Rodneyman, Start computer folders on sectors you are interested i.e. Oil & Gas/Copper/Gold/CSG etc then have sub folders under each category i.e. Oil & Gas would include MEO,CVN,NXS,WPL etc. Within each of these folders save important ASX announcements/press reports/Annual Reports/Quarterlies/excellent HC posts on company. Over time you will have a large data base you can quickly check information on a company you follow. Starting out it may be worth making your brief summaries on the key points about the company, that way you can remind yourself why you bought the stock. Personally I would startout with the fundamentals but buying say the Bullchart package could be of good assistance in using simple charts. Incredible charts have a simple chart package that can be used for free. Whilst charts give good visuals & help with exits, don't forget the fundamentals come first. Remember not all trades workout for the best, but every trade does bring experience & hopefully confidence to continue. By the way there are very few successful full time traders, many last a few years, but few make a career out of it. Start slowly & don't get to overconfident too early in the game, because we all have falls. Good Luck Buffett
