I was watching AMZN last week as it was about to form bottoming setup.
When I enter these setups near close I put stops next day before open. In this case my stop was 10 dollars.
Next day morning stock had a gap and kept going up and was up 28 dollar for the day. Stop was moved near close to protect half of days gains.
Yesterday stock again had a gap and I was watching to get out near a round number like 1790. When it came near that price I sold for around 1789 by 9.45. (I would have held this as swing for few days for potential 100 dollar profit per share. but due to my travel decided to take the money and run).
$4300 dollars profit on 100 shares for less than 2 day hold. 10 dollar stop would have been .57% risk.
Find trades with less than 2.5% risk that is my quest. High priced stocks anticipation/reversal often offers you that opportunity.
