Questions from readers- Monitors, Chart Stacking, and Chart Selection for Day Traders

This one is from ZenProfit.   I kind of get these same questions on StockTwits etc, so I figured I’d use this.

How is your trading monitor(s) set up?
– I use one monitor now.  The other two I use for YouTube and Twitter … gets boring sometimes.
Do you have these charts stacked one over the other?
-Yes
How do you decide which chart(s) to put on your monitor(s) on any one day?
-I usually make a post the evening before outlining my strategy or what I’m expecting to trade.  Whatever I cover there is what stocks I’ll watch intraday. I strongly suggest people use this approach.  It’s a waste of time to search for stocks during the day, so I’d rather be prepared and let the trade come to me.  But by default, I’ll always have SPX DJI NDX, VIX, and FAZ/FAS stacked on the hourly.  I also have TradeIdeas program running, but I use that to screen for higher-volume moves in sectors.

Hope this helps!
