Thanks for the kind words re the webinar, I'm glad it helped.

I like cybertrader for daytrading, and I have IB (interactivebrokers) for swings, though I may change. Let me know if you all find any major broker that's better than cyber or IB, thanks...

Point range, I like to see stocks at least a 5 point range on a 10-day chart, which means I primarily like stocks at least $50-$70/share (since I like a 10% range minimum on the 10-day chart) to consider it a volatile-enough stock, on volume of at least 1.1-1.5M shares/day average. I like using stockcharts.com to do scans for swing trades (mostly 52-week high/lows, though I often look for moves in stocks like BIDU/GOOG/SHLD/RIMM/AAPL as well).

Great question - thanks!
