Re 008 site above: It looks like a narrow-range break out system. Check RCII on 3/3 and AVCT on 3/4. In and itself not bad, but I can do that myself with a little help from a decent scanner or trading software. Learn how to fish for yourself.

Commissions are all over the map. Most of the direct access brokers are in the same 1 cents per share range, with breaks as your size and/or volume goes up. Best thing to do is think about how much and how often you're trading. If you trade small and often then the low per share fee is...

Interactive Brokers, IB, is a direct access broker. www.interactivebrokers.com Direct access is just that - direct access for your orders to the trading floor or market. The orders are not taken, processed or compiled, and then entered to the market by your broker. e.g.,Tradestation...

He said he cancelled the order, never mentioning whether he got the confirm. I doubt he got the confirm and then they filled him. I traded listed for a year and you ALWAYS had this trouble in a fast market with market orders. Only use market orders to get out, and then you'll have to wait an...

One of the simplest ways is to sort your stock list by %change. With the appropriate indices or sectors in the list you can easily see who is doing better than whom. Most of the charting programs let you sort your watchlists by a certain column. Or to get some idea on the change in RS going...

For a market order on a listed, during the opening minutes, to fill 30 seconds after being cancelled is not really surprising. It could easily happen to TS or IB or Redi or fill-in-the-blank broker. It's the way the market order is handled on the floor. I would advise using limits (or stop...

The relative change in the angles, I believe, is what he's looking at, sort of the "bump and run" aspect.

http://www.passperfect.com Used their materials for the 7 and 63. I'd use them again, but just the self-study book (skip the databank).

I believe it's only available to prop traders at Echo.

Fibs get "dirtier" as your time frame shortens, anything below 15 minutes is too unreliable for me. I don't do much intraday trading anymore, but it helped me to use fibs in combination with natural S/R and trendlines. If you get 2 or 3 of these items coming together then maybe you've got a good...

Gaps are a fact of life in overnight holds. Anything you do along the lines of options, single-stock futures, pairs/spread may reduce your risk, but will decrease your profits (some gaps help) and increase your costs. To minimize the affect of gaps; 1) Keep position size small relative to...

Where was your initial stop on CAT? Reason I'm asking is our style sounds similar, but CAT looked like a falling knife (more so than a pullback candidate) to me. Good call so far, though.

It won't necessarily sync with TWS, but.. If you're running XP then double-click the time in your Taskbar, go to the Internet Time and set it to sync with one of the web's time servers automatically. For Windows 2000, etc., search for a little utility called Neutron. It runs on startup...

There's something I'm not following here on the strategy as posted by acary.. I'm using 34 and 144 day moving averages, then looking at what the price would have to be to make the MA's crossover. However, when you get in a long bull (or bear) run the price needed to make the MA's...

Not to push in one direction, but I've always liked Esignal. It's likely overkill for a beginner. Perhaps their MarketCenter (www.esignal.com/marketcenter/default.asp) product would be a good start. However, make sure you add on the charting feature, which brings the total up to $25 per month...

I've usually gotten a CD on "How to Select Winning Stocks" or some such with the program. It's a series of screen capture videos, mostly on how to use the software. It's a pretty easy program to learn. There are tons of "PCF's" (Personal Criteria Formula) which you can use in ( or customize...

You'll get a CD from Worden with the TC2000 program and EOD data to the point the CD was burned. That is free. It is the fully-functional program. You can check it out, run scans, etc. It gives you the opportunity to get a good feel for the program The EOD data update will run about $30 per...

Not with the current release. Don't know if there are any plans to include these.
