William or Darren, Are either one of you using a "traders chat room" during the day? Today was one of those days where everything I did was ill-timed. Made one mistake that cost me over $3k because I got shaken out, only to watch it tag on 1.50 within minutes after I sold. Then at the end of the day I ding out of one at 29.56 only to watch it close on strength at 30.25. Had two others deflate before I could get out, hanging in on those two hoping it was just a consolidation after a nice run-up. God I hope so. All told, watched almost an entire weeks work go out the window in a in a NY nanosecond. Reason for mentioning this, wanted to know if either of you have a preferred way of "banging out" on the down-tick? The Smart Mkt. key doesn't seem to get the job done and Island is too difficult to time on a crippled Eagle, as it falls. Raleigh

William (and others who have responded). I am not trying to alter the tone of the thread, but I do value all viewpoints. I have posted before how valuable I consider your information. But don't you think we're carrying this rejection of anyone who even begins to defend another viewpoint too far? It's certainly true that there have been some overly emotional reactions, but as I observe in my reading, there have been some damned pointed provocations also. Now, speaking for myself, and NOT claiming any right or otherwise to tell people what to post or what not to. In fact, I am raising the point that perhaps the best informed posters on this thread are going a bit overboard in doing so. I am VERY interested in Cybertrader; I am also VERY interested in hearing other viewpoints. IMO there have been a lot of vituperative posts characterizing varying opinions, or in some cases even just simple observations, as "Spam" or worse. Personally, I don't see it. Again, I must state that I'm NOT trying to include or exclude anybody's opinions; I'm stating my own. Others have that right too, though. I have a bunch of questions, and they involve other alternatives than Cybertrader. Also they're not to the top of my immediate stack, so I'm not urgently posting. But when I do, I definitely would like to post them on a thread the tone of which welcomes serious comment. As an impartial observer, I believe some serious comment is being shouted down here. It reduces the thread IMO. Spots
