Sherwin, so you shorted sometime in August 06? Just trying to analyze how you guys trade. Thanks.

Tina, if you want to have an idea how we do it real time, get the following:
1. skype - we use this to chat while trading. Dito mo makikita mga action namin.
2. amibroker/metastock - keep the charting software open to see the chart to see where we're supposed to be making a move.
3. advfn.com - register for free for monitoring the price action of the indices and selected stocks. Delayed sya ng 20 minutes pero better than nothing.

If you want to try your hand in trading the US market, we have the virtual stock exchange. It's not the same thing of course, but it's the closest thing.

Master, I have a few questions:
1. is there a monthly charge for skype? I'm really new at this, haven't actually tried chatting :oops: so not sure how this thing works.
2. on amibroker, do you have live charts/quotes or can I just update my charts a day before?
3. I have Reuters in the house. Do I still need to register at advfn.com??

Skype is free to download and chat. It's also free for pc to pc phone calls (meaning skype to skype). It's calling other phones thru skype that has a charge. Di naman tayo ganun. My ID in skype is bonnerdytoc.

Just update your chart even a few hours before the market opens.

I forgot you have reuters. Forget advfn, realtime pa yung reuters mo.

Do you need to pay for the Reuters subscription?

Yep.
