AN EXCELLENT TRADER:

- will execute very fast with no hesitation.
- will execute the maximum number of shares that the trade dictates.
- will follow rules without hesitation.
- is quick to exit trades when the trade goes against his reason for entering it.
- knows when the market changes and goes with the flow
- is willing to sit on his butt to preserve his capital.ÿ
- knows how the trade will go most of the time before he enters it and can exit with any abnormal behavior.
- never tries "iffy" trades but only seeks high percentage patterns.

I am new to daytrading. I attended your free class for a week. I am now trying to catch up on the basics - before making the decision to join the group. I receive the mtrader emails regularly. Thank you very much. I have a few questions.

On your "in-betweeners" or change in direction

When trades between the bid and the ask take place - that is the signal to Ken for a change in direction. This must be accompanied with trades occurring at the bid (for downticking direction - the trade is a sell as it is occurring at the bid price) or ask (for upticking direction - the trade is a buy as it is occurring at the ask price)

On Datek live quotes the volume indication is accompanied by either a green arrow pointing up or a red arrow pointing down. Is it right to say that the "in-betweener" (change in direction) occurs when the arrow turns from green (up) to red (down) and vice versa.

Does green indicates upticking and red indicates down ticking?

I use bullsession.com for live quotes. Any comment on the quality (in relation to price) of the quotes? Any recommendation for a better service?
