I would like someone to give me some TA on two stocks. First one in the infamous AOL. Second , but not least is SLVN. Thanks in advance for your insights.

P.S. Does anyone have a " favorite " book on TA, since I am becoming
very interested in it as a tool for investing.

Hi Harry,

I have not looked into this package but it may have what you want. I do think it is a little pricey?

windowonwallstreet.com

With all the free historical data around and free intra- day data one could develop a tool that will do what you need. Pull data historical daily data from Yahoo and the intra-day data from WallStreet City. One would have to collect intra-day data, as I do not know of any free historical intra day data sites. One would have to access WallStreet City every day at close to build a intra-day database.

I have some of the charting and data access components written but have not integrated them.

Ron,

Can you be a little more specific on what style of trading you are trying to do. If it is day trading then your needs are a lot different from those of a position trader. For example, day trading requires unlimited access to real time quotes, while position trading does not.

If you have enough bandwidth you can probably do some of the elements you are talking about by opening more than one copy of your browser on different sites.

Harry
