Jenna finally had a chance to read your well thought out post last night on trading rooms, and I agree with much of what you say. I think it is always wise for people with an inkling to make use of the "Free Trial" and try out a few different rooms. You are right, we all have our different needs and it is hard to tailor to everyone. Personally with all the charts and indicators and websites like Briefing.com that I monitor, I really like an experienced room monitor who takes charge and speaks on a microphone and highlights only the highest reward-risk picks. You don't need a lot of picks to be successful. You need to key into the very best ones, imo. This is where I see many rooms fall short as 20-30 stocks may get recommended during the day. While perhaps a little boring, all one really needed today was a JNPR short and a CMVT long. If just 5-15 stocks or so are eagle-eyed, you can really "home in" and maximize entry and exit points. While I appreciate the ideas of others, it is the moderator that most are paying for and his/her expertise and decisive alerts. The monitors need to keep everyone and everything focused. I also like a daily "faves" list published pre-Market about 9am with the latest news taken into account and then put out about 30-45 minutes before the open. The list of stocks should have charts or at least buy or short sell trigger points. Then, I appreciate a moderator-lead discussion of the pre-Market activity, again verbally. Of course, I am just one voice and no more important than any other. The bottom line in any trading room is whether a person is consistently making money above and beyond the monthly fee and increasing their knowledge. You do many things right, Jenna. Continued good luck. PS-- I agree, your charts are superb.
