Introduction Compact

The primary objective of this thread is to provide a forum where daytraders can discuss specific, high percentage daytrading strategies and techniques .

My first series of messages will look at some of the key strategies and techniques that I use to determine the short-term tops and bottoms of volatile stocks. I have used these same methods over the years as a professional daytrader and daytrading instructor. I look forward to having this forum interactive, and therefore would welcome any questions, comments or advice that you may have. I would also like to learn about successful strategies that others have used.

Please note that this thread is not intended to promote individual stocks, but rather to discuss proven techniques for daytrading volatile stocks.
