I have traded stocks and futures and have the scorch marks to 
prove it.  I have decided on stocks because although i am a shortterm 
trader i am not a day trader [got a real job :)].  
 

>IMHO, Volume analysis is good when used with Open Interest 
and the Commitment of Traders reports.  Stochastics and Moving Averages 
will let you down and misinform you a large percentage of the time.
 
i am drawn to volume because it seems to show up so often in 
comments of those who seem to know what they talk about.  secondly volume 
(in my estimation) is not a lagging indicator.  i don't think i would be to 
wrong in classifying it as a fundatechnical indicator.  I don't use moving 
average as some do (triggered when a fast MA crosses a slow MA).  I use it 
as a signal when closing price crosses a single moving average.  
Stochastics i use for there trend direction more than the actual numeric 
value.

good for validation or verification of a market opinion however <FONT

time/price.
 
Ah, that's the kicker, isn't it?
