I forgot to mention, that there is a really nice program at kanisa.com, called Internet Trader, that has a great feature called Global Scan, which will also scan the markets for stocks that meet the criteria you establish. It is Web-based, free, and 20 minutes delayed, but it very nice. I know many people who use it and love it. You can scan once, or every "x" minutes, using parameters you establish, including price, volume, % change, p/e ratio, and many other technical indicators. You decide which ones to use or not. I use the same program's real time version, called Real Time Trader, (http://www.naq.com) as a backup quote service, and use the Global Scan often. By the way, both programs have one of the better charting features I've seen. They were written by the same people who wrote DBC's Signal and Stockedge programs. Not a bad complement to run alongside CyberTrader or any other trading program. Len

I have a second account for two reasons. One, to get futures. Two, to get news. When CyberCorp finishes their feeds, I'll probably think twice about paying the $400 a month for the redundant feed. Actually, I'll probably just eliminate the Level II and shave it down to about $125 per month and use it for research... Which brings us to SoftWizard. It's semi-useful, but I found myself taking my eyes away from what I should be watching (i.e. Cybertrader) for trading, instead of doing some laborious research in the middle of the trading day. I have my PC Quote set up to do some of the things you can already do, and I have mine customized for the stocks I trade, so I wasn't really in the mood to give it an in-depth testing... Sorry for asking you all this, but you just seem to know everything (meant as a compliment, of course!). I know nothing, especially about trading, but I'm curious as hell and that's why I get into trouble, like crashing my machine multiple times today...
