This is not Shorty but Shorty's wife. I'm fairly new to day trading. My husband says there are a lot of talented traders on this site so I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Today when the market gapped down and failed to do much of anything after the open was I wrong in not...

GG, You have the same misconceptions that many novice traders have, including myself at one time. Hopefully I don't sound too bombastic or evasive, but here's what your doing wrong and some suggestions. 1) You think that you're going to find a system that quickly takes you from novice...

AA, Without going into unnecessary detail, I'm looking to be able to screen based on TA such as MAs and Bollinger bands. Specifically, I'm looking for technical criteria that cross-verify across multiple time periods. For example: Look for stocks that start below the 2nd std dev Lower...

Most, if not all, EOD technical scans are based on a daily OHLC chart. Does anyone know of technical scanning software that allows EOD scanning based on 60 min, 30 min, 5 min etc. candles? I currently use stockcharts for daily EOD scans. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Good Luck and...

What I'm looking for is a calculation for medium/long term S/R. There are very obvious, observable S/R levels you can arrive at by looking at charts, but the ones I'm looking to automate are those where the noise in the charts drowns out the true S/R level. I'm familiar with pivot points but...

Does anyone have an equation to calculate S/R levels from downloaded data in an Excel spreadsheet? I've tried several variations using moving averages, slope, mode, etc., but I'm not getting the results. Seems it should be possible, but the logic is alluding me. Also getting confused...

:D

You can spend ten years teaching a turtle to dance but you only irritate the turtle and frustrate yourself. Let's call a truce. :confused: Good Luck and Big Profits!

Consciousness is intrinsic to nature and existance and does not depend on you or me. We didn't invent it or create it, it is given apriori. Is this pantheism? Maybe, but it's reality. :) Good Luck and Big Profits!

Your joking, aren't you? If you even said the weak force was God's manifestation of his image I'd be impressed. Are you telling me every time I stick my finger in an outlet I'm talking to God?

This is really degenerating. I apologize!:) Good Luck and Big Profits!

Then it must be quarks, psi mesons, or leptons?:(

Can I change my guess to water?:p

Is is water? How about oxygen? Maybe television? OK, Let's try consciousness!

Thanks for the laugh! :p :p :p

You are inextricably woven into the fabric of existence. Your acceptance or denial change nothing. The weak mind knows only what it can see, taste, hear, feel, or smell. The average mind realizes there is more and creates myths to obviate it's fear of the unknown. The enlightened mind begins...

nljones5, The slope of your learning curve will have a lot to do with your intelligence, but can be greatly enhanced by studying with a successful trader. Books are great, but once you read everything out there it's still going to take time to separate the wheat from the chafe. Most...

I just dropped Prophet because of their lousy data feed. The charts are excellent, but without a reliable feed, worthless. :( Good Luck and Big Profits!

I tried the msconfig suggestion and it freed a lot of memory. The MaxMem seems to work well also. I'll be formatting the hard drive this weekend and if the problems still persist, I'll get Win2K. I knew I could count on this group. Keep up the good work! Good Luck and Big Profits! :)

I guess I'm putting off the inevitable. I can get an HP machine with a P4 @ 1,8 GHz, 512 RAM, 80G hard drive, R/W CD ROM, DVD, Win XP, and a 17" .25dpi Monitor for $1200. Is this machine going to handle two screens of QQL w/ about fifteen charts, L2, IB TWS, Datek, 5-6 T&S charts? Any...
