Ok, I give up. I am obviously Yahoo challenged. Please give step-by-step instructions on how to get there starting at the Yahoo home page. I have looked under Yahoo Chat - Business and Finance and it isn't there.

I like TC2000 because I can do intraday updates and scans on 20-min delayed data. This can sometimes highlight stocks to watch for the remainder of the day. As I am a swingtrader the 20-minute delay does not bother me. Anyone interested in rock-bottom priced EOD data only might like to check...

Praetorian: You entered on the 23rd and told us you would have a stop at about 12.8 in place for the 24th. It actually got down to 12.24 on the 24th, but instead of being stopped out you tell us you bought some more and later exited with a profit. There is something missing from this...

ddefina said: "Who wants to go to the IB chat board (if it existed) " Actually IB does have an on-line chat function staffed by help desk personnel. The respond quite promptly in my experience. It is accessed through their website. Click "Contact IB" then on the next page click "General...

Come on guys, quit with the suggestions of alternative sites. Let's make what we have here work in some sensible way. I don't want to have to be hopping from site to site to follow the discussions that interest me.

"Actually I posted that thread as I am a newcomer to this game and have learned a lot (A LOT) from this thread from real experiences, real people- I got scared that day. Sure, IB has tech support but it also has like zillion of customers! It takes at least day or two for them to respond which is...

That is fantastic news Def. The sooner the better

I agree with Traderkay the default settings just plain suck, but I would add the qualifier, for swing trading on a few days basis. They may well be appropriate for large, stodgy, slowly-moving blue chips. My preferred setting on a daily chart is 5,13,6. However, it really does depend on the...

There is an interesting phenomenon developing amongst the on-line trading advisory community. You would think that they would be serious competitors, but instead principals or prominent contributors at one site are increasingly popping up as contributors at the sites of their apparent...

Def I sincerely hope IB is just going to comply with minimum Canadian registration requirements, rather than setting up a Canadain subsidiary. I still want those 1 cent per share commissions, not special prices tailored to the anti-competitive fee structure of Canadian on-line brokers, as...

Better yet would be to have some type of flag on TWS to show if the stock is shortable or not.

I match them by cutting and pasting. When I started the thread I hoped that someone may have written a visual basic routine to do the matching and be willing to share it. So far no takers. I am pretty sure it could be done using Microsoft Access, or another good database program, but...

Thanks from me too. Could you please clarify what you mean by "high EPS strength". I assume you mean earnings growth rate. Do you factor in P/E in any way?

Maybe he already is and just wants to know if he set a record:)

referring to ESRX

Great of you to take the time to help us. This one only gapped up slightly at the open. How big a gap will you tolerate at the open to enter immediately? How do you handle those that show bigger gaps. Thanks

I swingtrade and I try to avoid the stocks that are the daytrading favorites, i.e. the high volatility, large volume stocks. I don't daytrade (except when a swingtrade doesn't work, which is often these days) and I do not understand how the daytrader's activities affect these stocks. Also I am a...

Tony, I will not know the full capability of your calculator until I download it. However, in the example of its output shown on this link http://www.tonyoz.com/bottom.htm the profit and loss are shown in dollars. The alternative of showing percentages would be nice.

I have often experienced the problem of my limit bid or ask not being displayed when it is the better than those shown. I have not tracked it systematically, but it is my impression that I usually get filled at my price or better when this happens. If I don't get filled it seems to be because...

SHORTY I was very interested by your remarks on shorting. I am still trying to get comfortable with swing trading the short side. I run a bulletin board discussing swing trading, where my long trading approach is presented in some detail together with other discussion. There are also a few...
