In response to the other thread posted, it is apparent that there are numerous daily trading systems using TA that are profitable. However, intraday is a different story and I didn't see anyone mentioning successful intraday systems they've developed (I'm talking equities only, no overnight...

What is the standard smoothing period for the 14 period RSI... 13? Also, what is the standard smoothing type... simple, exponential etc... If I want to use a 9 period RSI what would be a standard smoothing period used in that case...

Just wondering if any of you guys do pairs trading (equities) intraday? What timeframes do you trade and do you find that sometimes you have to hold overnight?

Where can I find online charts for commodities? I generally use stockcharts.com and can pull up charts for $WTIC and $GOLD, but for things pork bellies, wheat, coffee etc. where can I get a chart? What are the symbols?

So if I have a cash account I can't short but I don't have to worry about PDT? If I have a margin account less than 25k I'll get flagged for PDT on multiple trades? Sounds like I need to have a $25 k margin account...

Okay, good info. Just to clarify, if I open a cash account with a CDN broker (under $25k), I can only trade CDN stocks, is this correct? Or can I trade both CDN and US without PDT problems so long as my broker is in Canada?

Daytrading, probably 50 trades a day, starting small but then moving 1000 share lots... Offhand do you know who has the cheapest per share price for the style described above?
