Cheers Doug, I know OptionsXpress upped the settlement to $1 but when i pressed them they said that was all i would get! just wondering if there was any more suggestions on how to get them to honour the $2.03 they quoted! probably got more chance of seeing pigs fly

Since I'm only allowed to post one public list at Stockcharts I'm thinking about replacing the IIC 100 w/ lists that I actually watch...I can put it somewhere else.

Trading going OK...Only made 8 r/t's last week 4 QID and 4 TZA...went very good...If it had all been in one day...Also held some QID over the long weekend.

Hope everyone had a nice 4th...I don't know how many may find this of interest and I've only mentioned it a couple times at my chat but I thought I'd take a stab at showing you a couple charts that may spark some ideas for you in trying to help determine the trend. I do this for myself with the Nasdaq 100 but I doubt many are interested in that index so I made up some charts of the SP 500. The top chart depicts the percentage of SP 500 stocks that are in a daily ema uptrend...The bottom chart depicts the SP 500 Daily Index value....It is my first shot at ever doing .xls charts so they are not that great and are not exactly the same size...Thought about possibly doing an overlay or leaving the Index chart out and simply putting a link to it. Here ya go: http://sharptraders.com/sp500ema.html ... Used eod data for this altho I run my own intraday too...Doug

You don't look at the BDI or Dr. Copper, do you?

Long term bear mentality is going to get in the way of your day-trading activity. That bias just might lead to an unusually uncertain conviction on next week's trading due to the market whip about to be applied to bears

Day Trading on techicals and intermediate and long term investing on economics are two completely different animals...Sorta like Bears and Bulls...Doug

PS...But you do make a good point...I made a lot of technical trades last week...But the two weeks prior I mostly sat on my hands and watched and did almost nothing because of my longer term view...Coulda been worse tho...I could've tried to buck the technicals.

It is very critical as a day trader to let your personal view take a back seat to what is happening right in front of you...But as I always say...I'd rather miss a profit than take a loss
