I just started trading in October. I don't have a lot of money to
start with, but my goal is to be able to move to a small town in
Mexico within a year. So, besides trading, in my free time, I'm
trying to learn Spanish.

I've read Getting Started in Technical Analysis by Jack D Schwager,
and am about 3/4 of the way through Trading for a Living by Alexander
Elder.

I've been happy with my progress so far, but I have a question:

I'd like to find a program/website that can provide technical
analysis screening to generate ideas. What I've been doing so far has
just been using bigcharts.com and looking up any chart as I think of
them, but that pretty much limits me to retail and restaurants.

I just got a subscription to MetaStock 8.0, but I'm not too
comfortable with it. It looks like you have to learn a whole
programming language just to get it to screen stocks. I already
downloaded the Formula Book pdf from the equismetastock group, so
hopefully that'll help. But are there any other programs/websites
that offer stock screening that are simpler to use?

Thanks in advance.
Alan

You may wish to consider Investor's Business Daily site at www.investors.com
or www.wallstreetcity.com for search screens. Hope this helps.

Is this going to keep rallying or turn back?

Trudy

Hi Trudy,

OCA has resistance at $8.33/$8.50 and support at $7.75
Until it breaks out of that channel, we're just guessing.
If you want a guess, I'd say that a long trade should be
favored unless $7.75 support fails. The weekly and monthly
trends are up, so I have a bias to the upside for now.

-Neal.

What do you guys think about BVC. It dropped from over $6 to 2.30 in
a couple of days. I can't see anything on insider treading the
charts, or the company news that would indicate a drop like that.

I would like to get started with the stock market. I have been using
a virtual system for a little while now which has helped a lot but
there is one thing it doesnt cover and thats creating an account. I
have looked at ameritrade, etrade, shareholder and the such and they
are all very sneaky as to how they charge you (or i just dont
understand)
Im looking to invest $1000-1500 in to two stocks and will probably
leave them alone for some time. What is the cheapest way to do this?

Thanks
Justin

I use OptionsXpress.com. They are a little higher on commisions, but
they are the only ones that allow Selling naked puts in an IRA. They
just hold the strike price from your account till exp. If you don't
trade an IRA, go with the cheaper.

hi, can you tell me what charting package that is that you have as
the sample chart at the top of the message board, with the chat room
introduction. is it good software? u recommend it. the software i
use now is very powerful but a little clunky. how's that one?

Sean, that is Esignal, you can see more screen examples here:

I like Esignal, give it a try.

Hi
I picked all these stocks from the United States Chart Company
magazine. Most have long basing action with low volume and are
priced pretty low. What do you guys think? ALAN ALT ABCX BI CRTQ
VIFL HYPR JBOH MDLK OPTI SPNS SHOE
Nick

Nick - the first thing I do when considering a stock
purchase is determine whether it is optionable or not.
  The reason is that optionable stocks must meet
certain minimum criteria which indicate at least a
modicum of safety.  Personally, I prefer equity index
trading, using Bollinger bands and other probability
indicators.  Regards, Dr. Joe Pollani

"optionable stocks must meet certain minimum criteria"? Please
forgive my ignorance I am new to treading. I don't understand.

E*trade and Ameritrade are both very simple to set up.  Etrade bank
is also federally insured (not your investments mind you).

Trades at E*trade run at $20 per transaction, so on a typical
buy/sell of a stock you will have $40 in transction costs.  If you
calculate this out as a percentage, consider that it is a whole 4% of
a $1,000.  This means that your stock will need to appreciate a full
10% before you realize a 6% gain in your $1,000 investment (I know
you had said $1,500, but I'm using round numbrs to keep the
calculations simple and clear).  As a rule of thumb, I don't like to
trade in lots of less than $2,500 so that the transaction costs are
minimized.

Once you have developed your account up to a significant amount, and
you start making 27 or more trdes per quarter, transaction fees are
reduced to only $10 (Power E*trade).  Ameritrade has similar charges
and programs.

I would advise the obvious.  Know your company and know their key
ratios.  And don't be afraid to loose your money, seriously, if you
can shake the fear then you can see the financial picture less
emotionally.  Take a loss if it looks like the stock will
continuously head down.

Since you are starting with a small amount, if you are going to
invest aggresively with it, and you get a hot stock that you have the
fortune of 2x your money in, sell half so you can recoop your initial
investment and also allows you to diversify your portfolio.  (And at
that point your acocunt instantly matures from a simple stock account
to an experienced portfolio :'}  )

Good luck and let us know if you find some hot data.

Thanks for the detailed response. I ended up going with Scottrade. Great
company, $7 a trade and I managed to get 3 free trades.
I put in 1000 to ADI and that's worked out really well for me. It has made
me between 50-100 and with their report coming out on the 14th of march I
hope for that to go up even more.
Cisco on the other hand didn't fair so well. There quarterly report didn't
hold as well as expect and they are currently down a bit. But its working
out ok right now, breaking even mostly but have had it upwards of $70 profit
(would have to subtract the $20 I used to wire the money and $7 to sell one
of the stocks, still one free trade)

Both are pretty stable companies which I suspect will continue to go up, ADI
for sure they are going places lately and Cisco, well, they just don't have
much to compete with so it will bounce back.

Either way things are doing well and I find it very entertaining :)
Not worried about losing a little money, just doing it to get started an get
a feel for things.

Thanks for your advice
Justin

Hi,

I'm using some software that projects into the future
the moves of whatever securities.  Ideally the lows
should stay above the projected squiggly line.

The "X" marks the projected high.  After that is
achieved then it comes to corrective waves (not always
but, most of the time).

The RUT seems to be conforming nicely to the
projection.

Nasdaq however, is being not nice, it jumped below it.
  However, it's still possible for the highs to
continue following the projected squiggly line.

I know everyone is expecting a huge sell off with the
indicies plummiting to a penny above zero but, so far
I'm not seeing that.

ProfitPoint continues to do well in March. We closed out half of our
position in ADP for a two day gain of $1.64 (3.8%) We took a
precautionary exit on DY for a 53 cent loss--this still looks like a
good short but we will wait for another entry trigger.
