Getting carpel tunnel with MetaStock 6.5. Every time I want to remove a chart I get a box that pops up and asks "Do you want to Save Chart". Does anyone know how to avoid getting that pesky screen to pop us so as to save on keystrokes.

Nicholas,

Been there.. Still there!

You're getting conflicting advice because everyone's got a different "window" on the market, ie time frame.

You mentioned the types of stock you are following but you didn't indicate your time-frame (Daytrading, position trading 1 day - 2 weeks, etc.). The variables in the indicators you listed are related to time as in number of days.

So, what you may be missing in the advice that you've been getting is what time frame the advice is based on.

I see that you've checked out the thread Technical Analysis - Beginners. Follow particularly comments from David R. Evans. There is a lot of good stuff at the beginning of the thread which is quite long.

Also a good educational series explaining the use of some indicators is at www.clearstation.com. Check out the education links. They focus more on the intermediate term use of indicators.

HTH

Dale

Nicholas,

I forgot to mention that in addition to time frame a consideration as to the behavior of the stock is important as well. Is is a trending stock or ranging stock?

Some indicators work well for trending stocks and not for ranging and vice versa.

The settings and what indicator to use is up to your mindset. The books pass on the author's mindset. or repeated classic formulas. yes you must play with settings to tailor it to you.

The first thing is Know yourself, then find a way to measure your plans. But you need to make sure it fits the majority of stocks you deal with, not one or two.

Hope you find your system.
