Good question shanetavarus. Honestly, it is VERY difficult for most average people like the majority of us to short Pennies. Most trading venues out there do not even allow for such a practice (shorting pennies) and the very few that do require such a large amount of $ in ones account that most would not qualify to short Pennies.
The trick is to just get in these and once one has a gain take it and either wait for a dip to reenter or just move onto the next penny play. Don't feel bad about losing as we all do from time to time along with winning on many.
