All good things come to those who wait (and watch). Just saw 5.47 fly by
********************************
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.
