Nice stock list. I'm using tos as well after yahoo finance, what filters do you recommend to use to scan for the stocks.

I usually look for stocks that are up at least 15%. There are some exceptions to this obviously. I also look for at least 200k volume on the day with max of about 2 mill (again the max volume depends on several different factors), with a price of 1 dollar to about 15ish dollars

If I am scanning through out the day I will look for stocks that are up about 4%+ in attempt to capture the move before it is over.

I thought you were going to say just go start another trading account with 3 more trades...lol This was a great Blog. Very Very true and well said. In fact, I create my own list every morning but Ive been swayed more than once to enter something else from the chat room. Just jump in and ALWAYS the wrong move. I tend to get in to late on those. So I'll stick to my plan as you said !!! Awesome Post !!

Jules: Yeah, gotta stick to your plan. I mean like today,it doesn't hurt to take a look at MCUR but still have to be disciplined and not chase things. Determine if there is anything left in the trend and wait for a pullback. Don't buy at resistance, buy on the move back up to it for potential breakout. Opposite for shortys...

I notice that is the TOS platform, what method do you use to buy the stock more easy, using the active trader tab, or going through the normal buy button? (of course using limit order)

Not my question, but couldn't help myself to say I use the active trader tab and love how easy it is to use especially the flatten button to get out of a trade in an instant!!! Love it!!

I'm with IB and use TOS for charts. I think I have something like $25 in my TOS account to keep it active...
