Hi, Dave,

Thanks a million for the effort you have done to solve this. It might be the problem of my own computer since you don't have this problem. I will try other computers when I get a chance. The link you gave on your tube works very well.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Xiaohong

Hi Dave:

Do you think technical analysis or fundamental analysis work in a market condition like now? What's the best way to go about it? There seems to be no logic or rationale to the way markets react and the analysts only seem to add to this confusion...... each time with very convincing "stories" only to contradict themselves later.... case in points, RIM, Potash, Agrium, the list can be endless. Can you please advise on the best way for now?

Many thanks for the great work!

Hi Maajoba,

Glad to hear from you and welcome to the community.

In my opinion we are currently in a daytraders market where technicals can be used on the shorter term charts to trade all of the volatility that we are experiencing. For swing to longer term traders however, right now I agree that there is not a whole lot of rhyme or reason to the market.

With this in mind I am personally not trading much at all until things settle down a bit, which I expect they will somewhat now that the question over wether or not the bailout bill will be passed is out of the way.

Best Regards,
Dave

David, Great web site and lessons. I found this site when looking for info on the subprime crisis and Bear Stearns. I will definitely be back, and also recommend the site to colleagues.
Cheers, Martyn.

Hi Dave:

What would be the chart time frames that day traders normally use? Are they one minute / five minute charts? Also, how many positions (stocks) do day traders generally trade in at a time given that it requires continous monitoring and attention.

Thanks,
M

Hi Maajoba,

Glad to hear from you.

The most common timeframes that I see daytraders using are the 1, 5, and 15 minute chart as well as the hourly chart.

As far as how many positions they trade guys that are in and out of the market a lot will normally trade only 1 position at a time although I am sure there are exceptions to that.

Best Regards,
Dave
