Jay: Yes, I did post here first and in all fairness you gave me a good answer on your forum last night. The "shrug" I was referring to was when I first noticed this (1 or 2 months ago) I contacted customer support and they basically said we don't know anything about it and didn't really...

I actually have both Esignal and IQFeed and am trying to figure out how to get rid of Esignal but I have one major problem w/ IQFeed which I brought up to them and basically got a "shrug". I basically run scans at night looking for stuff to trade the next day based on setups and then put them...

to the best of my knowledge 30 right now

if you are looking for voice only I've use freeconference.com for years and it's great.

you can download amibroker for free (end of day version) and use their Amiquote download program to download as much free data as you want. you can then build scans but you need to be able to do very basic programming to build the scans. I download updated data every night for 8000+...

Unfortunately, unless they changed things you can't do that (maybe they've changed). In the past you could not turn a regular account into a child account. You needed to open an advisor (master) then open child accounts for each one you want. You can then transfer $$$ from your...

While we are on the friends and family account - does the API work with this just as with regular accounts? I'm automating a strategy w/ AmiBroker and their use of your API and havn't yet tried applying to a friends and family account.

I don't use Wealth-Lab but my understanding is that you can now test strategies against back technical and fundemental data for at least the last 6 years. I'm going to look into it at some point.

For what it's worth I've been experimenting with different exit stratagies. For intraday I have found that an setting a band just below (about .005 below) the 60 period moving average on a 5 minute chart works well. Started w/ the 60 period moving average but decided it needed a little...

I also got into Pets today at 17.70. Almost sold it later in the day when it came back down and I assumed FRV wouldn't be hit. Was about 4 cents away from where I moved my stop up to but it didn't hit. Decided to hold since it closed strong; we'll see if that was a good idea. Didn't...

Thanks for the heads up. Can you provide some insight into what factors you look at to anticipate that it will be added?

Thanks for the chart on VPHM. I love to buy the final universe stocks at the bottom of a channel since I can set a very logical stop just below the channel. One thing I now do having been burned a few times is try to draw the most "conservative" chart if I see multiple options so I see a...

I also took a whirl at TRID and entered at about 25.70. Ran up to 25.90 but then started floating back down. When it ran up I actually moved my stop up to my entry price since I wasn't that confident with it's actions so I ended w/ a wash. Also kept an eye on PETS but never entered.

As mentioned above AAII has a Zwieg screen. They also have software you can download for < $200 and get 1 year updates and continually see selections based on their interpretation of his strategy. Also.. Validea.com has screens based on his strategy but is a bit more expensive...

thanks for the feedback so far. the "swing trading" style I am working through allows me to be away from the computer during the day as long as I have stops set. often they are just below something relevant - a channel, a moving average or similar. i would prefer to set the stops closer...

Thanks. My inclination is to sit this one out for now but my initial impression was to jump in until I saw what happened. We'll see. Mike

Curious how you guys would react to this. I have ASEI on a secondary watch list. It has the required EPS/RS and the right float but isn't on our primary universe because it has only gone up 4 times (not 5) and because it is over $50. Anyway, it was in dryup yesterday so I had it on my...

Relatively new to trading so please excuse the simplicity or "dumbness" of the question. I am currently trading stocks through IB. I've read in a few places that a stop order can be "seen" and that the specialist or market maker can manipulate the price on thinly traded stocks to take you...

Also, just a bit of Info. I have learned so much from this board about trading I thought I'd try to share something back. I have been more "investing" in "value stocks" over the last 2 or 3 years before undertaking the challange of trading. My mentor has been "beating the drum" about how...

Maybe (???) I'm finally learning. On the good but not great front I did enter DXPE at 23.02. Unfortunately I got a little impatient w/ its wild flucations and overmanged (should have gone out) selling it for a slight profit at 23.20 earlier. About 1%. On the good front I managed to get...
