Since my original post, I have found that not all platforms have an acitivation rule you can set on a trade. Also I have chaged my trading strategy by using Options on a position. For day trading it is not pratical unless you really know the direction of your equity and you get in based on the overall direction of the market. I.E. you are going to trade RIMM, and its trading at 44.70 and you believe it is going to continue to fall, so I would get in on a 5 min chart, overall market is up, I would buy an 45 call option for 30 cents and set my stop loss at 45 with activiation rule. If I am wrong, I lose 30 cents but my option is making me money if Rimm reverses and goes up. If you hold it for longer than a day, and it gaps up you close one position with some loss, and let the other run.

Thanks SIUYA, I am working on a reverse engineering of a news letter that has made some ETF statements on Silver and Oil.. your site may save me more time than yahoo, but also I have used yahoo checking my IRA stocks and now have a whole new perspective!! You guys rock.

I use a method that is based on Activation Rule, it can be set at <=, <, =>, > it does not show up to the market makers, and is based on the stock price, so if the "flash" hits It will get me out at market price on the first trade that is posted. ie I have it set at 23.34 and it drops and post at 23.02 my market order executes, yes not a great system but saves it from getting out at $1.00. Again as everyone says, know your system and your broker.

FREE too thanks so much, never knew Yahoo had exactly what I was looking for!!! :thumbs up:

Ok somewhat new here... please no flames. but I did a search first Is there a way to search and show all the ETF's that a stock could exist in? ie XOM is in several ETF's but how many? I have tried Morningstar and Bloomberg.. FINVIZ but ... you end up having to open each ETF and see what stock is in it.. too long and time consuming.. Ideas? Web sites? Thanks from a new guy.
