Love of one is a barbarianism; for it is exercised at the expense of all others. The love of God, too. Here is how I trade for profit: take what you want, leave the rest behind. I only trade in the last 100 minutes of the trading day. I ride the trend of trending Naz stocks. I take one position, 1000 shares. I base my entry on the NAZ futures/composite to get a feel. I use basic chart formations (pennants, flags, triangles) as my entry. I ride at least 45 minutes, or until my stop has been hit. My stop is always 10-20 cents. I NEVER BREAK 20 CENTS, however, stops are based on intraday resistance. I shoot for a point, but I shall ride the trend until the end (trailing stop of twenty cents.) I have no problem re-entering positions I have closed for a loss. I only look at highly volatile stocks: last week: QLGC, GNSS, EBAY, MXIM. Always look at intraday support and resistance. Oh yes, and volume to confirm breakout/downs. "I have done that," says my memory, "I cannot have done that," says my pride, and remains inexorable.
