Thank you for your time to explain. I see real value in this method if executed correctly. I've set the % change to dual sort so i have long/short biggest % change. I also set a minimum volume to weed out non trending or non liquid stocks. Once the scanner filters I i just click through the...

Thanks, i will review my setup. I just couldn't find exactly your setup. For your search criteria, do you just use percentage change as an indicator and then look at volume on chart? Thanks C

Hi, Can you tell me what you use to scan for these movers? I use interactive brokers scanner same as you have and I set the criteria to movers volume within last 3mins, is this sufficient to catch these movers? I seem to get stuck in slow moving stocks. I have read the thread but not found...

This is an interesting thread.... Did you manage to find any traders?

I've downloaded there demo platform. Is it slight outdated & does it take a bit of getting used to? Also am I right in assuming that to purchase 250 CFD stocks on the NYSE this would cost $2.5 to open and 2.5$ to close? Are there any other hidden charges? Thanks C

Hi was long a stock yesterday & I was monitoring the level 2 data, from my observations I seen that all the bid orders only act as support and dont show you how many buyers are actually in the market, so the top line of the bid orders needs to be greater or building momentum in order to for the...

Hi, I need some advice. I started off trading/investing with an Irish brokerage called Davy. The are a very average brokerage, would not recommend at all. The are not DMA, and orders placed are done manually if trading on other exchanged outside of UK & Ireland - avoid, unless you want to...

One more question, I know this is not an exact science and a lot of bluff orders can enter the market but theoretically speaking if the accumulation of Ask orders is greater than Bid orders does this mean the price "should" go down if these orders are filled? Thanks C

Gentleman, thanks for explanation. I couldn't find anything online. C

Thank BigDeal, So for example the first line is ACC = 700, this is the total number of shares bid at the price opposite or better. The # which is 6 is the total number of trades bid (which adds up to a total of 700??) Size, make up of the bids. And for the line below. ACC = 3,271 is the...

Hi, I signed up for level 2 data with my broker for the NYSE, it works out a 1euro per month for realtime prices and level 2. I've been looking the market depth but I can understand what each column means. What is ACC, # & Size? Thanks for your help. Is this a proper level 2 setup, there is...

I just recently moved to saxobank, I've only been with the a couple of months. I've checked out IB since then & I think that will be my next move if my current broker is too costly. Thanks agains C

Hi, I hope this question is in the right place, if not mods remove please. Do most traders uses their own trading platforms (broker) for charting? and do most brokers charge for level 1 & level 2 information? My broker (saxobank) provides 15min delayed charts and I have to subscribe to each...

Hi, I omitted the name of the company because I didn't want it to look like I was trying to sway people as it was my first post. I wanted to short because historically after this share reached new highs due to positive financial results there is a reversal due to profit taking. I've attached...

Hi, I'm looking for validation on a trade I would like to make. This is my first "real" trade, I've made several trades before but there was no method, just blind speculation that the stock would rise. I was right in most cases but only because I held the stock in question and I checked price...
