Off Topic:John I have been looking into a number of different charting programs (not free). They all seem to have pluses and minuses. Specifically, I am looking for a program that: 1)Has a wide range of technical tools (adjustable). 2)Is able to chart BB stocks as well as everything else. 3)Can monitor real time more than one position (charts). 4)Has good alert features. 5)Can access news. 6)Does not require history downloads from disks. 7)Allows annotation. 8)Printable charting. 9)Realtime intraday charting. 10)Is able to chart new stocks. There are more criteria, but this fairly well sums it up. I have contacted several companies, but only DBC took the time to send me anything, and the online information is pretty sketchy on the others. I know that TradeStation2000i is popular, but can it do the above? Have you looked into these types of technical analysis programs? If so, what have you discovered? Thanks, Harry

Yes I completely forgot that some people still use pen and paper to do what you were talking about, but then in the old days a trader had from 5 to 10 folks at his command in making charts by hand. The cost of a program such as you and i use is pea-nuts compared to the old way of charting. John when you are making a decision to buy or sell a stock, just how big a decision in % points do your charts have an influence on you? By the way I see that DTN has already replaced scmid symbol with hits, the asked price is 2.37500 and the bid is 2.25000 With this new symbol do you think we will drop off in volume today? Would you care to venture an opinion on what will happen to HITS today in volume and price,, now I think it will be a crap shoot for a few days.----Thanks for letting me ramble on and on but it is nice to know you are out there.----francis terry
