Hes right!! This is the way, as long as you set a stop because a short can go ‘long’ to infinity faster then you can mechanically get out so set an * auto* stop or hit market buy to get out at high of day or lower depending on your entry because by the time you try to get out using bid or ask with price rising at a parabolic speed you could owe millions on a short trade gone wrong. Also many forget to mention TAKE profits or chase down with a stop never hold *100% back to break even, you will never go broke taking profits rather than holding everything for a most often failed home run

beginning traders, start out with $5k, limit loss (using stop limit orders) on each trade to $50 (1% times $5k), that way you can make 100 trades (100 trades times $50 equals $5k) and learn the process of trading before you run out of money (assumes no profitable trades, which is highly unlikely). make sure your risk:reward ratio is at least 1:2, your target profit should be at least twice your possibly stop limit order loss. 3:1 is always better. example 1: risk losing $50 with stop limit order: target profit of at least $100. example 2: risk losing $100 with stop limit order: target profit of at least $200.

Does it need to be gapping up 50% or more during pre or at the open for you to consider? Only asking cause it it touches HOD pre-market and say it’s +50% at HOD, then it fades till it opens (thus less than 50%), is that still good to trade according to the strategy (considering it goes up or near HOD at the open?)

[RaoVenu]

How to calculate stock gapping percentage? Is there a formula for it?
