cmon coolweb, how large are we talking in CMI? Cant be more than 500 shares. That stock is so volitile, I trade it at least 2-3 times a day and it scares the shit out of me. You cant use stops in him either cause he will crush you. Not to mention its $120+.
short large STX 19.88 being very careful here re-cover/stop @ 19.88 DIA break 112.09 and we are good for some good gains.
Sell 1/4th @ 9.37 ( +0.07) almost 1% lol To cover all my expenses + some money Rest 3/4th will ride. 9.30 stop -------------- stock is strong market is weak. Mixed feeling = sell some
Sold 1/2 @ 9.43 + 0.13 Left: 1/3 share. MARKET DOWNTREND = I am a daytrader, I take profits and never look back.
All my trades are realtime scans I scan for high volume stocks that won't fake a price action move. With high volume stocks I can scale very large or get out very quickly without slippage. this allows me to control my risk, while maximizing my gains.
Ah, OK. I use the IB screener every day but I generally use the "top % gainers" screen. TSM showed up on the "most active" screen. The thing I don't like about "most active" is that the same stocks show up every day like Intel and Oracle. Boring.
