All my charts are showing very heavy volume around 12:30 Tuesday. What happened or is it a data problem from IB?

Razor, From my Dummy trades over the past 9 months I'd say expecting 30% of your trades to be 3:1 winners is overly optimistic. It looks like you're not taking into account the many cases where neither your stop or target is hit.

It would be nice to see a little bit more detailed summary of recent trading activity (day, week, etc) in the Account window. e.g. #trades, Gross P&L (in addition to present Net P&L), %winning trades, avg. winner, avg. loser, etc.

I hate weekends.

I hear all you guys talk about "blowing up", then trading the next day. I thought "blowing up" meant losing all your money. If I blow up, I'll be combing the classifieds the next day. Who bankrolls you guys?

I just looked at the charts of most of the stocks on the REG SHO list. After a quick glance, there doesn't seem to be an exceptional number of those making strong up moves - no more than any other list of stocks. I don't see how you can use this list to make money.

Dang, I didn't realize he gave those picks beforehand in his newsletter. The SEC doesn't have a problem with that?

I called SBC and was told the only service available to my apartment is 128/384 Kbps. Since Roadrunner is advertised at 6Mbps, the math tells me that SBC DSL will be 15 times slower downspeed than what I'm currently using. I track close to 100 stocks and view about 20 charts at a time with...

It's eery how often my looking at my account $P/L marks the daily top in my equity. Glad you're doing well Chewy.

I miss Chewy's journal.

What ever happened to Gapster? Did he just start this thread to advertise Alliance?

Is that the same management as the last failed ants.com?

Nice trade. What kind of exit signal did you use?

You got stopped out 1 penny from the low? That's a pretty tight stop.
