concerned anyway.. altho have been thinking lately of starting the odd swing trade as well.. if I find the nerve to do it...

Hypo - 69ma.. its not a celtic thing.. its an allen zuckerman thing! lol A while back I spent some time in his room at mtrader (he is at reality now), not really following him as much as learning some of the TA and his restraint and patience in trading.. he often used the 69ma. I still find...

Funster.. that was a giggle.. panama here I come.. totally convinced.. lol I think graeco is on the right track tho.. we have our dream too of eventually taming the wild beast of trading and making a decent living from it and then moving somewhere warm cheap and zero tax.. the exact opposite...

Tom - thanks for the advice.. I think I will pay a bit more attention to the futures again.. you made some good points. I also use level II and T&S once I am in a trade.. plus copious quantities of good strong coffee and (since I am trading from a civilized time zone) a few glasses of fine red...

Thanks Tom.. good bang for my euro these days of the bold new future in europe... kinda miss the old punt as the quid was called here.. mostly by tourists.. I do have the nas futures via nextrend, just not yet added them to my new layouts.. I dunno, atho I know they are supposed to be useful...

Pageright-bottom Phew that was exhausting! Okay Johnny... now show me yours! lol Would be interested to see others arrangements.. trading is a solitary... was going to say profession.. but not sure if can be given such a noble title.. but then again.. accountants call themselves...
