    Bright Trading

    One thing you might want to consider is that Bright from what I understand doesn't allow most traders to access the internet over there computers at branch offices. They say it bogs down their network and makes redi+ even slower. Atleast that is what they used to say. Now I can understand...

    Great tool for swing traders: Point and Figure

    I think it's horrible for swing trading because point and figure doesn't incorporate volume which in the short run is critical to the price action. On a much longer time horizon I can see PoF charts being useful, but for swing trading.....naah I don't think I would like it. Volume is often...
