I hope you are not saying the more symbols you trade, the better you trade.
Some of the best traders I know only trade one market, while some of the
worst are all over the place.

Ironicly, I understand that there are guys running
several hundred high volume stocks on TS4/Dynastore/Qfeed
all with systems and STCC's. Of course, QCharts is just
a little freebie add-on, but it has some cool scanning tools for us still on
the lower rungs of the evolutionary ladder ;)....and data on demand if TS
crashes.
