Thanks for the input.&nbsp; I don't use trailing stops since I've never liked 
pure percentage stops.&nbsp; However, I'll tighten stops if we get any up 
move.&nbsp; Thanks!</FONT></DIV>

    V4.72.3155.0<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; All,<BR>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
    What a week!&nbsp; I was stopped out of my DELL position Monday.&nbsp; Then 
    all H... broke loose Thursday.&nbsp; I looked at the charts hard Thursday 
    night and as I said in my Friday post, thought that we had just experienced 
    a blow-off bottom.&nbsp; Only time will tell if that's true or not, but let 
    me expand on my thinking a little bit.&nbsp; A classic blow-off bottom is 
    one in which the market reaches new lows on extraordinary high volume, lots 
    of new lows are reached, and everyone is extremely negative and the market 
    recovers rapidly from there.&nbsp; Looking at the first condition, it's true 
    that the DJIA didn't reached new lows but instead bounced off the bottom of 
    it's Horizontal Channel (HC).&nbsp; However, the DJIA just represents 30 
    stocks, not the market.&nbsp; All the broad market indices did reach new 
    lows on the third highest volume day in history.&nbsp; There were over 2200 
    new lows on the NASDAQ and over 1200 new lows on the NYSE.&nbsp; The 
    put/call ratio was at a multiyear high.&nbsp; Analyst's were 
    droppin!<BR>!<BR>g their earnings estimates and bearish sentiment was 
    high.&nbsp; To me the evidence supported that Thursday was a blow-off 
    bottom.&nbsp; The question then, was what to 
    do?<BR>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I decided to take a position in 
    well know former market leaders that were still in a Short Term Down Trend 
    Channel (STDTC).&nbsp; However, since they were still in a STDTC, I would 
    protect myself with a close stop under the Thursday low and take a position 
    only half my normal size.&nbsp; Then when/if they broke out of the STDTC, 
    I'd double my position size.&nbsp; The stocks I picked were America On Line 
    (AOL), Dell Computer (DELL), CitiGroup (CCI - the newly merged combination 
    of Traveler's Group and CitiBank), and MicroSoft (MSFT).&nbsp; I opened a 
    position in each Friday morning.&nbsp; That left me with long stock 
    positions in AOL, CCI, DELL, EGGS, MSFT, NR, and SCH as well as the old TRV 
    LEAPS which have been converted to CCI 
    LEAPS.<BR>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Monday I'm going to add the 
    other half of the CCI position which did break out of its STDTC 
    Friday.&nbsp; Some of the others are also close to the top of their STDTCs 
    and I'll be adding to those positions when/if they break out during the 
    week.&nbsp; I also want to add another Fallen Angel, Christmas Special, or 
    whatever you want to call the low priced beaten down stocks.&nbsp; I 
    narrowed my selection to Cypress Semi (CY), Labor Ready Inc. (LBOR), and 
    Oxford Health (OXHP) and finally decide on CY mainly because I also had a MS 
    buy signal for it.<BR>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CCI at 35.4375 
    bounced off the bottom of a long term up trend channel Thursday and gapped 
    up on good volume to break out of a STDTC Friday.&nbsp; Based on performa 
    data, it hit an all time high just under 70 on 4/6/98 then fell back and 
    moved up again to set a double peak just under 70 again on 7/21/98.&nbsp; 
    From there it went into free fall to a low of 28 1/2 on Thursday, but closed 
    4 points higher.&nbsp; So Thursday and Friday were both up days on good 
    volume.&nbsp; The Binary Wave Composite just turned positive and QStick is 
    still negative but rising.&nbsp; The fundamentals are great with a PE of 
    11.8, price/sales of 0.89, ROE of 19%, Debt/equity of 1.46, and annual sales 
    growth of 72% and earnings growth of 33%.&nbsp; I'll add to my position 
    Monday and leave my stop at 27 3/4 for now.&nbsp; I'll change my stop to 
    just under the new Short Term Up Trend Channel (STUTC) just as soon as we 
    get enough data to construct one.<BR>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CY 
    at 8.4375 is in a Horizontal Channel (HC) with the top at 11 and the bottom 
    at 5 1/2.&nbsp; It hit a 52 week high of almost 19 on 9/5/97 then fell from 
    there to a low of 5 1/2 on 9/1/98.&nbsp; From there it rose to break out of 
    its Intermediate Term Down Trend Channel in mid Sep and hit a peak of a 
    little over 9 at the end of September.&nbsp; It then fell to a low of 8.625 
    on Thursday and rose to its current position Friday.&nbsp; I got a MS6.5 
    Tema PV Binary Wave, QStick buy signal a little over a week ago.&nbsp; The 
    fundamentals aren't as good on this one but that's to be expected.&nbsp; The 
    price/sales is at 1.48, the debt/equity&nbsp; at 0.32.&nbsp; Earnings are 
    negative and sales have dropped.&nbsp; The good news is that the worst might 
    be over and the sales drop has flattened.&nbsp; I'll open a long position 
    Monday.&nbsp; I'll set the target at 18, just under last years high and, for 
    now, will set the stop at 7 1/2 which was the reaction low just prior to 
    breaking out of the ITDTC.&nbsp; If we get a move above 9 3/8, 
    I'!<BR>!<BR>ll construct a new STUTC and set the low just under 
    it.<BR>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I'll send copies of the CCI and CY 
    GIF charts to everyone on the email list.&nbsp; If you aren't on the list 
    and want on, just yell.<BR>&gt;&nbsp; <BR>&gt; JimG</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>

Of the people using Metastock RT and Nasdaq Level II quotes for daytrading;
what software are you using for the Nasdaq Level II tracking and trade
ordering?   There seems to be numerous packages on the market.  I personally
am looking for a package to initiate trades via the internet.

Any feedback on these packages (good, bad, pricing and internet URL) would
be appreciated.

thanks in advance,

Ed Middleton
