on any given day you can make a few grand, page-9

hi dave

1) i use Marketscan by Paritech...

run a scan each morning. pick 3-6 shares for my watchlist.

2) i use power etrade (webiress system), hardly ever have any problems.

3) when you've put your 3-6 shares on a watchlist using live feed just sit back and watch the pre open depth. see which are likely for a quick buy.

4) use the KIS method, don't have too many shares on the watchlist (3-6 is more than enough). if you dont do a trade for the day then so be it. there's alway tomorrow.

5) after a short period you get into a rhythm knowing whats what ie: shares that are good daytrade buys.

==================================
Which software do you recommend for scanning SB? Do you run a scan say every 1/2 hour, or is there software that can sit and scan a live data feed.

I have been using The Bourse / BourseData live which I find invaluable to watch particular stocks, but this cannot scan and often only later I find I have missed the action elsewhere.

Which direct trading platforms use Webiress?

I still trade using a broker because I am always worried I will get stuck if Commsec or Etrade or Sanfords goes down under load as so often seems to be complained about on HC.

Cheers,

Dave
