Matt, have you considered TradingView platform? It seems to offer excellent charting, quotes, etc. Just curious as I'm looking to change from StockCharts to something a bit more user friendly.

    I have an an account

    I have an an account at Trading view but there is NO WAY it can be used to replace our newsletters the way we have Stockcharts actually integrated into our server - I showed this on the Zoom meeting a couple times.  It's what enables us to build newsletters quickly with 50 -80 charts.  If we had to do that manually by saving screen shots of the charts and loading them into the newsletter it would add 2 - 3 hrs at least.  We do NOT save chart images from Stockcharts and post them here like you guys do. We literally just click a button to add a chart to the newsletter or trading community.  Also we have 1000's and 1000's of charts and many custom indicators that are not available there or would take months and years to re create. 

    again for you guys Trading View is awesome, but for building newsletters, Stockharts is better

    Matt- did you notice the

    i have trading view... its great but i think trendspider is the best 

    thanks, I have not heard

    thanks, I have not heard of them. But then again I have enough damn software at this point coming out my eyeballs:  Stockcharts for the newsletters, Trading View, Tradestation, Ninja Trader, TS 2000 etc and way too many brokers: IB, Tradestation, AMP futures, Think Or Swim, Etrade Pro, Fidelity,

    for me I'm trying to narrow things down.  Having this website actually hurts Steve and I from a focus standpoint. Steve used to be a member - all he did was use the newsletter for trade ideas and some market stuff, then setup his alerts and quote lists at night and focus on those the next day.  now both him and I are pulled in every direction from trading to posting stuff, managing multiple accounts, also analyzing markets, commodities, precious metals and tons of trade ideas.

    the best traders out there laser focus on something and have a strategy they stick to.  Be a specialist not a jack of all trades. Whether that's focusing on a 2/3 or a handful of trade ideas only or even only doing trade ideas that have coils only.  focusing only on precious metal stocks, focusing only on the indexes.  Or even focusing on a few pet stocks so you really know how they trade: One guy here trades MSFT and has a system for trading it. For me I like to trade coil stock patterns and tight flag patterns.  I also like to day trade ES futures and I have a system for it

    Matt, I have no idea

    Matt, I have no idea how you do all the things you do and I admire you for accomplishing all you do. You are pulled in so many directions. I can't help but believe that you and Steve will have to add more members to your team over time. I am not a trader. I manage about $250 million of assets primarily for one client family. I use a lot of technical analysis in my work and have plenty of resources to help me. I stumbled across you guys several years ago and have always been impressed. You do really great work that I always find extremely insightful and reliable. 


    Totally agree.. all my money

    Totally agree.. all my money this year I made only on TSLA AMZN SHOP and rest was all small positive between the wins and losses

    I"m glad you said this.

    I"m glad you said this.  TSLA, SHOP and TWLO represent my wins for this year.  Everything is just noise albeit positive overall.  I'm new to trading, so is it that way all the time?  I don't necessarily think its easy.
