Hi iwanta-
Welcome!
ihub is an excellent resource for learning, that's a definite!
I also replied to you on the pincher board as well.
One thing you may want to consider in the future, is to "reply" to a post so your comment doesn't get lost in the crowd again :(
Welcome and look forward to seeing you in the future!
Thanks for this board. It is a great help to someone, like myself, who wants to learn this.
Cool thanks man, I thought it was too good to be true. Im very new to this, and am looking to learn a lot!
dyagnyl in that example you won't get profits, many times these "lotto plays" don't pay off.. If the stock was .0001 x .0002 and you bought at .0002, you can hope it uptics to .0002 x .0003 and put a sell in at .0003(the ask)... there is a chance it will sell... Of course the stock you buy in at .0002 could run much higher ie: FFGO ran from .0001 to .0009
what is the reason for the bid/ask gap? ... That all depends, in many cases its demand.. You may have a bunch of traders bidding to buy at .0001 and traders who own it already trying to sell at .0003 with neither buyers or sellers at .0002... If a trader decides to put a buy in at .0002, most of the times you will see the bid uptic to .0002 and thus tightening the bid/ask..
On penny stocks how do you make money on them, with the bid/ask difference? For example if FFGO .002, the Bid is .001, and the ask is .003. I buy the (ask) stock at .003, and wait for the stock price to raise, the stock raised but I can only sell the bid, which is also .003 by then. Where do you get the profit, and what is the reason for the bid/ask gap?

RE: How do you tell how much "POP" ...
Most traders look for resistance points after a stock starts to take of. Some sell near or at these resistance points. I personally take profits on the way up and play it by ear, all runs are different, there are so many things that play a roll in a stock run and how high it may go. Did it have news? Was the news solid? Does the stock have a history of pop and drop on news? any known dilution? Is there a stock group on it that's know for pushing stocks up or just a few known P&D'ers on it? Is the share structure low/high? These are just a few quick questions to ask yourself and DD.
RE: I want to learn how to get into a play on the bottom and ride it up.... You can use many chart indicators to show if a stock is near or at bottom, but just remember, they're just indicators and the stock can still drop further even though these indicators may suggest the chart is bottomed out.
As far as the ride up goes, again, I take profits on the way up and play it by ear. Its an easier ride up instead of holding to long, getting greedy and trying to sell on the way down if bad news comes out or a stock group pulls out fast and/or the momentum just dries up and there is mass sell off.
JMO of course, hope this helps.
I have a question for the board....How do you tell how much "POP" a stock will have. I know that when the bollies close tight the stock will pop. I also understand (I think) how to read the MACD, RSI, ADX and the MAs for buy signals but I seem to pick stocks that don't have much upward movement. They move just not enough. I try not to invest in anything with less than a 250000 average volume. I want to learn how to get into a play on the bottom and ride it up (don't we all). Any help would be appreciated.

Hi cintrix!
Hey Tina!!! :>)
Thank you Jimmy
I'm truly HONORED to assist you and cintrix here :)
Ihub needs board such as this one that help new traders with questions and to provide insights on the markets.
Thanks!
I am not a chartist, but I think it depends on the charting service you are using. Some use white/black, some use green/red. Usually, white and green indicate bullish and red and black bearish.
candlestick charts Question: i get that what it means for hollow vs filled candlesticks. Why are some filled green and some filled red? i have been learning from places that show black and white and that's easy to understand. buy most charts i see also have red and green. what is the significance? tyia.
lol Well some people don't have a "real job" like you and depend on their trading for income!
We're supposed to be making money at this?! Dang!
No, I just go with the flow. I never set sell orders either, I go with the flow, my mind changes consistently.. Not saying its right, thats just the way I roll
Do you stop trading after you make a certain amount of money for the day? I do! This way I lock in profits and don't give them back somewhere else! lol
I did 25 trades today, not a long term trader, mostly day trading. Thats just me though ..
I made six trades today, but that is probably nothing compared to some other traders. Everyone is different.
how many plays a day do you guys usually make say for a day trade? Long term?
For pink sheet stocks I believe different chart settings are required especially because of the short term plays and they are a lot more liquid. Am I wrong? What are typical indicators used for pinkies? What are their settings? Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for the help. I've got some research to do.
Well, if you are playing the pennies for news and filings you can use this:
http://www.stockhouse.com/News/News.aspx?&e=3&y=8/5/2008&b=0&z=25&f=1&l=1&r=0
for news
This one has a bunch of things but it is in delayed:
http://www.microcapmarkets.com/data_main_nav.jsp?market=OTCBB
I get my news instantly from my broker along with other perks for being an active trader.
This is good for filings:
http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/index.jsp
http://www.atedgar.com/
There are loads of sources both free and paid-for that you can use.
Personally, I am not a fan of staying in a penny for any long amount of time. Better off trading them intra day or holding them a day. That's my opinion. I have formed that opinion from experience of making the mistake of holding too long.
Obviously I am a newbie....to pinks anyway. I've played with the larger markets a little bit over the past year but I just don't have the money to invest in those to where it makes enough of a difference to profit. As far as my type of trading I think I would fall into the swing trading category. I am willing to stay in as needed. I don't think I qualify as a "chart reader" but I do know enough to understand charts. I think playing the filings and news is where I fit in.
You know, that is an extremely broad question. There are so many ways depending on the type of trading you do. Are you trading, or investing? I am a bounce player so I watch the top % losers for the day. I also like to watch filings so I watch for 8k releases. Many here are technical traders and they watch charts. Some people are investors who keep watch of earnings plays or fundamentals and that type of info is all available at sites like Yahoo. Are you talking penny stocks or blue chip stocks or something in between? There are sources for all these they of plays. You have to know what type you are interested in first.
How do find your stocks? Check the one of many stock trading boards on the hub for starters. Also, equityfeed has software that scans the markets for movers, you can set the parameters to fit your needs ie: search pinks/otcbb trading between .001 and .05 with at least a 10% gain etc etc. They also have a news feed you can watch for potential trades.
Initially, how does one run across a company they are interested in? Same as above
Do you subscribe to an organization that gives you the heads up or do you run across boards here and find some you want to do your DD on? Same as above
How do you find the early companies? Same as above
Thanks IRISHBULL: I will try Admin first even though the problem is in support, the help tabs should have migrated with the site upgrade too, IMO.
