The discusion can be directed to a position day trade for the day or trading the small swings.

-suggested discusion or alert topics
- trend carryover up or down from the previous day

Don'ts
- DO NOT post buy or sell trades without the rational for a trade, and the price level in or out, target market movement for the trade.
-During trading hours DO NOT go into a lengthy diatribe! Be concise and accurate on why you think momentum is building or a trade is in the making.
-DO NOT POST NEWS RELEASES on this thread. Post a "link" to the release
-DO NOT post stocks on this thread
-DO NOT discuss computer configurations, software, and discount brokerage problems (other than to let fellow traders know a system is down). These issues should be placed at;
Subject 8128
-DO NOT discuss political issues
After trading hours we can discuss strategies for the next day, what was done right or wrong during the day, recommendations of what to watch for the next day.
The objective of the thread should be to, make money, help all daytraders sort out their failures and successes, and eventually all of us will become better traders. It is also to form strategies on the next days buying! Let's have some fun with this.
