There's already a LONG version and a SHORT version in post #1
But this might do what you want

Hey lfrisch and TRO,
Actualy I am very new. IWork duing the day and have to place my trades at night.
I also use Scottrade and they charge me $14 for a round trip. Today was my first shot at swing trading. Using TRO's "SLOW COOKER FOR SWING TRADERS" ( thank you very much TRO! It woiked for me!)
Ibought RDN at market open and then placed a sell at 2% and it hit and sold 24 min. later!
So, do I have to wait for my funds to be available until Thursday? Or can I use them now?
One thing I found with Scottrade is I had to wait until I owned the stock before I could place my sell stop. Is that common ? If so how can I set it up the night before and not have to be there after the market opens to set my sell stop?
Also, how do I get to trade cheaper then a $14 round trip?
Thanks to all who respond.
StJoe
=================================================================
I don't know if TD Ameritrade is still offering their IZONE accounts. $10 round trip unlimited shares.
If you have a MARGIN account then you don't have to wait 3 days but you can't do more than 3 round trips (day trades) in a 5 day period or you're account will be flagged as a PATTERN DAY TRADER.
If you have a cash account then you have to wait the 3 days. Just divide your account into thirds. That way you can trade each day.

I am not quite sure about this TRO.
But can't you make a stock filter which looks for STATS between all stocks where you PICK one stock on mondays and hold to fridays and sell them there.. which stocks tend to move up in these 5 days ?
Best Regards
Chris

That would be the first filter posted UNLESS I don't understand your question.
Perhaps the above is what you wanted....
How many times Weekly Close - Weekly Open above 1%.

TRO , I just want to know that I am correct.
That means that you can also use the filter for example today and get results for the best gainers(next 5 days)? Or it is only for using in the weekend?
I thought it could be a nice filter if you could make it just for the "next 5 days" which stocks is statistically open over 1% over the next 5 days?
But indeed I tried this filter and it came up with LNN as the first buy. Would you then tell me the first stocks the filter shows would be the best ? or do you have some kind of let the best stocks be on the top :-) ?

And another thing I see...
What should you be looking for mostly?
wklyprofit column?
qtrpct?
What is the most important. I am not daytrading thats why I just want to buy a stock and hold it for 5 days

=====================
NO.
The date the filter shows must always be FRIDAY because of the way SF calculates the weekly data.
So change the DATE OFFSET to 1 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday, etc...
BEST? That's a matter of opinion.
I choose the ones that have the best stats, best range and most volume.

TRO
It's because when I look at these STATS
Then I see that wkprofitpc and what does ziphi means ? I now big volume is important but what is then the most important?
If I sort the "fivepct" and get it by the highest numbers, then it comes up with RDN and JRCC, but does it means that these stocks would pop more than 5% per week? Can you please be more precise what you mean with choosing the best stats :-)
Thank you TRO :)

I read about ziphi but higher ziphi number means that its a better stock to buy.
Because if these over 5 pct shows you can just choose the stocks which mosly is over 5 percent every week and then gain 5% every week ? Why choose the 1% ? Or am I wrong ?
