Watching close at the open $SRSP , $NWGFF, $PTOP, $NGMC, $CVRS,$BIOC, $POTN, $PDXP
The one or two that come out of the gate quickest with greatest volume, I will be buying...
Possible exception: IF A Stock has Good News/PR. before the open, I Will Buy out of the gate at the open, if NO Gap. I don't buy the gaps.
After the Open bell News could make $PSXP , $PTOP, SRSP, Explode up.
Important to look at pre open when available and how the stock trades in first 1 min ( extreme ) to 15 mins after the open.
I seem to usually make decision to buy or not after about 1 or 2 mins after the open, but sometimes as long as 30 mins after the open too.
5 mins probably most most typical
