Savage-Yoda: I pay attention to the range throughout the day. It is one of the indicators that I use. I know from empirical observation how far it typically carries by like 11:00/11:30 EST. I also keep an eye on the average daily range to get an indication of how far it may carry and...

Tradestation and Metastock can do this. I'd also guess that NeoTicker and Realtick can do this. Most of the good charting programs should include the ability to do X tick charts.

The biggest benefit to simulation imo is honesty. The results are there and can't be changed with an eraser.

If the TV camera isn't rolling, then there is no news. At least that's what CNN thinks. Just so we keep on topic of trading, if there are only 3 people watching the overnight session in a particular market, is movement of that particular market important?

Yes that was out of hand. Same with the French thread(s). But the current thread ("smoke and mirrors" in the Trading forum) has some merit to it but some posts are just arguing. Many of the "investor" issues do affect traders also. If an exchange goes down for whatever reason it affects traders...
