What in your opinion is the most profitable type of daytrading (scalping, playing relative strength, pair trading, etc.)? Thanks.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is DOM? Thanks.

Don, Thanks very much for the explanation. One last question - does .4 envelope mean .4% of a stock's anticipated opening price?

Same here.

Hey Don, I plan to start trading opening orders next week, but would just want to make sure I am doing the calculations right. If futures indicate that they are going to open -.6% from yesterday's close and I am trading a stock which closed the previous day at $50, do I enter an opening...

Steve, May I ask what chart time frame you look at to enter your trades? (1 min., 5 min., etc.). Thanks.

Thanks. Yahoo (free version) is delayed while the realtime version does not allow me to filter for volume and price. Trade Ideas might be an option but my problem with it is that it oftentimes spits out alerts which do not meet the filtering criteria at all. Any other suggestions?

I am looking for a simple scanner which would show the day's biggest gainers/losers but which would also allow me to filter for my desired volume and price parameters. I currently use Esignal's scanner but it has been unreliable lately. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Any specific reason why you want to get out of Vegas?

Can anyone show me how to bring up the NYSE advance/decline chart on esignal? Thanks in advance.

I plan to start trading Nasdaq stocks and my broker's software (REDI) has the SIGMA routing for Nasdaq stocks. Question is: does Sigma work like a smart swipe, wherein it sweeps all orders up to my limit price? Does it work better than Arca? Thanks in advance.

When you say "smaller positions", can you give us an idea about how small their average positions are? Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a real time stock screener which lists the most active stocks for the day and where one can also filter for price and volume? Something similar to the Yahoo real time screener but has the added feature for adjusting min./max. price and volume. Thanks in advance to anyone...

With all the changes taking place in the NYSE (SHO, Hybrid, etc.), is tapereading the specialist and scalping still a profitable strategy? I have added tapereading/scalping as one of my strategies for about 8 months now and currently feel that the introduction of hybrid has made this strategy a...

In trading pairs, what is your average hold time? Also, do you trade 1 stock of the pair solo and lean on the other stock to be used as a hedge? Thanks in advance.
