But, after watching my buddies play with them, I'm itching to get one.
btw - if any of you use a mac and the terminal/command line, I've written some scripts to do things like sort lists of tickers - say from IBD screens - to get into stockcharts.com, made a script to calculate profit and loss, risk/reward that's so much faster to use than a calculator or online calculator.. so if you want, I can copy and paste them in here. If the iPhone has a terminal then you could use it on your phone....
ie. input:
>rr2 0.39 0.60 0.34 1000
(where rr2 is the program name, 0.39 is your entry, 0.60 is your target, 0.34 is your stop loss, and 1000 is the dollar amount you are investing) - (can you guys guess the stock, haha?)
output:
gain 53.8462%
gain $524.462
exit amount $1524.46
loss -12.8205%
loss $-142.205
exit amount $857.795
reward/risk 3.68806
( I have it set up to automatically do $7 commissions - but the script can be edited - I need to make a version that does the extra charge I get for stocks under a buck)
anyway, I"ll share them.
