Breakout Trading using Time and Sales

What options does one need? The first 2? What about the 'totalview'?

I don`t think TotalView is necessary, but not 100% sure. Perhaps Mr. Charts (if you are reading this) can help answer...

Definitely get the first two, and you certainly don`t need the last one.

Have a good long weekend !

For those trading U.S. stocks today, I'm going to be keeping an eye on the following stocks as the market opens: AIG, CROX, OVTI, MRVL, ANR, KDN, WCRX, IPG, and DECK.

DECK is likely going to be too volatile so probably not going to trade it.

 

[amit1986]

Nothing yet...my level 2 screen is acting strange today...showing non-existent bids and offers at the top

 

[amit1986]

watching ERF...still got a problem with level 2..

 

[amit1986]

scratch trade on ERF breakdown...it reversed quickly so covered my short for a breakeven trade

Hi Amit

I took ERF with you (thanks) but I couldn't get out for better than a loss of 4c. You did good for BE.

Steve,

It was a fake breakout and you did well for a small loss...it reversed a lot very quickly...been a slow morning

Thanks Amit, in absence of Mr Charts today, that was helpful. Managed to scalp 20c on AIG early on and 12c on OVTI.

Great job Andy!

Thanks Amit - I use charttrader on IB with auto stop - it works OK.

Do you like look of CHK or do you look for a bigger move from open?


Cheers
Steve

 

[amit1986]

I haven't been in a position where I haven't put on a trade in the first half hour in a very long time...just goes to show you how choppy the markets are

CHK is good...added to my list

 

[amit1986]

WOOT! My level 2 is working properly!

 

[amit1986]

tried shorting RBCN but couldnt get a fill

 

[amit1986]

Hope you got CHK steve!

 

[amit1986]

I've been glued to RBCN that I missed a beautiful breakout on CHK

 

[evostik]

Hope you got CHK steve!

Amit

Wow CHK - I hope people were in it - I didn't get nearly what I could from it but a nice profit anyway

Cheers
Steve
