Aim small miss small got to trade like a sniper. Be very meticulous on all your trades. Five keys to trading only the best stocks: 1) Check for biggest % gainers and other scans for the hottest low priced stocks. Before during after market hours. 2) Out of the biggest % gainers looks at the news what caused it. (Earning/contract/billionaire? Or Pump?) 3) Stay out of the biggest % gainers without news – usually ignore.

VanJul 26, 17 6:41 AM

4) Plan your trade before the market opens. Uses tools to prepare you and help you analyse the trade before getting in. 5) Don’t be looking to trade, let the trade come to you. Play the high odds stocks with good indicators and then rinse and repeat. Practice trading even when you are not in a trade, always looks to optimize and refine!
