What I am looking for is a software package with daily candlestick charts where I can put in a list of stock symbols (1500 -2000) in a column on the right, and arrow down to each new symbol and have the chart pop up immediately (using a fast internet connection like a cable modem). This may...

I am looking an end of day charting software package comparable to RealTick that is either free or low monthly fee. I like the clear candlestick charts and fast response of Realtick, but can no longer pay the $240 monthly data fee. Can anyone recommend a good package for me? Ideally I...

Where do I download the user manual that explains how to enter conditional orders in ActiveX Excel Spread Sheet?

Has anyone actually developed the ideal profit to loss ratio based on how the market operates? How was 3:1 profit to loss ratio chosen instead of say 4:1 profit to loss with 20% win rate, or even a 1:3 profit to loss ratio with 75% win? I suspect that I lot of disciplined traders use stops...

Dear Mr. Woods, Thank you for posting a detailed summary of your personal trading results using your Float Analysis system. I plan on ordering your book in the near future to learn more about what makes the indicator work. I have a few questions which I would be grateful for you to...

Basically I use REALTICK to obtain close of day open,close,high,low,volume for about 10,000 stocks. I put my cursor on the interest list, copy to clip board, and then paste in an EXCEL spread sheet. I wrote an EXCEL macro that stores the closing price to a history sheet for calculating...

The stock list is one that I paste in from EXCEL, not an .slf file. I have a stock list of the entire market (NYSE and NASDAQ) that I paste into REALTICK to obtain closing prices, and then copy and pate back to EXCEL for filtering based on volume, price, trends based on moving averages, etc...

Does anyone know of a quick way to scan a long list of stocks in REALTICK? I scan 400-500 stocks each night, and the only way I know of to look at each stock is to load them all into a list and then drag them one by one over into the chart. It would be nice to be able to set up hot key to...

After I followed Shortboy for a few months I emailed him to ask him to explain the criteria for selecting his play. His reply to me was "I just use my noggin". I found it risky in the long run to blindy follow someone who was not willing to explain his rationale. I find it more useful to...

Candletrader, I was not trying to be ‘smug’, but merely suggest that it is not prudent to try to make a living by day trading on a account size of less then $25,000. If a trader was confident that he/she could pull 75K out of the market every year, than coming up with 25K should be a...

I would interested to know if anyone on this thread is trading with full time with less than $25,000 account and making 75K+ after taxes. If it is possible, I may reconsider quiting my full time job!

I find it hard to believe that someone with less than $25,000 can actually day trade full time and expect to make a decent living anyway. Even if you were to make 400% return on your captial, after taxes and health insurance, you can expect to take home less than $50,000 annually. What...

Does anyone know if other deep discount online brokers will be offering 4 to 1 margin (ameritrade, datek, etc.), or is the 4 to 1 margin primarily a perk for more expensive direct access brokers?

Try qcharts at http://finance.lycos.com/home/qcharts/default.asp The software allows you to pull up historical quotes down to 5 minute ticks and download to EXCEL spreadsheet for processing.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have the exact location of your reference from IB? The higher rate direct access brokers tell me that the reason the deep discount online brokers are able to offer such a low commission is because of payment-for-order-flow, and it is better to pay the higher...

I am considering openning an account with a deep discount online broker to save commission costs. I was told that many online brokers sell their orders to market making firms through a process called "payment-for-order-flow" Does anyone have a list of online brokers who partake in this...

I still don't understand. Is there a way that I can pull up a chart of "automotive industry - AUX"??

Thanks for the info Babak and Hitman. Do you understand how these indeces work? For example, the automotive index has a symbol of "AUXX"; however, I am not able to pull up a chart by entering that symbol in REALTICK. Is there a different symbol to enter to get the chart? Thanks.

Where can a find a list of stocks included in each sector index? For example, what stocks are included in $SOX.X Semiconductor index, $YLS.X Telecom index, etc? Thanks.
