Martin, I'm squeezing this in just before I have to shut down for the day. It's cookin' time around here... and I'm the cook. You can modify the scans in BE. Just click on the scan you have been using then look down at the bottom of the box where that scan is listed and click the "modify" box. The entire contents of that particular scan is displayed. Now, just highlight the line that dictates the Stochastic parameters and make them read whatever you want. Save the changes so you don't have to do it again. Here's an aside. Back to my SBUX trade. I don't have a way to show you a chart on this concept, so I'll just have to tell you about it. This is pure TA. Often times a stock will break out at the 63% point of the total upcoming move. If you take a look at a weekly chart for SBUX you will see a recent low near 20 followed by a high around 31. A move of 11 points. With MSWIN, I can put a Fib retrace grid on my chart and see that 38% of the total move is about 7 points. Add 7 to the recent high of 31 and get 38, my target. As I said earlier... we'll see. Glad to have this exchange with you on a very quiet day. Keep in touch. Ken

Martin, Ken, and TC ... Hey guys, Hello from the Big Apple, I am in NYC right now checking out the Online Trading Expo. Meeting Velez was a real treat! As for BE I went to their exhibit to ask about customizing the stoch.'s but the impression I got was that it would not be an option in the Pro Version. The main benefits will be real-time updates, and more flexibility in programing the screens. Didn't have much time to talk to them, the Exhibit was packed, and I was late for a seminar. Will try to ask them any questions if you have any, but let me know soon as I will be leaving early sunday morning. Running on only 8hrs sleep inthe last 3 days, so I will be signing off shortly. I was working on a BTTT and Pristine type screen at home, will try to post the criteria when I get back. TC, I think the website idea is going to be awesome! Martin I share your frustration about the Canadian Online brokers, Swing trading is the only way to go for us atleast for now. Have you tried AB Watley? They told me they will take Canadian accounts.l
