This isn't one to "day-trade" on regular occasion. You should be picking stocks in play. For example, GWBU was in play today, that doesn't mean you should trade it tomorrow as well.
Don't be desperate as a trader, there are a lot of stocks out there, don't settle for one with low volume not in play.
This is all coming from a long term investor also. I quit trading for the time being, will get back into it when my cash it right enough to flip 1%'s on lg caps. That's how you do it. Play whats in play, in-between time play lg-caps in play for those 1-3% bounces.
Don't bother trying to run up a stock not in play, you're just tricking people into giving you chump change. That's not playing the game right now is it?
