Daniel, I don't use leverage. The numbers are across all 3 of my trading accounts (I use 3 to avoid reg T restrictions). And yes, I utilized my entire capital. At present I'm 30% cash and as soon as I see one of the stocks on my radar verify a move, it will go to work. I have developed quite a few systems and techniques that start with the intention of significantly reducing risk and also flagging stocks with potential for double digit % gains in 1 to 3 days. Timing techniques for entry I use often signal action within minutes of a move. On the 56 thread, the stuff I teach at my seminar has been used, together with a few other bits and pieces, by attendees of my seminar and myself to devise scans to create an initial list of candidates. On a new thread, we then eliminate those that are questionable to narrow the list to a more manageable size. From there, I'll run that list thruogh a final culling process and out of over 100 stocks from the initial scans, we'll have a handful of technically "supercharged" stocks to "stalk". These are trading opportunities and not investments. You have to be there to make the most of them. Thanks for your comments. Doug R
