Reid - I traded TIVO on Friday, in and out in about 1 1/2 hours; something I've never done before. I didn't feel comfortable using the tools I have; this is a question about better tools.

I was watching the AskResearch intraday chart when the daily MACD 8-17-9 started going up. I bought 1000 at $26, held for about and hour and a half (until MACD started leveling off-going down), then sold at 28. During that hour and a half, I used Fidelity Real Time quotes to keep up with the price, the bid/ask volume, etc., but it was clumsy:
1. I had to keep punching in the symbol on the Fidelity Quote page.
2. The 15-min delay of the AskResearch Intraday Chart MACD made me uneasy, feeling things could change and I wouldn't know it soon enough.

What would have been the right software to handle this? TIVO kept going up all day, closing at around 31; would the right software have let me ride it past 28?
