Thanks irby; again, I appreciate your response and the info.

I guess I still have one question (that same old question again). I'll try to ask this in the right way. As a newcomer (I've only been trading for one year), my question is pretty basic, and yet may be hard to answer. In fact, I've been asked this question once or twice myself.

You gave the example of Amazon.com as a wide ranging or volatile stock. This was evidenced by the daily range, as shown by the bars. But there are about 11,000 stocks in the Investors Business Daily, and countless other stocks on bulletin boards. So, how did you know to look at the AMZN, or COMS, or CSCO, etc? What makes you go after their quotes and charts?

Now I know of several stocks that make the news or the most active list. But there must be a method to isolate the good trading stocks. Rambus doesn't really make the news; I don't think it made the most active list before its recent move. But every day trader would have loved to capture just a piece of that move.

Guys like Jeff Cooper have their own software written. They can scan through thousands of stocks and flag their specific setups. Then they sell those setups via fax and email for an expensive monthly subscription. But how should individual investors like myself go about establishing a valid hit list. Again, any help would be appreciated.
