Devin, The four horsemen are INTC, MSFT, CSCO and DELL. It was just a scalping strategy that worked fine for me for many months. But I stopped used it for several reasons. First, I switched over for some time to a direct entry interface and found my executions on those stocks kept locking/crossing in the high, high volume. Second, I returned for most of my trading to a discount broker and the market maker basket systems that are responsible for the major loss in liquidity recently also affected entry of these stocks through them. In other words, market order executions were getting delayed up to 5-min, which is a lifetime when day trading. Alan
