I did make a measley 100 on a stock that moved 300%, lol, is that not something, still laughing. I am really laughing but at least throw a lucky man a bone.

I usually like a 3% stop initially but I tend to have my stop a little too tight. OPXA never hit my stop ... I just wussed out, thinking it was up too much on the day already. OPXA crossed IB's premarket list way right after they announced the news, I think before 9am EST. I don't know of any other broker that allows for scanning for biggest gainers in pre-market. I'm sure some have that feature. John — it depends. I usually like a 3% stop initially but I tend to have my stop a little too tight.

Cause .05 cents in red is not near that loss rate. More important, did you know about this stock before 9:30 today, or was it something that popped out after the morning opened? I'd love to have a few minutes to scan stocks that are opening up with high pre-market gains. Do you normally back off a trade once it hits that 5% loss rate, cutting losses quick.

Even from my entry point I was never more than 5 cents in the red. It pays to trade scared but not so scared you cannot take reasonable risks.

Also. I think you played it safe as did I. Kept losses to a minimum, mine were 3.5% Not bad considering the stock was in play and did have upward momentum. Those dips just screwed us ... We had a right to be scared though... its rare to see a stock explode like this. Hope we catch some of the many more to come. Other then IB is there a way to find pre-market leaders?
