What do you mean by opening range scanner? Like a 15min breakout? What software do you use?

2, if they don't move I don't trade. It used to be 3 but one of them split and it sucks now. I think this may cause a problem when they both hybridize sometime in the next few months.

none. i trade one future only, the emini russell. That's it. Nothing else. I have investment accounts that have stocks in them that i manage, but i only trade one thing, and one thing only. My brain works to slowly to concentrate on more than one thing at a time.

How much do you guys pay on commission R/T on a 1000 shares?

capitalistpigs · Oct 19, 2006

depends on the number of setups that i catch.

usually 2 or 3 a day.

if markets trending strong/weak, maybe 5-7.
