I do use the etrade US (beside lately having some problem) I find very good and top platform etc.... but because of the above (closing UK) I think I might change the USA one.... financially they are not very solid!!!!

I use Zecco in the US. Cheap commission and sometimes 10 free trades per month if you make 25 trades.
SanMiguel thanks for the info,,,in order not to clutter this thread with O/T I have reply on another thread (see the link)

hello Dr.Blix
I have been busy so didn't had a lot time for trading (beside got problem with the trading brokers... looking for an alternative... difficult to open trading acc. abroad) and tomorrow I will fly back to England, it is too sunny here!!! lol
yes I am still holding my UK one and PXS till it double (wishful thinking) IMO every January we have a retrace so this year could be even more marked due to the economy but I am a positive person.... of course I wont let them go under my "mental" SL the margin is thinning out though
take care

Hey up Dr B...Sorry for not popping by since new yr mate..hope everything's buzzing on the Smallcap front and you are banking the profits
I have taken a step back from equities, concentrating only on FX..I have been testing different strategies with various timeframes.
When I have had the time..I have actively traded the smaller tf's..mainly 5 min and had a modicum of success followed by a modicum of failure..lol.
I have decided that the smaller tf's are not worth the stress and not my style...all you are doing is trading noise...overtrading, trying to catch every minor swing high & low.
But...the longer tf has proved, for me anyhoo, to be the way to go...(Daily - 4hr - 1hr),
keeping it simple...having the patience to wait for price to reach good levels of S/R & pivots (Sbr/Rbs)....all you need is a horizontal line on the chart to make money.
Have a look at cable on a 4 hr chart...I bagged 50 pips this morning by having the patience to wait and see if price was going to retest and react at the bottom of the prior Range/Channel....approx 1.6070 level...I bailed out at the 6000 level...which has now broke and price is still heading South as I write...I am still a scaredy - cat, when it comes to running profits..lol.
Anyway mate, it's a work in progress...but i'll stick with FX for now and see how it pan's out.
Good trading Blixey
PS...Draw a line across from the low of 21 Jan on Eur/Usd...see what price did there this morning

Any smallcaps really or FTSE 100 shares.
Still wondering about MKS as it had a nice trendline bounce and 200MA bounce but now seems to have negated that with Thursday & Friday's move.

Speaking of which, what would be some useful things to look for in a stock screener?
There are various freebie software products out there now and this seems a good way to scan through many stocks.
Volume, valuation, profitability, price, etc.
P/E, near lows or highs, etc.
