I'm no computer wiz and it took me about a week to understand the Quotetracker software.
The support Quotetracker gave me was excellent.
I e-mailed them many questions and received replies back within a few minutes.
It has many features that much higher priced software does not.
ES has changed last few days vs, last 6 months.
Need real wide stops for my style in this environment .
Stops need to be too wide for me.
Gave back 10 % of 2006 gains in last 2 sessions.
Going to chill for awhile.
Haven't seen 1 of those spikes like@ 11:10 in a while.
Not to...
I just mean to have 5 or 6 charts up and a list of sectors.
Would like to have this be there automatically when I log in.
I do not need more than 1 layout.
Anyone know of a cheaper alternative to Real Tick ?
I like Real Tick but would like to find a cheaper alternative.
Don't need Order Entry, Nasdaq Level 2 , ES depth of mkt or T&S .
What I like about Real Tick is if you put up a 2 day 10 min ES or SPX chart it will clearly show you the...
Another point I found on Swing trading verses intraday trading is
it is much easier to have lapses in discipline when intraday trading.
Swing trading after I enter I place a stop and usually leave.
countertrends are harder to profit than trends/main & medium trend .:cool: [/B]
Great quote Murray t turtle
Keeps the risk to reward way in your favor instead of risking pennies and nickels to pick up pennies and nickels.
Risk the nickels to pick up dollars.

If you are not a homeowner and have to rent a home on the East coast it could easily cost $2000 a month.
Unless someone has health benefits from a previous job paying for them could easily top 1000 a month.
You still haven't paid for heat...
$9.50?
I show $8.26
$7.57 52 week low and
$6.58 2002 low
What the heck ..your stop doesn't have to be that far away to be below the lows .
On a fundamental basis I think it is in better shape than GM.
Just my opinion, thats what stops are for.
Any swing traders long 1 hour from the close last nite and still long in ES/ER or YM ?
I chickened out and couldn't hold thru the dip the eventually ended at 10:30.
It sure seems like to get the big gains you have to be confident in your entry , willing to hold till a target and not mind...
Not using stops may make you money on many trades but eventually will be a disaster.
Stop loss I use is based on the charts.
I know that 1.5% is the max % of my account I am willing to risk on a trade.
If I can get outside the noise with that stop I take the trade.
If I can't I'll...
Shutting down trading and charts computer and leaving for lunch.
Damned if I will give back the days money.
Been there before.
Mkt does look strong but after Friday I'm doubtful of a pm rally.
Sure looks like there might be a lot of bears hiding in the woods after Friday.
