Kicking, I agree. I don't use BB, Support and Resistence from the price chart works best IMHO I like indicators for a general guide..

I'd recommend going to the bookstore and "BUYING" a book called "the master swing trader" by Alan Farley. This book talks about Bollinger Bands quite a bit.

I've strictly traded NVDA for the last 4 days. It tracks the Nasdaq futures moves almost exactly. It is a fast bugger though.

http://www.ravenquote.com the only problem with ravenquote is you need the Qfeed data from Quote.com. Some people have problems with Qfeed. They are Beta-testing Ravenquote with the E-Signal Data Feed but currently just Qfeed works.

They don't enforce the rule on Nasdaq stocks until Sept. 28. Trade away!

Introductory books I liked are: - Getting Started in Options ; Michael Thomsett - Introduction to Futures and Options Markets ; John C. Hull No trading strategies in these books however.

I use it to find key intraday Support and Resistance lines based on the previous days activity. It also gives me candidates for the following day such as stocks in a "volatility compression". However, I'm not using Trade Prospector as much lately because I'm using Ravenquote and this...

Also, I'd look to find candidates using a program like bigeasyinvestor that lets you do scanning for stocks near moving averages, overbought/oversold, in downtrends/uptrends, gaps, moving average crossovers etc..

You might want to trade off of S/R lines that you draw on the chart the day before or set alerts in your software. S/R's like key moving averages, previous highs/lows, Pivot Points, Fibonacci levels, etc.. when the stock approaches the S/R line you confirm buy or sell pressure with your...

Sounds like the systems both can operate in a similar manner. It's probably just a function of becoming comfortable with specific different hotkeys. The main point of my question was that with the IB system that I trade with I don't have to specifically click a "CXL" button or cancel hotkey...

Jim, I have a question on order entry with Echotrade that maybe you can answer? With Interactive Brokers, if I have a limit order in the system I can walk the stock up and down with the up and down arrow keys and by hitting my transmit key I can instantaneously change the order to my new price...

Julie, Maybe your not advertising but some other posters seem to be. Its fine for the firm to recruit and grow the company, its just an observation I have.

Julie Echotrade is probably a great firm to trade with, but I'm just curious how much compensation you get for recruiting traders to the firm with the various adverstisement postings on this board? Also, in considering trading there, I'm curious how many traders the firm currently has?

The goal is to not fall asleep at the wheel and to not forget to get off the train when its appropriate for you. Because this train is going where it's going with or without you. When you arrive at your stop GET OFF, you can always hop right back on and take another ride. The crowd is driving...

I use Qcharts/Ravenquote and the Nasdaq quotes are off today 2 decimal places. I'm trading off Time/Sales and Nasdaq futures currently so this problem hasn't hindered me today but it is kind of annoying.

I'd probably use 1min for entry/exit, 3 or 5min for trend longer term term for swing trading?? I don't trade futures but I watch emin nasdaq100's all day, I watch both the 1min and 3min at the same time, side by side.

Grabbit, I'm currently using Ravenquotes two week trial and this program blows me away.. its amazing in terms of alerts, studies, custom formula builder, plugins, etc... you might want to check it out.

Concerning "stay on top".. I downloaded a little program from http://www.download.com .. search for "always on top" and you can download any of the numerous programs that do this. I have my execution window in the upper right corner always on top and when I'm actively trading I have the TWS...

I guess you have to weigh the Pros and Cons: Pros: more leverage/higher returns(larger losses) Cons: more fees
