You can probably try this:

Pull up the chart, resize as needed and press Alt+PrintScrn on your keyboard and paste it in Paint program, and save it as jpeg.

I use TC2k as well and i have a free program called Infranview that you can download for free. All you need is to print screen from TC2000 and paste it in Infranview and save it on your computer as JPG file. Then, this forum will allow to upload to their servers.

Here is a link to one that I have on this site: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18819

This is an easy utility to use and many charts on TC2000 will recquire some resizing to fit the max bytes ET allows.

You will be able to post a few charts that way.

My trading is based very much upon your trading style, I too scan hundreds of stocks a night and use 10, 20, 50 and 200 ema's on one tab (primary) and 13, 26 and 150 on another.

Could you share what moving averages you use? Any other indicators on TC2000 that tend to be on the charts you view?

Hello swimmus,

I'm still in the experimental stage.

But I'm sticking with the typical simple moving averages. I'm using the 5,20,40, and 200.

I have experimented with others like the 13, 34, 50, 100, etc., etc.

I believe that they all serve the same purpose. The number that I plug into my moving averages doesn't really matter that much to me. I just have to be consistent with what I use.

I'm also using the MACD.

Good Trading,
gotta_trade

One suggestion - maybe you could pick a few charts per week and post them. It would be good to see what you are looking at when you trade. Maybe one that worked well, and one that didn't.

Keep up the good work.

Okay, I finally did it, I figured out how to post a chart on ET.

So, I'll post my open positions. There will be 6 different charts.
