I placed my order above the market on ISLD since the stock was gapping up to see if the market would come to me and it BARELY did then gappped back down. I was very fortunate on that trade to get out when and where I did.
Sure...buy QCOM before the market opens. Actually I didn't post any but I'll have something together in a few...
But Nasdaq you can short on a downtick after the close or before the open at a price lower or higher from the close?
Much like last week the market is set for another weak opening. The real test will come later today. If we get a sell off this afternoon the likelihood of a climactic sell off early next week would further increase the probability of a short-term bottom. On the other hand, a late day rally, similar to last week, would signal continued choppiness for the near term. Two Dow Stocks to watch are Merck and Johnson & Johnson. Both have formed large tops and broke significant support level on Wednesday and rallied in yesterday's down market. Unless they continue to show strength in the next few days there is a serious down side risk for these two stocks.
Glad you came back and said that you were lucky because when I looked at the chart I thought, this guy is either 100x luckier than I've ever been or he's paper trading. I would rather be lucky than good.
