Are you lurking out there?
I could actually write a little script to keep track.
Which reminds me, someone said they were using a mac... here's that script I wrote that gives you a quick on the fly % gain/loss, $ gain/loss, risk/reward answer on the fly using the command line:
Note, I called it rr2 (for risk reward too, can see that in the example line) - also it factors in a $7 trade (or $14 round trip in commissions) - so just change the number 14 below to whatever your commissions are - since we are dealing with pennies, the commissions are often more complex - ie. a percentage of the trade for some platforms - so just guestimate. I find it real handy if I have a few minutes before close and don't have the time to plug the stuff into a calculator - online or a real calculator.
Actually, for the "game" - I can use the output of that little program I suppose, but you can also use an excel spread sheet - if you're interested Bill, just pm me, and I can email you a spread sheet set up. I set up a spread sheet to already to track some additional stats from that game. I wanted to see how many of my trades won quickly, and how much I would have made only using $1000 per trade. Ah crap - but to get the numbers into the spreadsheet for the online game, I had to hack another script... the columns on that game aren't all across the page, so it took some hacking.
Here's the other script for risk/reward, etc.

Ok -
I printed 50 charts - man - lot tougher than the chartgame.
I can see a whole new obsession starting.
btw -
I can't remember if I mentioned how I liked the stochastics being in phase for a rebound on the BCLE 60 min - it looks like a turnaround at the same low as before, have a doji on the daily and just need to get a confirmation candle tomorrow (today) - I'd rather see the low at 0.0175 than lower... even if we were to move higher, I think its more positive stopping here.

Ok - I got to go home - I'm gonna lose it all if I don't start waking up before the market closes.
I looked up whether a corrective part of an elliot wave can be even ie. the "C" even with the "A" - and it ends up, the criteria are on the money just about... for that to happen, you want the "B" to be close to the "A", which is what happened - so we are online for elliot wave/reverse symmetrical triangle tea leaf analysis - just a note to anyone reading this, this is only for my own sick enjoyment of over analyzing patterns that aren't really there...
It takes some editing to put the letters into a new chart - so I'll just reshow the previous chart for my own psychoticness - just add in the recent candles...

how come when i google maps satellite 1370 Hurontario St., Mississauga, Ontario (mglg's office?) it comes up w/ nothing?
it's actually prolly an hour and a bit away from my house... if it is actually there..
ahhh can't decide, 50% bcle and 50% mglg or 100% mglg
think nows a good time for both? it seems like it, they both went down last week.
if i say 350000 shares (and don't think all or none) whts the chances tht i'll get all 350,000?
what u think of ocnf in the 1.20's bill? id love to get it lower but i dont know if it can, although everything in the market seems to be going lower these days.
and don't click all or none*
Many indices are sitting right on support levels - alcoa reports today to open earnings season - if there is a break down, you'll get your 1.20's - as the support line there is 1.20, so it should at get to just about there at minimum if the market tanks - could go lower too.. I just looked at a default chart -Quote:

that's DOW futures - head and shoulders - just sitting there waiting for the reports to come out.
Sean,
You will get them all, eventually. It will just come in lots of 50k, or whatever is for sale at the time. also, i think you should drive over to MGLGs office and see whats cookin.
