Trade Ideas first 30 minutes profit strategy: STX
STX was first stock to hit the Trade Ideas scan Stocks with most downside momentum scan at open yesterday .
Shorted 1000 shares as soon as I saw STX hitting the , got filled at 57.39. Stop was 1 dollar to begin with. Stock kept going down immediately, moved stop to break even.
Covered 800 at 56.31 for 864 dollars profit. Rest kept with break even stop for possible swing.
1 dollar stop is 1.74% risk. So trade meets my objective of below 2.5% risk. Instant profit. Partial exit to ensure the trade will always be profitable and not let profit turn to loss. 20 minutes and 864 dollar profits. Rest of position got stopped later in the day.

Thank you Pradeep. Appreciate it very much
Very cool setup! I have been watching this scan for a while since you introduced it. May I ask, what was your initial stop of $1 based on?
Thank you for your dedication to teaching traders. I appreciate it enormously!
I see your stop was HOD. Would break of VWAP be a better stop for a better reward:risk?
As it was in first 1 minute, the 1 dollar was based on my risk tolerance for these kind of trades.
I do not use vwap. So no idea. I use 49 cents to 10 dollar stop based on price of stock
