Hi Rob, I have my Buy/Sell Resistance (SAFE) set at 10% for both sides. Remember that I'm also trading 100 share lots with this stock. That means that the next trade represents about 10% of my position. This expands the range quite a bit. As you can see on the Line Graph, the yellow "Hold Zone" bracket on the right of the screen shows that even this big range isn't beyond this stocks's price swings!

For individual stocks, I usually keep B/S Resistance set at 10% each. I'm not sure I would do the same with a utility company, but with these high BETA stocks, there's plenty of profitable trading. Again, I let the stock's price history be a guide in this. I could leave SAFE alone and shrink the size of the minimum order to reduce the range. If I traded 50 shares instead of 100 it changes the buy from $38-1/8 to $39-5/8 and the next sell from 56-1/8 to $53-1/8.

I checked out the DogPile site. I had to hunt down a few layers to get to where my own AIM site was listed! JJJ investing and StockSystem show up much closer to the top of the pile than my site. I guess I'll have to get some freebee advs. on my pages for Yahoo and some of the other sites so they recognize me!! Infoseek finds my pages the easiest right now.

Best regards, Tom
