How many underlyings do you watch/trade?

Truly, you're a legend in your own right hand.

He must have one of those new 4k monitors with extra super duper high resolution to fit all 200 charts.

I check 200+ instruments/products everyday on all markets: Forex, Commodities, Futures, Indexes and Stocks.

Really?you can watch all 200 at once? Impressive.

To be fair, he did type that he "checks" 200+ instruments/products everyday on all markets. That is not the same as following and/or watching them all.

Just a point of order there. :-\

Ok, but the question was never about how many symbols you check, i guess technically i check a couple thousand symbols a day using a scanner, but i dont physically look at 2000 symbols the scan filters them all, and i WATCH/TRADE 9 of them and short list that to 2....... it was about how much you watch/trade.

I follow 2, and check 5. I feel so small now.

I'm curious as to what a "sane" number of underlyings is to trade. I watch/trade a list of 30

What is everyone else thinking/doing in terms of a comfortable number to watch/trade

I just watch/trade One thing -- KISS: keep it simple, stupid....is my philosophy.

There is no necessarily right or wrong way to trade -- but personally for me, I kind of just go in for the One big kill.
If I were an Army General...I would order a nuke -- or if I were fishing, I'd go whale hunting.

Jesus dude, thats a newbie death trap you arent actually watching all those symbols you just have a list of symbols there, unless you are automated there is no way to trade/watch all those symbols.
