    Greetings folks, Yesterday was exciting. I wonder if those large block trades should be treated suspiciouly or almost as a coat-tail reinforcement for these methods. Do most people consider LEVEL II data for the volume breakout methods? I guess that i still only respectfully...

    by the way... Marketwatch.com has free email alerts based on volume through their virtual trading. I think you could set it up to send something to your phone. It is probably delayed 15 min. but maybe useful to some. Cheers from north England, john
