Rick, thanks for the ideas. I HAVE that book, but haven't gotten too far through it yet. You've convinced me to find the time to read some more of it. I guess "position trader" vrs "day trader" is something I should learn to distinguish. From reading S.I. for several months it seems many flip in-and-out within a few minutes?? I always hold for at least an hour, sometimes the whole day, and sometimes a few days. Now, part of that is because of the "2 minute lag" with my broker. A small 1/4 point gain can turn into a 2 point loss in two minutes! So I have tended to hold longer, and sell when I have a larger gain per trade. With MB Traders, if I can flip in and out every few seconds, I suppose I'll change my style a bit. Colin
