if you can short it, then do. The pump is already played, looks like.

Best of luck to you! Just keep in mind that you shouldn't be trading a stock based on their business plans. I also don't suggest trying to place a value on the company. Remember that the market can do whatever it wants (even defy logic). Be careful!

@KylanHodson Ok thanks again.

@StockTicker77 what was the fees? that is really excessive

@dsla10 I haven't logged into iBoss to see all the details yet. But they have ECN fees etc. All my trades with them have had extra fees. And I did hear that before I started, just didn't realize how much it adds up to with a small account.

does anybody have any updates on this? I am a new student and am finalizing my accoutn with virtualbrokers. Sadly my account is only about 1k canadian for now. I want to short sell but I do not have enough capital yet. So far I have been using tradingview.com for my chart analysis, stock fetcher for my scans and stockpro on my phone with potentially interactive brokers for my brokerage

Yeah could be a good short, be careful tho :)

hey i have a question, do you use etrade?

you can only have one sell order unless you divide your shares up. you can do conditional one triggers all orders and set the sell part as either a trailing stop $ and set your stop price say .06 . This will trigger a market sell if the stocks drops 6 cents at any given time. OR you could set a sell> stop limit on quote. This will enable you to select the exact price of your choosing to trigger a sell. So say you brought the stock at 1.65 and its up to 1.99 you can set a stop limit on quote sell

for say 1.94. if it drops below 1.94 it will trigger a sell order.

Hmm...what I was trying to accomplish is to combine buy and sell into a single order/transaction such that buy triggers when certain condition (limit/stop limit) is met and once buy is executed, sell conditions take over for both stop loss as well as profit above certain price - for sell order, once one condition is triggered, the other should get cancelled automatically. This is what OCO accomplishes and looks like Bracket order works in the same way.

Thanks for your response digitialbrass, much appreciated

Yep, side ways movement forming triangle...slow until Fed rate announcement on Tuesday next week. Twiddling my thumbs.

You missed the huge up on $SGMO then xD

Yea, I choose a good week to move brokers.

@Raidon Yep, also missed $AXPW cuz I have to go to work after the first few trading hours, but I've learned the hard way to only play something that I know how to play.

already priced in pre-market it seems.

Please congratulate this student, great trade with a little luck! talukdarm2369: $ENVI in @1.87 out @4.06... whoa! Dip bought 2 days ago and was looking for 10% gain only

The next trick is to find those stocls that actually will move. Mix a few of Tim's with a few of yours...

Great advice! I find myself doing the same thing and, before I know it, I've got 15 on my watchlist. WAAAAY too many to keep track of (I don't know how Tim does it, haha). Thanks for sharing with us!!

I think the key is to rank them, then keep only the best 5. Then be sure that the best 5 are even good enough to trade, because the 5 best stocks on Tuesday might all be worse than the 10 best stocks on Monday.

@RedScourge Agreed...

All driven by speculation. No one entity controls anything as much as they want to be able to. If governments controlled the market, there'd never be recessions. If business owners controlled it, no one would ever go bankrupt. If longs controlled it, stocks always would go up. It is a constant battle, like a war with ten different factions, all trying to outmaneouver the other. One can make educated guesses, and try to be accurate >51% of the time, but one cannot be right 100% of the time.

@RedScourge Well explained, we agree how many time the system battles for a bitting part of it, but trader gives that volume of concept, Predicting a road map we dont have, company needs to report Daily info, for them no to get into bankarupt.

All this market is created for a FIGHT for the right prices, Moderators need to have the rules for each game, Company with high Volume with no Cap Value, Someone need to draw a Derections to a point that if the company doesnt grow. is a penalty. MODERATORS KNOWS thier future based in thier Effort. are we agree

So there was no MSRT to short. I bought NSPH at 2.97 at 3:35 EST and it promptly slid to close at 2.87. The news seemed very positive, and moments before I bought it tested support but it passed, so I thought it was still a good long. Was I wrong, or is this drop just market makers trying to trigger stops?

Thanks so much for your words of wisdom. It's very much appreciated!

Whew, after market NSPH has climbed back to 2.89. Looks like I may have a chance to get out at a profit tomorrow morning after all!

I suspect based on this development that I may be able to sell at a slight profit or slight loss, wait for it to fall, then possibly get back in at a lower price in time for it to spike up.
