I've been working on some overnight long strategies since when I starting actually trading again I will be starting with a small account which makes it difficult but not impossible to short sell. So I wanted to learn a long strategy and short strategy that I'm good at and just focus on those two types of plays.
So here's the break down of the trade. Using the STT paper trading program (which I'm still trying to figure out) I bought it right where the blue arrow is because i cant figure out how to get yesterdays arrows to show up. My thought process was that I had held most of its gains it was up on good news and it was the first green day. I sold it right before the market open at $1.40 because I wasn't sure if it would spike or dip, it is after all, a down trending stock. I am not so concerned that the stock actually did spike but that my thought process leading up to the buy as correct.
Don't mind the attempted short at the morning spike, that is another experimental trade that I got to scared to stay in so I covered with a .02 cent gain.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! Happy trading!

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!
