Hi Shelia! Yes I am pretty pleased with StockEdge - quite frankly, I could not pull off my nickle and dime day trades with out it. Plus I would recommend Tradewinds realtime charts (they have a free trial) as they add a good visual dimension (plus indicators) to Time & Sales data from StockEdge. Meta Stock has just come out with a realtime charting package that runs on DBC-StockEdge feeds so I will be looking at this soon - it has realtime filters which sould be intriguing. I am also looking at MB and probably will set up an account there too -- mainly for the fast executions. Quite frankly, I am a software geek. I like all try all the screening/testing software I can. I can tell you with all honesty, paying little $$$ for the tools will reap big rewards. I am looking at Technifilter Plus and will try to provide a report. At one time MsSvelte and I looked at our monthly subscripion charges of about $400/month. Then we determined we made an average of over $500 per trading day! No brainer!

Shelia, I don't subscribe to any realtime quote and have no real time charts to guide me. I have a Datek account and it has realtime quotes. So far I don't think I have missed much without the bell and whistle real time tools but my style is more anticipatory (doing homework at night and enter orders before market open by identifying supports/resistence) than playing the intraday swings (that's why I avoid the internuts which have wilder unpredictable intraday swings). Intraday data is useful for establishing stop loss levels after buyin or want to set an auto exit. However, I may be wrong and these tools may give me further advantage I don't yet realize. Shelia, after your in-laws have come and gone, I would be interested to hear some tales of your wifely duties... I don't know how much I can (or cannot) generalize this but my wife also thinks as much about my folks as I for hers. <GG> Must be the in-laws thing... That evil tower (for Pete's sake) - technically this is almost history. The tower foundation is cracked and pieces of its wall already crumbled. The resistence is between $35-36 and Doc, I would consider it a low risk to short it especially if it spikes up to 35-36. We should at least see $30 shortly on this one. I am surprised the oversea markets did not move higher but down after Wall Street managed no slide yesterday. Tom Castelo's statement that the Europeans are factoring in a more prolonged correction at their markets is quite soothing for the bears. Monica is testifying today right? Well, I think the street has come down to this - they are searching for direction by looking up her dress.

Shelia, I remember you did a fundi comparison between the evil tower and its evil cousin, WTW. This evil cousin appeared to get spanked at its midline BB and a trip back to the lower BB is inevitable should the market sell off today. Would you please update us again on its evil? I may switch out of ICOS for a more "definite" downward slide by going to FILE. Almost the same price but in totally different business. FILE's support was broken and confirmed yesterday so the path down in more transparent while ICOS needs to test the 18-18 1/2 support. I would definitely switch if FILE can trade to around $23 for short term trades.
