<<Cowboy - I am doing tolerably well, thank you. I hope you are doing at least as well. You never completely appreciate the extent to which you may be addicted to the markets until one of these long weekends occurs. I am suffering from withdrawal already. I guess I'll just go back in history and run some fast sims, like a junkie eats candy between hits.>>
do not be despair, I think 24 hours global trading is on its way ...
you better check into Mike Milken's stock trading addiction clinic, you need al the help you can get ...
if you want a cheaper therapy, go get a girlfriend (but eventually might become more expensive, hee hee hee)
since different individual looks for different things from a real time package (e.g. I look for DMI and you look for time and sale), a different package might suit different people's need, and the good thing is, it only costs 20 bucks a month, and most of them either have free delayed version (like nextrend) or give you a 14 days trail period (like iqchart and quicken), you only have to spend minimally to test it out ...
Can you imagine a few years back, you can get real time quote and charting for less than 20 bucks
actually I forgot to mention
askresearch.com, they also have real time charting for 25 bucks, but they don't have DMI, so to me, forget about it ...
also another service I like is
stockcharts.com
charts are the best and the scan is invaluable (costs about 20 bucks a month), they don;t have real time though, but for those who don't need intraday data, this is a superb site ...
for the 2 sites that I mentioned, they have different features, like prophetfinance will let you have a separate chart for +DI, -DI and ADX which makes it a lot easier to figure out if a signal is triggered, while quicken let you move your mouse to get the horizontal and vertical readings (like if you want to trigger at 22 instead of 20, you can move your mouse until it is at the 22 line and see if there is any crossing, while prophetfinance only show lines at 10/20/30/40 intervals ...) not sure if anyone understand what I am trying to say, but the best thing is to go experiment yourself ...
raining down here in Los Angeles, have to take my boy to his piano lesson in about an hour ...
hope you have fun playing with your charts this weekend ... |
