<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Good evening Real Traders,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>I'm trying to get a feel for trading systems, as I have 
never used one.&nbsp; Who among you uses a system and why do you need to rather 
than just read charts?&nbsp; Who used to use a system and went back to 
discretionary trading?&nbsp; Is it possible to use a combination of 
both?</FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Metastock allows me to test systems, but it seems different stock patterns 
respond better to different systems. And different systems respond better with 
different optimizations.&nbsp; How on earth would you know which one to apply to 
a stock that catches your eye?&nbsp; Hindsight is wonderful, but it's real money 
I'm committing.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>If it sounds like I'm going in circles, it's because I am.&nbsp; After 18 
months of discretionary trading I'm still trying to put it all together for some 
consistent results.&nbsp; Consistent is the keyword.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again to all so kind to respond!</DIV>
<DIV>Linda</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Was with ZAP Futures for a month. Leo Web was 
down about 30% of the time. You could bet if it was a big day up or down Leo was 
going to crash. Been with PMB almost a month and no problems. They have their 
own proprietary system that is NOT dependent on Leo web. Good 
trading.</FONT></DIV>

The 50 point 5 min bar on the 15th seems to have eliminated the ability or the
will to sell this market beyond a perfunctory scalp, the result of either mass
financial castration of those previously inclined or the paralyzing effects of
post traumatic stress syndrome.  Indeed, the close that day appears to have
been anointed with a significance beyond its due.  Fascinating situation.  Is
it considered inefficient when one side of the market is scared sh--less to
act?   Mark Douglas, where are you when we need you?
