Yes, I do. Thank you for your explanation. So you have a more of a Buddhist way of investing? Being in a particular frame of mind and all?

You have mentioned about your chart reading abilities and the knowledge you have about interpreting data, graphical or in a table. Is this knowledge/ability the same as provided by the person you are referring to?

Sorry, I missed your post. Seems like we both posted it at the same time. I've sent you a PM.

Thank you hhi for your reply. I had read that page before, but unfortunately it doesn't provide clarification about the questions I had. In short, can I use my entire trading power at the beginning of the day over and over again, provided that I sell what I buy using my trading power. And how...
