I use quote tracker to follow the action on my daily portfolios. It is a super program for traders and you can get real time quotes updated however often you want and streaming quotes if you have the right broker. I use Fidelity for my trades and get the feed off Fidelity. If you trade with Datek, I think you can trade directly from quote tracker. It is free with advertising at the top which you have to click on about once a week or you can buy it for $49. They actually prefer that you don't buy it. I guess they get more money from the advertising clicks. Don't know if you are familiar with it but this is not an advertisement, I just like it a lot and have no economic interest in it. Ro

Rails, Much of my approach to trading was born in the last two years of the bear market in gold where I learned to be distrustful of rallies continuing and to take a defensive attitude. The same trading style probably led me to undertrade during the bear (where I actually made some money while waiting for the bull) and to overtrade during this bull (where I might have made even more with less or no trading, but no complaints). I simply try to stay with greater value and promising charts and sell spikes or over-extended rallies. No targets... I try to take my cues from the price action. I feel comfortable with my trading style now, which I consider to be a key to overcoming that psychological thing. At this point I am willing to accept somewhat reduced profits in exchange for the greater likelihood that I will actually take more of them home. Regardless of the details, IMHO the important thing was figuring out that this (PMs) was the place to be. <g> Best, vt
