Yes, I just close and re-open the page. I have no idea why the new pivots can't be seen until the next day's open, since they use the 3-number pivot, and don't include the next day's opening prices. Regards, Chris

The pivots for the current day will only show up after the market opens. I just refresh my page right at the open. I have the pivot formulas plugged into Excel and just cut and paste closing prices into the spreadsheet the night before to have for the next day.

Funster, Do you mean audited like in "Arthur Andersen audited"? Sorry, I couldn't resist :D

I had a Matrox G450 in a box with Win 2k, and it worked great. I just got another box with Win XP Pro, and switched the Matrox card over to the new one. After getting the updated drivers from the Matrox site, I was good to go. Hope this helps!

Am I reading correctly that the mini-Dow only traded 56 contracts on its first day?

Pivot Points work best on stocks/futures with wider daily trading ranges. The previous day high, low, and close are used to generate a pivot, 3 support levels, and 3 resistance levels. Price crossing the pivot on an up move is bullish, and a cross below the pivot on a down move is bearish...

vinigar, You're exactly correct. By price history, I'm looking roughly at the last 2 hours or so from the previous trading day

A cash account can be used to day trade, however it's subject to T+3 settlement.

Some basic things I watch for on the 2 most typical gaps, a common gap and a breakaway gap. Common gap - Normally forms from some general market news, like an economic report, etc., that creates short-term hype around the open. If you look to the left of the gap on a 3-min or 5-min chart...
