DB- No, I haven't read Darvas' book, but several people have recommended it to me, so it's on my "to read" list. My question on stops dealt specifically with setting up ProTA's trading systems. I guess if one's system bought on a breakout that you could use a 5 or 10% stop. But then what do you do to protect profits? ProTA has a trailing stop feature that can be triggered after a certain amount of gain, and a couple of other settings to boot. And, there's always the "Exit Long" trigger that one could use. As I mentioned in a previous post, ProTA is sufficiently full-featured that I'll take awhile longer to grasp all (or most) of it. pg

Just wanted to say that I also read the Darvas book and it is one of the best written. His other books are out of print and I have been trying to get them from antique book stores. On ProTA, I am thinking of trying it after reading posts about it. Question: Since I use Hotline and I would continue to do so, would I be able to dial into DialData twice, to keep both folders current? How would that work? Also, is there a demo of ProTA or screenshots somewhere? What interests me most is that Hotline's personal alerts are too limited. I would like to program about 20 personal indicators and have them show up by name. Tanks for any help. Harry
