Hi John -- I'm not a daytrader nor a TA expert, but I look at everything from weekly down to 1 minute charts for my trades. I look out as far as at least daily to see what it looks like the stock is doing on that basis, and then I look at the intervals down to 1 minute to determine entry and exit points. If I were a daytrader, I definitely would use the 1-minute and 5-minute charts, and probably out at least to 60 minutes. Have you been using IQ Charts for awhile? I've only been using it about 3 weeks, so I'm not an expert. I have a cable modem setup, which is awesome. If you get a chance to do that, jump at it... Mr. Aloha

I have been using IQC for a few months and am very pleased. The support is outstanding and when they had some speed/access issues during the latest upgrade, the e-mailed status to keep users informed. I watch the OEX 15 minute chart and use a 15ma and 30ma to establish market direction. If 15 is above 30 then OK to go long. If crosses under, I exit or go short. I use same approach on individualstocks to try to time entry. It's a simple minded system but better than nothing. I have recently signed up with AIQ which I also highly recommend. It is more costly (about $83/mo for RT charts/news and more) but also displays option charts in RT! I am not sure if I will keep both services in long run, but I am for now. I also use MetaStock for EOD analysis. I like its charting best of all but AIQ is close second and has many more analysis tools. So FWIW, John Lee
