Anyone know what's up with JAKK? I bought at 17-3/8, and it seems to only be tanking since then :(

Bridge, I do not have alerts yet, I have a Mac and there is very little.. So I have to limit the stocks I watch closely to 5 or 6 of my picks that I have picked from studying their charts in Clearstation and news etc. the night before, and Jenna's Watchlists (2-3 days) and Newsletter picks which are prescanned. I usually study their charts to learn what she is seeing. If you put these picks (no more than 30 or so) in a Yahoo portfolio you can keep it open and note price and volumn movements. Then when you note the ones with momentum, watch them closely in Big Charts and with live charts. Checking Clearstation nightly is helpful because it "sorts" your watchlist on a focus page into categories like "bullish", price gain, gap up, down etc. Almost every time I see a stock in the "bullish" section it pops the next day. Basically, it's very time consuming, and exhausting. Alerts are necessary unless you want to watch the ticks all day...The earnings plays that do well stay in Clearstation permanently - you can add hundred's of stocks, and only the movers and stocks with great charts will show on the focus page .

Bridge.. we don't have that many stocks to track compared with normal short term traders who track over a hundred on average. And add to that the fact that a good deal of them are breaking out so if you miss one there is always another. <<<How does one effectively track the technical indicators on all of the stocks looking for buy and sell signals?<<< You should have alerts and you should have real time charting so you can trade the channel breakouts. I understand you can't all ahve optimal trading systems but as in everything in life the more premium the system the more plays you will be able to make. You should be taking the database consisting only of 25 stocks from newsletter (for the whole week and only 7 new ones every day) This is a total of 32 stocks to track the entire week. Add to that the fact that I try my best to give you intraday updates pretty quickly and 'call' the stocks that generate 'buy' signals. << Do you ALL have alerts? >>>>> I have them in a watchlist of sorts but find that i miss the buy and sell TA signals...ie. what triggers you to look at a stock's chart....or do you keep them all open, etc....any advice greatly appreciated? ... I don't keep all the charts open, only the promising ones which is about 10. The others I look at time/sales / bid/asks and just watch the streaming quotes and the volume. I have taken hours to print up customized charts on the newsletters that should help you to identify entries and exits. I have in about half the cases given the resistance levels where it is applicable. You should also look at these stocks after trading hours and try to check out the historical pricing patterns on your own. It's a leap to become a trader, I know. It is said that you need about 100 hours of 'paper trading' and or light trading before you can have the proper emotional distance to trade. But once you start one step at a time it becomes easier.
