More Monday Madness. And Charts!!

I've got the charts working! Woohoo!

here's a good thing that happened today:






HET got a buyout offer. Who knows if it will stick or not, and the price came back down to the bottom of the day's range. I tossed it for a nice gain.

I lost a couple today. First up is DRYS:






It broke down yesterday and stopped out today. Bummer.

Lost WIRE today too:






Luckily I had my stop probably too tight at 34.50, but it worked out today.

Opened a couple new positions in my trading account. Short FLS and Long PPS:








Both have nice tight stops. In hindsight, I'd like for PPS to have a faster trend, but it isn't bad at all over 2%/month.

Alright, I'm using Quotetracker for my charting and portfolio monitoring. I am really liking that thing. I'm using the free version at the moment, but with the free scanning I use at clearstation combined with this, I think I'll punt TC2000 and pay the small fee for Quotetracker.

I saw on the Quotetracker front page today that TD Ameritrade has just bought the product. Hopefully they'll leave it alone/improve it. Clearstation was bought by etrade a few years ago and they've left it alone. Very useful tool.

I'm taking snapshots of the Quotetracker chart and uploading to my Photobucket account. Photobucket is another free and useful tool. It stores photos and makes it real easy to upload to sites such as this one. I believe it is the biggie for myspace users. I don't do the myspace thing (yes, I'm the one), but I understand photobucket is heavily used there. Here, too, you can pay a small fee for much more utility. I think $25/year gets you in good. Not bad.

That's all. Good luck tomorrow!
