if you have a dpi setting on your mouse you should turn that down to the lowest setting and go from a top down view.  I always allot myself about 4 pixels on either side for stacking and go from a topdown view.  Other than that, Sage's videos are pretty much the best you can get in terms of learning.

Get Movepixel. There should be a thread about it somewhere in the Modifications section. It let's you move the mouse very precisely with your keyboard.

Don't get move pixel. I praised it long ago, but it's now only for those without a soul.

As far as tips go, yeah you can watch my video in the tutorials section.

Other helpful stuff, just know that you can check most of the possible spots you want to stack within a few seconds, and then rotate your view and try again. Don't agonize for a long time over one view.

Am stock player, can confirm.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

XD i hate to say it, but with the precision required, it seems like most stock players are robots.

My technique for stacking is to use Sage's zooming tech, rotate angles if I get no results, still get no results, and then ragequit and play DSL.
