Eric well, i am on vacation in my favorite journy area, Iowa. Of course I am a bit biased as I am a native. But for those who want to get away from the pace of life a daytrader lives in there is no better place to roam. Starting Sunday I will be on RAGBRAI. For those who enjoy a physical vacation with lots of socializing it is the best. 15-20K group every day riding across the state of Iowa 70-80 miles per day. Regular rolling mardi gras. ragbrai.org ht david

I'm sure there are many of us who look forward to your report on Pristine. I have followed them for a while, used their various services and have respect for them. The unfortunate thing is that even for paying subscribers, the REASONS for getting in and out of the trades they pick are not sufficiently laid out. The picks are nice, but the education is where the real profit is. I will be interested to hear if they give you enough to walk away with a solid enough plan and techniques that you could make your own trading decisions and have a reasonable chance of seeing the same thing they do when they make their picks.

Eric, my 2cents on the questions asked: 1) 24 hr trading? Dumb idea. But if I were a market maker I would think it the greatest invention since sliced bread. 2) The only published set-ups I've seen are Cooper's, Conner's, and Raschke's (from their books). I think they are all very good, but of course require a lot of skill and experience to execute properly. 3) Vacation spots: I do not vacation since I love trading too much. In fact I hate the weekends (esp. 3 day weekends, argh!) since I can't work then. The wife likes Thailand though. ~Smart$

Lets talk about how rotation occurs in the day trading of stocks. When the market is up, one group of stocks gets the attention. On a down market when that group encounters profit taking, another group of stocks are traded. Of course there may be a few stocks that rise in price on an up and down market. Then there is that three day cycle I have noticed in the market. I also would like to find ideas for a list of stocks broken up in categories that day traders follow to gauge the market and also to help determine the group of stocks that are getting attention on a given day. This includes leaders in a sector, first and second tier categories of stocks in a sector, market leaders, bellweathers, sentiment indicators that are stocks widely held, the defensive stocks that are not high growth but demonstrate reliable earnings that are followed by the market, sentiment driven stocks that perform in a bullish market, and so forth. For a list of stocks that are in sector, I would be interested in starting with the sectors that are now performing in the market. Also selection of stocks that would be very representative of their sector would be nice for a screen to monitor the market to see where the money is moving to for the current day. Just a few ideas.

Eric, """Does anyone have any fresh ideas for new topics to bring into our discussion"""" This may have been discussed in the past but I am new to the thread. Zen in the Market is the title of a book written by independent floor trader in the S&P futures pit, Edward Allen Toppel. The book is available directly from the author: samuraitrader.com The book is about the inner game and how you play it and how it determines if you will be successful making money in the markets. I have read many stock market books and have contributed to a couple but the one book that increased my trading profits dramatically is Zen in The Market. Cosmo
