Traders-Charleston WV?

Do you live in Huntington now? I am originally from Logan (but don't hold that against me) :p

I used to get together with a friend every week and talk about trades and the market etc....but he moved to Wisconsin. It was nice to be able to talk to another trader.

Guys....thanks for the replies.

What kinds of software systems are you employing and data services are you using?

What are you primarily trading? What are your trading goals?

For me, I use Nirvana OmniTrader and AmiBroker.

www.omnitrader.com
www.signalwatch.com
www.amibroker.com

Omni has worked great for me, but I am slowly shifting to AMI because of its programmability to automate my personal sifting criteria with less hours on my part.

If the interest is there, maybe we could all get together for a informal discussion session over a meal at a centrally located point like Winfield....(or whatever the group likes)...something equidistant from Logan, Huntington and Charleston...(but with good chow!) I also received a direct email from a fellow in the Marrietta area.

Maybe we could put together something once a quarter to get together and swap experiences or maybe find a very experienced floor trader that would be willing to teach/answer questions without trying to sell us something.

What kinds of ideas do you guys come up with? I would be willing to pitch in on making something like this work.

Regards,

Bruce

Bruce,

I use IB for my data and use Quotetracker for my streaming charts. (yes I am cheap :) ) I also have Metastock that I use if I need to use long historical data. I also keep a spreadsheet, going back to spring of 2001, of data I get from IBD every day. I like to track breadth indicators (like 90% up volume days, 5 day ma of advancers and decliners etc... and a bunch of other stuff)

As far as trading ideas I simply use 1 pattern on three indexes. I have morphed into a very short term trader. Which is how I found this site. I haven't been trading this style for very long though.

Although I used to trade like CANSLIM or if you know about Mark Boucher his upfuel/downfuel criteria. It is described in his book, Hedge Fund Edge. It is very similar to CANSLIM but has a valuation requirement in it and it also went short.

My goals are to make 5% a month.

I am open to the idea of meeting once a quarter to talk. Since I live in Charleston I am game for any restaurant.
