What I'm looking to trade is a 1 minute surge. Drama!
I want to be in and out fast, and within the opening ~30 minutes of trade. So I'm looking for stocks that are going to make a profit-worthy surge out of the open.
Which stocks might move like that?
Something with a catalyst. This is showing that there is a "rationale" that people are reacting to.
Something opening out of a range. This is showing that something significantly different is happening. These stocks might dump quickly. I can't jump on those trains. I need a rational pivot. Or pass.
What constitutes a pivot? If the stock gaps down, I want to see a temporary move up. Not just dump. I want to see the shorts cover, then buying exhaust, then I'm in for the renewed selling.
Opposite for gap up. I want to see temporary move down. Not moon launch. I want profit takers to get out, selling exhausts. Then I'm in with new buyers.
What constitutes "drama"?
Today I thought the market gapping down against/below strong bull bar was sufficient drama. But yesterday's strong bull bar was all time high. So maybe gap down below all time high isn't sufficiently scary for drama.
