Nursebee, I see some of your trades are sub $10 stocks? Much has been written/said that things are quite different in recent times, getting fooled and filled, only when it is not to your advantage. My question is ... was it pre-2008ish when you last day traded these sub $10 stocks , and, if so, do you notice any difference? Good Luck.
The sub $10 stock yesterday traded 8M shares during the day, opening 30 min had 25-70K shares per minute. Range was 50 cents
Post mortem: I was not home. I debated opening position earlier, did so when I could. Added later confident it would go up. Missed first pop up, sold when that high taken out next peak. I fully expect that this stock is in for bullish moves if the overall market would behave, hence my willingness to go larger with position size as my margin BP increases. If the overall market had behaved better I would have considered holding longer in the day. I tracked SP500 and think it was not behaving well relative to this.
oh man, I just had a flash back. 15 years later and the memory still brings up an involuntary shudder. I was adding to my position over a few months plus buying calls as it went up. It was incredible, the trade we dream of. For awhile ... Biotech. News after after hours. Big gap down, blah, blah, blah. Wishing you better trading smarts and more restraint than I had. jas
