    I'm trying to figure which stocks would be better for intraday scalping/momemtum trading with 3000-5000 shares lot.
    Requirements for stocks:
    1.Liquidity - at least 5 mil shares a day but no more than 20 mil,
    2.Volatility - nice intraday range,
    3. Price - $7.00 - 27.00.

    I know that I could look for this info on nasdaq site but I'd prefere to hear what people think.
    What are your favourites?

    P.S. I trade NVDA for the last 2 month and I like it but sometimes it does nothing - there's where my question's come from.

    You should

    1. Only trade through a Prop firm,preferably Bright
    2. Trade listed NYSE
    3 Use MOO orders
    4. Do some pair trading to jack up commissions

  5. Also you might try msft,qcom,ebay,erts,expe,klac and qlgc.
     
  6. KLAC
    QLGC
    MXIM
    NVLS
    CCMP (spreads can vary on this one - be careful)

    Don't worry about price - the above will be within 7.00-27.00 before long :D
     
  7. I vote for QLGC also.
     
  8. Run a filter on any decent software system-it will spit out all the stocks you asked for.
     
  9. CCMP can be a real ride, sometimes moving 3 points in 1 day as opposed to a point or so with the others. But I won't pay that f**cken 20-cent spread that many times shows up.
