one word: esignal.com We've been using them for 4 years daily, only 3 days with any data glitches of any kind (and two of those were pre-2001). and that's with a data feed reaching me out here on a tropical island in the middle of the pacific ocean. easily best in class. ken

As we wish our armed forces the best (go kick some butt, folks, and stay safe), let's get some thoughts together for potential plays for Thur morning trading and beyond. Since there's no uptick rule for ETFs, I would be looking to play gap continuations/reversals in DIA SPY QQQ long and short...

fwiw, my personal favorites in no order are: Casino Pulp Fiction The Princess Bride Monty Python and the Holy Grail True Lies Unforgiven Goldfinger Austin Power Terminator 2 The Spy Who Loved Me Indy Jones trilogy Star Wars Trilogy The Cotton Club Caddyshack Total Recall Little...

talking heads are worse than useless, they frequently mislead people, intentionally or otherwise. It's entertaining though lol. What Matters is price action. Show me the chart. Show me the tape. Show me the nas trin. premkt futs, spoos and the sector percent changes from open are doing...

we go up and down, as always. (not said to be flip, rather, to state it as a trader looks at it). ken

nice moves today in: DRYR BBOX FITB for gap/breakout type plays.. :) relying more heavily on gaps and breakouts in current market since many core trading stocks in typical software/semi/biotech sectors have had "quiet days" .. so scanning becomes more important, to catch these...

exactly, Brandon - good points. my first few years, too -- "seeing myself as a trader" meant I should look for trades every day, all day long. self image of "hey you're a trader so you're supposed to try and trade all day every day" a la typical 9-to-5 mentality work ethic. that's wrong...

usually best to simply not trade a stock when it's still inside the high/low range of it's previous trading day. or after 11am. or when the COMPQ is inside it's prev day hi/low. 2-day high/low breakouts, eg CDWC- short today 3/10, GILD+ long, out of 2day ranges, the best type of plays imho...

blast from the past: Stuart showing his boss how to buy KMart stock for $17/ share in his office. (stuart = the dell guy?) what was the tagline? forgot... (it's easy, thanks stuart ..?) also, all the trucker buying his island type commercials, late '99 were funny. wish I'd taped em...

thx.... hey let me know if someone gets a new p4 motherboard and it supports multiple pci vidcards etc (eg name/mfg)... since the p4 850e chipset m/bs don't.... tyan/asus boards have been ok for me, the intel p4 m/b I got was slow, and the gigabyte p4 one kept rebooting .. re cooling...

agree Shaman, that's correct... fwiw, ATI radeon cards, I didn't like the 7500 one I got since it will not work with any other cards on the same m/b..

matrox parhelia (3 monitors), or a geforce4 ti4200 (2 monitors) for gaming + multimedia work.. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=P450-7248 just got one for my 3rd pc, great for 2 monitor support, fast, and for multimedia work.. (kudos to tiger...

lol archangel, interesting analogy .. works... agree, having norton a/v is ok, also good to have pestpatrol.com and adaware for anti-trojans, and zone alarm for firewall. re compusa, I seem to not get many of the rebates they're supposed to send.. anyone else? ken

thx re mailwasher program, looks good.. first one I've found that interfaces w/hotmail accts etc .. any good anti popup programs? pestpatrol.com & adaware are useful for antitrojan ken

agree...10-11:15am is the best timeframe. Add 9:40-10am, for experienced traders. Most post-11:30am markets are slow chop, like today, yesterday, etc. Verify: Look at the last 3 months worth of daily COMPQ charts, and mark out where the biggest runs, moves occurred, each day...then...

Good question, and agree, strictly following my 2d hi/low approach would've had the short call in the 46.7 to 46.4- range or thereabouts (eg .3 to .6 under the prev day low). Main reason was, I didn't post a trigger on it til later in the session because the previous day's SYMC chart was...

Opening range 2-day high/low breakouts are my favorite play. This is likely the best live call I will make all year, so here it is. Today, I called live short SYMC at 45.3- and cover 40.55. Here's the chart: http://www.daytradinguniversity.com/symcfeb28aplus.gif Anyways, these...

and hey all this time, I thought these were the way to go lol: http://community.webshots.com/photo/15709278/15709370kOJSLdQQmI http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,710632,00.html ken

more buyers than sellers.

good re the COST... I had our folks learn from my "long GILD 32.85+" call, said to exit at 33.39 using time/sales for the trailing stop ... agree re breakouts and gaps are best ... esp on volume In the current market, these 3/8 to 1/2 point clips are fine for 20 minute roundtrip type...
