Last night I shared with you a list of stocks that I found while scanning for setups. This is normally reserved for members of our Live Trading Room. Out of the 11 trading idea's presented 3 of them setup with no stops (four if you consider G, but I have yet to talk to anyone who got a fill in that one) XMSR long from $10.65. The stock reached a high of $11.63 for a potential gain of $0.98. (A gain of 9.2% in under an hour!) FRE long from 59.15. The stock reached a high of 59.52 for a potential gain of $0.37 AMGN short from 62.10. The stock reached a low of $60.47 for a potential gain of $1.63 over the course of the day. With three trading ideas, up to $2.98 in potential profits were generated. Not bad for a days work. Realistically a trader should expect that theycould have gotten 1/2 to 2/3 of this. Members of the RealTime trading room benefit every day from our nightly scans as well as intraday alerts, updates and education. Brandon

http://www.tradingfrommainstreet.com/img/May9PFE.gif [10:28] <brandon> PFE has just been nice and steady, so we can probably hold this one all day with the rest, maybe into Monday. [10:28] <brandon> Here is something else to note: Small Gaps Fill. When they do not, that can be a very strong signal to go with that gap. [10:29] <brandon> The reason is that with small gaps they nearly always fill, and it takes an incredible amount of strength in a stock to prevent that from happening. 10:29] <brandon> it shows you that the stock is among the strongest out there [10:29] <brandon> it generally starts right from the open [10:29] <brandon> the specialists will try to have it come in so they can cover their shorts [10:30] <brandon> with PFE, ignore that first bar [10:30] <brandon> its just some BS [10:30] <brandon> we had a small gap up in the stock [10:30] <brandon> the important thing here is that it did not fill [10:30] <brandon> it did not go anyplace right away [10:30] <brandon> but it rested well [10:30] <brandon> hold on, phone [10:30] <brandon> brb [10:32] <brandon> as the stock bases [10:32] <brandon> interest is accumulating in it [10:32] <brandon> so we had the breakout buy
