I don't use Tony's scanner, but I'm still in trades from yesterday. Today was another awesome day to hold onto swing trades. Of course the last...
Ah, forgot about the reason the boards here! That makes sense.
I know this may keep people from coming to the boards, but what if in the email alerts you included the most recent post in the text of the email?...
