O.K. you guys got me hooked! Read Toni Turner's "Biginner's Guide To Day Trading Online" and now need some good moving stocks to watch to try to learn to read these candlestick charts. My old long term stocks move like snails on these charts. mss's PCX has been great to watch & I added FCX, so if you can suggest any others please help. Also, thank you to people like NAV and the others that try to post their trades realtime, it is a great help to try and see what they might be looking at. I do not trade with you but I sure am leading the cheering section for you! :cheer: :cheer: Thanks for all your help, you guys have been great to this beginner. JDJ

Want fast moving high beta? Watch BIDU,GOOG, and lately, SKF. As for EWAVE, the QQQQ's seem to count well on small time frames. Good luck to you.

want volatile.....try this List
i'd only pay attention to the most liquid (avg volume * price to get total $ volume)....too thinly traded and the "floor" tends to get removed from time-to-time

marketneutral,

Great list, I won't even watch anything that trades less a million shares daily. A couple of friends got taught a rough lesson trading those thinly traded issues.

Thanks

Support, resistance, volume.

Ted Burge has some good stuff: LINK

Jack Chan is my favorite for a very simple style: LINK

American Bulls is informative but you will notice that their method works better on some stocks & indices than others and during trends.
