ctrout,
Awesome on your $5000 day!
Rtucker,
ctrout is right, IMO over all,and I've been with alot of brokers over the years, IB is super.
Everything he mentioned plus I can get short almost any priced stock I want and instantaneously.
If you are a daytrader to really maximize your gains and take advantage of quick situations you gotta be able to get short when the situation calls for it.
There are a bunch of great short opportunities every week.

Thanks for the responses guys. Putting your picks out there daily for others to see/track is awesome. Trust me that any amount of trading tactics/advice that you put out there wouldnt bore me or probably anyone else. And, I do have a JP swing filter that I run. I am a recovering knife catcher! I'll get out of your way. Rock on..

rtucker:
Nothing wrong with catching falling knives as long as you do it the way 13_floor does. Quick ins and out. Trying to catch a falling knife and swinging it ... well that's not too safe. I know one swing trader that caught Crox at 36 in Nov 07 could have got out say around 42 on 12-11. He still owns it at 10. That's not swing trading that's investment praying.
Same guy bot Bidu at 65 rode it up to the peak. He claims there was no technical reason to ever sell it. Now that's just plain wrong. Could you imagine how much more he would have by shorting tops and buying the support or consolidation. Man I would be praying it would come down so I could buy more shares cheaper.

Trout: that's a little early on DE...I will let it cross over the upper band. Keep an eye on UTEK. Get some MCF if it gets to about $78 its in a lovely trading range and could pop either way. Timmy was up nicely this morning but I don't expect much action until tomorrow.

JP:
Do you have a good short filter?? I am not giving stocks much room, I think we are due for a pullback.
I sold DE early today and took the profit on the pop.
Buying July OIH 200 Puts at $1080. Got some time on these.

Regarding DE, thought you liked to play them within your BB's as they start to break up. What am I missing?
