Question for Ken or Steve. Say I am holding 200 shares bought for $35. Now I am putting in a limit sell of the 200 shares for say $38. Also to protect myself I am putting in a stop loss limit of say $34. (I don't have acces to a computer every minute of the day-- I use Datek as the broker) Now, if during the day the stock price declines below 34. and Datek sells my 200 shares what happens if later during the day the stock price goes up say just above $38., Will Datek now SELL 200 shares for me and I am short 200 shares of that stock or does the first action(the stop loss limit) cancel my later action,(the limit sell @38). None of the above has happend to me yet but it is better to know before hand. Regard, Gerard

Ken, I have been working on indicators dealing with historical volatility...Using the 6 and 10 day being 50% under the 100 day and combining other filters with it to generate initial hits...Range expansion and 180's have worked very well combined with historical volatility...Have also employed the ADX indicator looking for a turnaround to the upside in the 15-25 area... My question: To any traders out there that use historical volatility as you begin to generate your initial hit list...What other filters are you using presently? Any input appreciated.....TATRADER.....
