This is relatively new but in the first 3 days im very encouraged.
I'm putting together a small portfolio ,target is 10 stocks , all with small floats. The smaller , the better.
Step 1 is to determine the range they are trading in by putting your chart on a weekly candle time frame so you can determine the High /low pattern weekly.
Step 2 is when you see a pattern you can feel comfortable with set a buy order where yo want to buy and let that ride.
Step 3 , when your buy order executes , immediately set a sell order for a 20% gain. Park it and let it ride.
I'm allocating $100 to each buy, so if the price is $2 I'm buying 51 shares. I set the sell order for 2.40 (20%) for 50 shares and let it ride. This way when the sell executes it leaves 1 share so when I pull up my account and see 1 share standing I know I had a sell order execute. If I sell all the shares then I may not realize a stock is missing right off the bat and also it gives me an easy way to set the next buy order to repeat the process.
I'm using Webull only for this so I can capture the full premarket / after hours trading.
I actually started this Monday buying in with some stocks I'm familiar with and have had 5 sell executions at 20% plus.
I've traded KWE twice already this week. The float is only 607K . It was in the $3+ range yesterday and I had my 2nd preset buy order set at 2.50. Around 4 am someone sold 8000 shares and it immediately dropped to 2.25 thus triggering my 2.50 buy. When I saw that I set my sell order for 3.25 (30%) and am waiting for it to hit. I went with 30% because I know the stock and the microfloat makes it jump plus it actually has a $180 one year PT.
Anyway, that's my plan to entertain myself until the market becomes normal again. Let me know if you have any suggestions to make it better.
These stocks will move quickly up or down with any volume at all.
Some of the stocks I'm playing in this game : JXJT, CLEU, TIRX, MCOM, HUDI, KWE, HKD, WLGS,PBLA, AKAN
I haven't bought AKAN yet, I have a buy order set at 1.05 right now but it was in our stock challenge, (KcCrow I believe) I remember it having some WILD swings 50% days In fact between yesterdays close and todays open it went from around 1.11 to 2.37. That stock is kwazy! [Reply]
What's your definition of a small float? I was looking at one today with around 900k, KRBP, seemed small. Does Webull have a filter to search for stocks based on float? [Reply]

Anything below 10 mil is a small float but when you get below 2 mil stocks really move. 900K is a microfloat.
For reference MSFT (microsoft) has a float of 7 Billion
I haven't played with Webuls screener but I'm sure it would do it [Reply]

I took a look at KRBP this morning. Looks like a great candidate. It has a LOT of volatility on a weekly. I set a buy limit at 3.50 for 28 shares.
Already hit a trade this morning with PACW , In at 3.50 Out at 4.20 .Hell that only took 15 minutes.LOL [Reply]

My buy order for KRBP filled on 5/9 at 3.50 and sold at 4.40 on 5/10.
I had the sell order set for 4.20 but it rocketed so fast it filled at 4.40 instead (26%). That's what low float stocks can do.

Thanks for the ticker!
Glad you made some off that. It's my thanks to you for bringing up TSLY a couple weeks back. It intrigued me so much I got in a little after it bottomed out and came back up to around 12.90. I've done well off the dividends, except for this month, and the up and down action on it. [Reply]

You keep saying that but I don't see it , Why do people even invest in dividends then?????????
For example:
I put 100 shares of MAIN in my daughters portfolio 1/2021 at 31.96/share
That's $3196
It pays 7% yield at .22 per share per month
The stock is at $39.50 per share now 116.69 shares through reinvestment
Her 100 shares are now worth $4582
That's an increase of 43.36% while the increase in stock price from 31.96 to 39.50 represents 23.59% increase the dividend gains represent the remaining 20% gain.
