Half hour later 5.94, OK, How?

I exited at 5.46 around noon. I'm trading a new strategy and taking my winnings - not holding for more than a day and running to the next one. Yes, TTNP did wind up hitting 5.98 - but I'll take my winnings and find the next popper.
I'll take 2% each day hopefully - some might run higher, others maybe not - but I take my winnings. 2% is my exit strategy - set it and forget it. Great when you're on the golf course!

Great job, congrats
*******************
I meant to ask, what % of initial 5K is each position?
I have been working with my wifes small IRA, and with conservative position size, the commissions are eating up a good percentage of the profit.

100% goes into each one. Risky, I know - but like you said anything below that you get basically nothing in return.
The issue is trying to get in and out of some of these lower volume stocks.
***********************************************************
I figured that 5K was a good base as 2% gets you ~$100 each day (hopefully) and if it goes against you it isn't too tough to swallow. Plus you can get in and out pretty easy on lower volume stocks.

No play tomorrow for me... too many stocks are riding this wave up. Happy trading to everyone tomorrow!
