You can change the time period on your trading account so it does not time out on you so fast. Each broker has a different place to do that so if you can't find it call them.;-)
Thank you so much for all of that travelbuff. It's excellent advice. I'll be getting my stockcharts subscription on Nov. 1st (so I don't have to pay for Oct.) and will be familiarizing myself with the environment as much as possible between then and the Monkinar.
I'm going to spend time learning a bit about candles as well.
Thanks again... didn't feel it was long winded at all and any other insights you may feel like adding would be greatly appreciated.
This:
"It would be nice to have a video of the actual live chart during the basic class so newbies like me could actually have seen what it would actually look like once you left the class. Seeing static charts can be very deceiving since hind sight is always 20/20. The actual thing is quite different."
might be a great thing to bring up to Mel or Monk as a suggestion. I can see were it would be greatly helpful.
Also, it might be nice if your post was made a sticky! :)
Thanks TB99, I appreciate the heads up on prep for a Monkinar. Valuable info for gaining the most from the class. Going to my 1st in Chi-town and need to come home with all the Knowledge I can. Thanks for your interest and concern.
