I was watching the premarket price of $1.70 and left my desk at work for 10 minutes to come back to a price of $2.72. I was wanting to buy at $1.70. I buy what I thought to be a dip at $2.50 premarket looking for a morning spike and the spike didn't come till 10:10 market time. after being down to $2.15 I cut losses in the sideways struggle of $2.25 price action. NOTE: NEVER CHASE LARGE SPIKES.

After the morning spike and profit on 8/1/16 $TOPS showed strength all day. Held key support levels toward the end of day. I bought into 5 minutes to market close to hold O/N. It spiked premarket and a little more at the open.I sold some at $8.00 on the way to the top of $8.30. Then it dropped to support around $7.30. it fought back to $7.50 where I sold more thinking it was a dip to new highs and then sold the rest at $7.60 when the stock didn't feel to have the strengthen need for a nhod.

Earnings winner that showed good price and volume action pre-market. I should have bought pre-market at double bottom price of $3.76. The stock rocketed out of the gate on open and I was looking for a $5.00 strong break before getting in. However, I felt as though this trade was a bit of a chase on my part.
