@Kody actually yes. I watched these a few months ago and completely forgot they existed. Thank you! It's much appreciated

@williammorris16 Yeah, thank you. I guess it does really come down to being a new trader. 1. my confidence isnt great 2. Im not properly planning before trades. Thank you for the help.

I miss dozen of them a day. You can’t trade them all and you need accept the idea your eyes can’t be everywhere. If you miss trades on stocks you are watching closely then its another problem : you might have the fear to pull the trigger when things are setting up. That means you’re most likely not prepared enough. Prepare your trades more. If the things you’re looking for are lining up, you shouldn’t be hestitating. Try visualization. Be in the trade even before it actually happens. Good luck

don't focus on what you've missed. that'll destroy you. focus on opportunities.

Having a plan will help. I had the same problem and got pissed off i kept missing opportunities so i wrote this blog: http://profit.ly/user/TradeSmall?id=2713354

BONT entry u had is great. Dont worry, you sell tomorrow into strength for good return, it should break above .80 tomorrow easily

@DannoCaber yea, I'm finding after thinking about it, maybe it won't be so bad to have to wait. It was end of day and after hours it was trading higher. I'm thinking that the news will spread more overnight and if i'm even lucky enough have a gap up.

Dip buying is great strategy, one of Tims favorites, however it can go badly too. for example AKTX was amazing long today, I wish I was in it from the start, CUR had some small good action, but need to be quick in & out. A lot has to do with getting a good watchlist down to maybe 5 tickers & watch all at opening the volume interest & direction, then not hesitate too long before getting into your long or shorts tickers you have on your watch list. with long bias its more straight forward, but

with shorts you need a broker who has shares available regularly in low price arena, but in future u may add that to take advantage of both sides.

Thank you for all the responses! I did look for a resistance point but not from the previous day. I wne to the 1 year chart and found an area of support and resistance at $1.04. Maybe i need work identifying these levels? I have been paper trading shorts and have been doing really well with. Unfortunately my account is still under $1000 so i cant short yet. How is etrade with short supply?

Im studying and researching the arts of dip buying myself and all i can tell you is look for major resistance and support levels from different time frames. If your intention is to dip buy a morning panic, wait for the stock to pull back from the panic and see if it starts to make higher lows off of the pullback. If the stock begins to uptrend you can enter into one of those higher lows and use the low of the day as your risk level. Of course use your own due dilligence because i havent entered

It was 2nd day you couldn't of known whether it would morning spike. The fact is that when you have over 20X avg volume in the first half an hour its hard for this not spike this stock does not have a good spiking history so if you had got a morning spike that would be nice but somewhat unpredictable

@Scott_PaperTrader_legit What would be some indicators that it would spike the second day? I've been trying to figure that out for while and can't seem to get it.

Mainly just past spikes on the same stock with volume and seeing if they have been able to be 2 day runners

@Scott_PaperTrader_legit cool, I'll keep a look out for those runners with a past. Thank you!

Good that You have found out that You are better at shorting than going long - that means You are analyzing your plays ! Keep up The studying

no you can only seperate real trades from paper trades though you can leave a screenshot to validate a paper trade
