It's just a trade. They sold off hard, bounced back some, then the Whitney interview tanked them again but they didn't make new lows and seemed...
I've never heard of Madscan
Depends on the strategy. Some stuff I'm very careful in my news analysis, some I don't care at all. My 'assistant' is another trader whom I've...
To answer the above questions: After this last week I'll provide some stats for the year. I haven't used Stockfetcher. I think Trade Ideas...
