In the pre-market BBLG was the #1 stock on my scanner list. After 10 minutes it went down to #4 and was replaced by ZNGA. I stopped looking at BBLG in the pre-market and began prepping for the open market at 9:30am EST. ZNGA was the highest percent change volume leader but when the stock market opened ZNGA opened down. BBLG was #4 on the list but it had moved up to the #3 position that's when I set up a limit order at $4.90.  Initially I was partially filled with only 100 shares but the stock went up and...

In the pre-market NTRB was on an uptrend from the pre market open at 7 am EST and it kept going going up. NTRB stock was up over 30% before the market opened. I set a limit order about 15 cents above the premarket price at 9:29am. And sure enough the stock went up and then came down to my limit price.

If the #1 stock was never replaced I was open to the possibility of not making any trades yesterday. Luckily my #3 stock AEY I analyzed replaced the...

When you start trading more often you will notice that at times your stock trading platform takes a while to show your real time data. This can cost you thousands of dollars. When I first started I would rely on my trading platform to show me the percentage I was up or down to guide by trading decisions. I knew sometimes there would be lag time but when it cost me money I started looking for a solution to the problem. The best way to overcome this is to already have your price entry and exits written down or memorized....

In the pre-market this stock KTTA was up some percentage points and was the number 2 stock out of my stock scanning list. At 9:28Am EST it took the #1 spot and out of the three top stocks it was the only one that kept going up. When I saw this I immediately put in a limit order at $2.05 which was above the price of $2.00 before the market opened at 9:30 AM EST.  I was able to purchase 5500 shares. The stock price went from $2.05 to $2.27 generating nice profit of 9.7%. I was able to catch this...
